Just a little heads up for those who might be interested - the demo for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Need For Speed Shift will be available tomorrow, October 1st, on their respective online fronts.

Yes! We now have the car roster for the new NFS installment for consoles and PC, Need for Speed Shift (Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PSP). It's a handsome line-up, I should say, with 18 authentic race tracks, and over 65 pixel-perfect cars. The cover car: the coveted BMW M3 GT2. *drool* Plus, there's also the track list for the game, as well as some screenshots of the BMW ride.

If you've got the need for speed, then you'll definitely need this: v1.0.1.18 patch is now available across all platforms that Need for Speed: Undercover is in - and that's quite a list of platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, NDS, PC, mobile and PS2.

Much to the delight of motorheads here at QJ.NET, demos for Codemaster's Race Driver: GRID (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC) is now available for download. In case you want to find out more about the demos, head on over to the full article by clicking on the "read more" link below.

Website GT Channel is claiming that its staffers got a copy of an almost complete list of cars that will be appearing in Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

Before we give you the supposed list, GT Channel also added that one of their sources told them that the other circuits included in GT 5 Prologue will either be Laguna Seca, Infineon or Nordschliefe.

Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced that the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo will be staying on the Japanese PlayStation Store than originally announced. Instead of getting removed on November 11, the free demo will be available on the Japanese PlayStation Store until November 30.

The Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo shows off the Suzuka racing circuit as well as seven different cars including the Nissan GT-R, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR and the BMW 135i Coupe. The demo isn't online-capable, but you can still simulate one hell of a driving experience by having 16 cars on the track all at once.

The full version of Sony and Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be available on both the PlayStation Store and in retail stores on December 11.

The news of Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue hitting stores and the PlayStation Store at December 13 isn't so far back in our memory, but an official announcement at the on-going Tokyo Game Show added a few more details to the free downloadable demo coming soon. On October 20, a month from now, you can expect to try out digital replicas of new car models, such as the shiny, sexy Nissan GT-R.

This revelation coincides with the first day of the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the 40th iteration of the celebrated car show. And just to up the game's constant drool factor with its fans, Sony also released another slew of screenshots, plus a trailer to get your engines primed. You can view the video by following the Via link.

Got game? You can bet fellow blogger Rio S. does, because the Nissan GT-R is top choice. A BMW Z4 is just enough to whet this writer's appetite, so what's the chariot you're aching to try? Check out more Gran Turismo 5 Prologue screenshots.

  

More screenshots to zoom your way, if you go to the full article.

 

Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes before races? Pit crews, drivers, and the shiny shiny cars? Well, we've got some screenshots straight from Polyphony Digital's upcoming PlayStation 3 video game, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, that illustrate just what happens backstage of the race track.

Remember the last batch of screenshots? More cars are showcased this time around (with this writer's personal favorite, the Nissan GT-R Proto): Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Ferrari F430, Alfa Romeo Brera, Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione, Audi R8, Audi TT 3.2 Quattro, and BMW Z4 3.0i. Whew. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is definitely a car enthusiast's dream come true.

Anyway, check out the screenshots and tell us what you think. In case you need reminding, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to invade the shelves (or the PlayStation Network) worldwide in October 26. In the meantime, ogle all you like.

More photorealistic screenshots after the jump!

Whether you like video game-based movies or not, "Resident Evil: Extinction" is well on its way. September 21 is right around the corner, and we can expect aggressive marketing before the fated day comes. To promote the movie, Sony unleashed a hot BMW motorcycle at Comic-con.

Because of the "Zombie Violence" tag, let's just call it that. The decals look sweet and all, the polish is perfect, and the whole thing looks like a beast, but we'd sell a dozen Ducati to the junkyard just to get a bike with Resident Evil on it. Watching the movie is an entirely different issue.

I swear. Sometimes you see the weirdest things being auctioned online. Bricked PSP-omelettes and whatnot. With the PS3 launch and some 50 hired homeless men to wait in line for a console, auctions for a PS3 online is now a fact of life. And with sheer amounts of people trying to eke out an eBay incentive, you're bound to hit something strange. And that's just what this is. Strange. But tempting...

reyperez7 is selling his PS3 unit for US$9,500. Pretty steep, that's for sure! And to think, PS3 prices have already dropped on eBay already. Plus, not only is it way steep for a PS3, in fact, it's just a 20GB model. He's promising that it's still sealed and very much new - straight from Best Buy. So what makes his starting bid so high?

Well, if you do purchase his PS3, you're going to get a free BMW with it! Yes, guys: buy his console and you get an additional car with it! We're not kidding. He's not kidding. And if you check his stats, the bid's legit. He says that the car is well-maintained and has never even been in an accident. The rest of his specs are at his bidding page.

Oh, and if that's not enough to convince you, here's the kicker. He's even throwing in a Blu-ray movie of "Talladega Nights." Wo0t.
