PSN GT5: Prologue is online-only, says site

According to this, if you downloaded GT5: Prologue from PSN yesterday you may find that you can only play it if you’re connected to the service. As in, you can’t play it offline.

Also, you can’t transfer the file, as it’s linked specifically to the account that downloaded it, although we can’t quite see why you’d want to do that anyway.

Sounds like it might have been better to buy the disc, no?

The reason having games like GT5 and Warhawk limited to one account is obvious – if you have multiple gamers in the same household, each of them has to pay £24.99 to play the game using their respective PSN accounts.

Whereas in the same household, buying the game on disc means any one with any account can use the game.

Plus you can resell it afterwards after being bored to your teeth bleed by replaying the same races over and over again to get the next car you need.
