The official EU PlayStation Blog has finally unveiled the Gran Turismo 5 Special Edition packages, which will be exclusive to Europe. The first, with its “artfully sculpted exterior” and glossy finish, is the one to get. If you’ve got the cash, that is, because it’s going to cost you €179.99.
Still, this “Signature Edition” is packed with goodies, including the aforementioned metal box, a 1:43 SLS AMG model car, a GT leather wallet (with competition entry card), a branded USB key, a GT branded key fob, a coffee table book and a 200 page Apex drivers magazine. Oh, and the game.
The Signature Edition also comes with five “ChromeLine” Collector’s Edition cars plus six “Stealth” vehicles in the game, both featuring “enhanced performance and liveries” and an exclusive dynamic PS3 theme.
Good, eh? It gets better – that competition card? It gives you entry to a special exclusive competition which will combine both in-game and real world challenges, and the ultimate prize: a real Mercedes SLS AMG. Really.
If you don’t have the cash for the Signature Edition, then there’s always the “Gran Turismo 5 Collector’s Edition” which will cost you ‘just’ €79.99. The Collector’s Edition includes the special in-game cars and the Apex drivers magazine, but just in a slip-case rather than the metal job.
All good.

I wouldn’t mind a chance to win a Mercedes SLS AMG, but the £150ish entry price is enough to put me off

At the moment, only a couple of places are selling the non-standard versions: Game has the Sig Ed for £150 and Play has the Coll Ed for £60.

I may get the collector’s edition, but £150 is far too much to spend on one game, £110 for a model car, USB stick, key gob, entry to a competition you almost certainly won’t win and a bigger box. Doesn’t quite seem worth it.

Oh and a wallet and another book, still doesn’t tempt me tbh.

I think the Collector’s edition for me, signiture is quite pricey.

wow, im still sticking with the standard though, the games good enough!! although that signature edition does look good, im not going to throw my money at it, even with the possibility of winning a SLS (i saw one on the motorway last week, and it was amazing, in silver, in the fast lane, made going fast look effortless!! what a beast of a car!! anyways im getting the standard GT5 edition which comes with a case, a disk and a manual, thats enough for me.

Thinking about it, this is all well and good, but do we have an EU release date yet?
