Gamespot quotes the PD president as saying setting up the online infrastructure in Japan and Europe was a challenge for them.
I don't know how elaborate their networking support was going to be. Was it going to be simple peer-to-peer with a PS2 hosting the race for a number of other players?
Or were they going to have dedicated servers, a la SOCOM?
Maybe milking another $50 would help fund a more elaborate setup.
BTW, I'm hoping PD could just get GT4 over with and start work on GT5 for the PS3 if they haven't already. GT3 and GT4 took long enough so I'd hate to think how long GT5 would take, especially if they're ambitious and try to fill up a BD-ROM (over 50 courses in GT4 so they would probably try to top that number by a good margin)
