Here we see the image on Sony's site...It's not uncommon for gamers who don't care for racing sims to look at the Gran Turismos and Project Gotham Racings of the world and wonder what the difference is.
Apparently it can be hard for the companies themselves to distinguish between the various franchises, judging from the art for today's featured download (pictured, right) on Sony's PlayStation Portable video download site.
The download, a new preview trailer for the downloadable PlayStation 3 offering Gran Turismo HD, features art from a game that isn't Gran Turismo HD. As Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb pointed out on his blog, it's actually a screenshot from the Xbox 360 game Project Gotham Racing 3 (pictured, below right).
And here it is on the PGR3 developer's Web site.Sony released Gran Turismo HD as a free download on the PS3's online store last month. Project Gotham Racing 3 was released for the Xbox 360 in time for the system's November 2005 launch.
As of press time, the Project Gotham Racing shot had not been pulled from the Connect Web site, but a Sony Computer Entertainment America representative told GameSpot that the Connect team was being notified of the issue.

Sony Site Snafu
Gran Turismo HD the next Project Gotham Racing?
by Hilary Goldstein
January 25, 2007 - The next-generation of consoles has arrived and Microsoft and Sony are on precipice of an all-out war of words. As executives from both companies jostle for an edge in public opinion, every mistake is certain to be blown out of proportion. And so it is that a graphic designer's ill-advised decision is going to put a dent in Sony's armor.
On the Sony-owned site PSP Connect, a large banner promising a Gran Turismo HD video preview uses a screenshot from Microsoft's Project Gotham Racing 3.
The image on top is from PGR 3 developer Bizarre Creation's website. It is clearly the same image used on the PSP Connect banner displayed on the bottom of our graphic.
Mistakes do happen and it's safe to assume Sony had no intention of using its competitors' arcade racing title to advertise Gran Turismo HD. The GT HD content this banner links to is actually by the marketing service MediaSpigot and not packaged by SCE or Sony Corp -- it's unknown who's responsible for the blundered banner itself. In a high-stakes battle for control of the next-gen gaming world, even innocent errors can become big news. Already, Microsoft's Major Nelson is reporting on the snafu as is IGN's sister site Team Xbox.
Years from now, Sony execs may be able to sit back and get a good laugh out of this. But in the midst of a battle that could decide the fate of an entire company, this is no laughing matter.

有圖有真相
用別人家遊戲的圖片 偽造成自己家遊戲大作的****
SONY是因為現在PS3銷售量不好而在搞自殘嗎？
