Top Gear Coming To.. PS3?

Sony will be launching a “Gran Turismo” channel on the PlayStation Network some time next year, and apparently 40+ episodes of Top Gear will be available for download and purchase. I’m a big Top Gear fan, so I look forward to being able to download “on demand” some of my favorite episodes. I do wonder what type of image quality and aspect ratio these episodes will have though. I don’t believe the show is available in HD anywhere, but it would be great to have that option.

Gran Turismo 5 is not set to release until at least mid-2008, but this year will see the release of the appetite-whetting downloadable-or-retail Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, recently revealed as supporting up to 16 players online. A demo is currently available through the Japanese PSN. The game’s full release, set for December in Japan, will include a virtual version of Top Gear’s well known test track, Hammerhead turn and all (playable The Stig likely not included).
