Weezer rocks on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue’s soundtrack

Sony is really padding Gran Turismo 5 Prologue with extra content for North America. On top of car tuning and split screen racing Sony is adding acts like Weezer to the soundtrack. “Automatic” (LA Riots remix) is one of twelve new tracks exclusive to the North American version. Other new songs include “On Board” from indie rockers Friendly Fires, “Love Love” from hip hop artist DJ Shadow and “Let There Be Light”, an electronica track from Justice.

The complete song list with the additions from the Japanese version are below, but I’m honestly not entirely interested in analysis the song choices to death. I'm more curious if these new features are shaking the “this is a paid demo of Gran Turismo 5” vibe kicked around when Sony announced this for North America. In other words, will you buy this?
