Polyphony Digital, the creators of the Gran Turismo series and the BBC are teaming up to offer Top Gear episodes for download via Gran Turismo TV on PS3.
GT TV plans to offer users the latest news from the world of motoring and is due for launch in 2008. In this new deal there will be 40 episodes of Top Gear available for download.
“We at Polyphony are great fans of the world’s best motoring programme, Top Gear, so we’re delighted to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide to deliver Top Gear content via Gran Turismo,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital,
“We’re sure that players will be as thrilled as we are when they get the chance to put their own driving skills to the test on the Top Gear Test Track in GT5, as well as enjoying classic episodes of Top Gear via GT TV.”
Simon Danker, Director, Digital Media, BBC Worldwide commented,
“BBC Top Gear is the world’s number one motoring media brand and we’re thrilled to make it accessible to Gran Turismo gamers. We continue to explore different avenues to share our content with an expanding audience, and are delighted to participate with Polyphony Digital in the launch of this exciting new opportunity.”
Each week on Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson tests the latest cars on the Top Gear test track. In conjunction with the episodes these tracks will then be able to be
downloaded and played on Gran Turismo 5.

It tickles me to see that the PS3, the much-vaunted do-it-all ultimate next-gen console needs yet MORE value-added content to try and make people buy it ;)
Sure you guys will get it as well when GT5 is released on the 360 next year ;)Quote
