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.

the signature edition looks nice, but no way i’d pay that for it.
and still no release date?
and they now say it’s coming later this year, so probably not november any more, i would not be at all surprised to see this not get a release in europe till the new year.

just pre ordered with Game for the signature edition :D
never spent this much on a game before, but GT has a special place in my heart to warrant such price!

Me too … it’s insane but if the game is as good as I expect to be, then it will be the best £150 spent in a long time.

Where you pre-ordering from?

Just release it already. This is the only game that can tear me away from the CoD series. If the UK release date is later than the US I can see myself getting it imported.

No offence but if you’re one of those people who can’t find a single game more worthy of your time than CoD from all the stuff that’s already out, you’ve got bigger issues than GT5’s release date. Go to the store and buy some of the many excellent games already out.

“real world challenges”
Like what. Film yourself driving around the M25 like a complete twunt whilst doing an entire single lap in under an hour, then submit to win a car*
*You are not allowed to enter the competition if you have a Volvo T5 with special livery and flashing lights.

as good as all the extras sound the game is the only thing i want and if i spend upto £150 on GT5 i will get a good steering wheel (driving force GT probably).

This is available to pre order on Game’s website now! I won’t post a link to make it easy for you guys as this site doesn’t like that kind of thing and see being helpful as a liscence to publicly chastise peolple! >:O Hope this helps if you want to get your per orders in early.
