Serial numbers are provided below for reference and collection purposes. There were several different themed releases for Prologue, most of them released only in Japan. Many of the menu sound effects, music, and graphics were recycled from the previous game, and some tracks, like the New York Circuit, were still in earlier stages of development. Also featured was a "Driving School" (similar to License Tests in previous games), Free Run, and Time Attack. Prologue included 50 of the then-planned 500 cars for Gran Turismo 4, and only 5 available tracks. The European version also included a bonus documentary "making-of" disc. In consolation, Polyphony Digital released Prologue, a preview version of what was planned for the full release. Gran Turismo 4 was intended to be released worldwide in time for Christmas of 2003, but it was delayed.
