GTPlanet

I am very happy to announce GTPlanet’s latest venture into the world of online video with GranTurismoTV.com! This is the first online video channel dedicated to the Gran Turismo series, and we anticipate it to fill up quickly with lots of new Gran Turismo 5 content on the horizon. The new site also represents the next stage in the evolution of our online community, as users will be able to quickly and easily upload their own content to be featured. The GranTurismoTV.com video player is also completely “embeddable”, so you can display our videos on your own forum or blog posts. Here’s a quick sample of the new player, showing the Japanese intro movie from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

For years, I’ve always had a hard time updating the main page of the site. Our previous software was clunky and out of date, and posting new articles was a real pain - definitely not something that is fun to do by any measure. Now, however, we’re using WordPress, and I look forward to easily adding new content on a frequent basis. WordPress will also allow others to contribute articles here on the main site, which is a feature I look forward to taking advantage of. Feel free to use this post as a test of the comments system. Remember, you will need to create a new account to post comments as this section of the site is not connected with our forum database.
