PSN Store Adds BBC America Shows Including Top Gear USA

November 29, 2010 12:30 PM

The PlayStation Network Store has added content from BBC America, including the much-loved, automobile-focused Top Gear... oh, wait, no it's the US version. It might be good, but I'm sure people would prefer the UK version.

In any case, the first episode of Top Gear USA is now available for free on the PlayStation Store, which Sony believes offers " great segue to... Gran Turismo 5."

Additional shows will be added through December, including Doctor Who, Being Human, and other unnamed "hits" available in HD ($2.99/episode) or SD ($1.99/episode).

Probably the worst show I've ever watched... Why did they make a US version of Top Gear, it's cast is pretty awful. Sure they know there stuff about cars but it's the chemistry between the group that's lacking any laughable value the UK version has.... Plus they are just rehashing everything the original show. It was hard to watch to be honest. I guess I could just not watch it then eh?

  I agree with your opinion of the new top gear. Its doesn't seem right.

  I would have to disagree with you there, yeah it's just like watching jezza, hamster and captain slow, but isn't that a GOOD thing?
