Uh
How come the screenshot there, aside from the fact it doesn't belong smack-bang in the middle there, says Gt4 and is dated 2002? Kirbysuperstar 12:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but it was only added about 11 hours before your post on this page, and there have been no edits since, so I reverted. :) --Dreaded Walrus 13:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Spelling: Cancelled versus Canceled
A quick web-search suggests that "canceled" is an acceptable spelling. American spelling tends to favo[u]r fewer letters. Wikipedia tends to prefer American spelling, unless the article in question is about a British subject. But I'm not an editor by trade, and need to do more research on this particular subject.--SportWagon 18:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Something about "canceled" just looks wrong. That said, Wikipedia's policy does not favour specific national spellings outside of specific articles (articles about UK subjects use UK spelling, articles about US subjects use US speling, etc.), rather it favours a first-come-first-served model, in which we don't "fix" other editors' spelling in this way.

 * Well, someone decided they had to fix "canceled", so that wasn't first-come-first-serve.--SportWagon 23:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * All this said, it looks like it's two L's in the UK, and editor's choice in the US. And we don't have an editor, here.  That's based on wiktionary entries canceled, cancelled, and their talk pages.--SportWagon 23:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone has decided to "fix" it, then we leave it. Someone else will inevitably decide to "fix" it again.  Chris cheese whine 23:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

In general, it seems that UK articles use UK spellings, US articles use US spellings. Wikipedia only prefers US spellings either in articles about US subjects (such as White House, American football e.t.c.), or in articles that have used US spellings since the beginning/ since the last major rewrite/contribution. And likewise, Wikipedia only prefers UK spellings either in articles about UK subjects (Stephen Fry, BBC) or where the article has been with UK spellings for since the beginning e.t.c. That said, all spelling within an article should of course be consistent, so if this article uses US spelling, and a UK editor comes along and adds in a new section that is good in all ways, although it uses different spelling to the rest of the article, then of course it should be changed to be consistent with the rest of the article. --Dreaded Walrus 02:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Different variants may happily co-exist in an article, as long as any given word is spelled consistently throughout the article. No good having "cancelled" atop the page, and "canceled" afoot it.  Chris cheese whine 02:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I definitely agree with that. I now know^H^H^H^Hbelieve that both spellings are U.S. spellings ("variants"), making this a theoretically tricky case.  I guess I learned something by commenting on such a minor point.--SportWagon 17:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Duh. There already were 4(?) instances of cancelled, some in category names, etc., so I changed one remaining instance of canceled.  Duh.--SportWagon 17:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

What the?
I don't really understand the whole concept of GTHD from reading this. I've never had a full explanation of what this is.

I can see that it WAS to be a game you buy and was pretty much GT4 +HD, and now is...a bunch of downloadable demo races?

Do you go out and buy a game on disc, buy downloadable game "pieces" or just get free demos? Mr toasty 04:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

The game is 100% free and only contains 1 track, and 10 cars with 2 configurations each. It also has a drift mode. If that isn't in the article I'll add it now. --24.141.46.113 00:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

1080p removal
1080p is not selectable in the game's options while 720p and 1080i are that's why i've removed it Cliché Online 20:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

hidden movie
just noticed the chinese version 1.1 features a hidden GTHD promo clip "passage to Gran Turismo 5" with tomoyasu hotei's famous kill bill theme (battle without honor or humanity #2). the video was displayed while the game was on autodemo (rolling demonstration). is this bonus video available in other versions as well? Cliché Online 18:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * ok i just saw it in the US version, that means this is in the version 2.0 as well. because of the featured cars it deserves a mention in the article in the upcoming "trailers" section. Cliché Online 19:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Discontinuation Section
It's only mentions the discontinuation of it in the Japanese PlayStation Store. It was discontiuned in the US store as well and I'm assuming everywhere else too. Even if the writer knew the discontiunation was in other regions as well, the phrasing of the section makes it sound like it only happened in Japan. --Ashitaka96 undefined 10:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
