make.believe: Gran Turismo Made Him a Pro

<p>If you followed along with today’s <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sony-ces-press-conference-2010">Sony CES press conference</a>, you got a taste of Sony’s unified, global “make.believe” message.

A couple of examples were shown off during the press conference, but here’s an example that is a little more on track for us gamers: the story of how Lucas Ordonez went from <a href="http://www.gran-turismo.com/">Gran Turismo</a> player to <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/lucas-ordoez-the-first-virtual-to-real-race-driver/11623/">real-life racer</a>:</p>
