Now that Gran Turismo 5 is really really coming, we can start thinking about what it's going to look like, especially in its limited edition forms. Today Sony has revealed what both the 179 Euro Signature Edition and cheaper 79.99 Euro Collector's Edition will contain. The former "strictly limited" bundle is a GT lovers dream, packed with a bunch of goodies, all packed in a fancy-ass sculpted metal box. Check this out:
- Metal sculpted box finished in SLS AMG Obsidian Black
- Exclusive GT branded SLS AMG 1:43 model car
- GT leather wallet containing Signature Edition competition entry card
- Branded USB key with Polyphony/Mercedes-Benz trailer
- GT branded metal key fob
- Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo 5
- 200 page Apex drivers magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more
- five in-game ‘ChromeLine’ Collector’s Edition cars plus six ‘Stealth’ vehicles
- Oh, and the game
That competition entry card refers to the Europe-only contest to win a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG car. If you are in Europe, more details will be released on the contest shortly, says the EU PS Blog.
The Collector's Edition is smaller, but still nice. It comes with the game, the Apex driver's magazine, five artcards, and a set of five ChromeLine vehicles. For Europe, both sets will also come with 6 pre-order cars.
I...I just want the game.

...I can't wait to run the 24hr LeMans endurance race y'all. Who's with me?
If i could justify the price I would get this for sure! just for the wallet and the keychain.
What? I need a new wallet and keychain!
The game itself is good enough, thanks anyways.
Thank God we got the Nissan here though. I fricken hate Mercedes even more than I hate BMW's. I might have turned my nose up at it like I was Jim Sterling being offered a free 3D TV.
if you are a Fan of this franchise...a passioned one, every single buck is worth it.
Its a homage to all fans.
Most good coffee table books are expensive enough and a guide a magazine..nice.
The metal box is awesome too...some kind of GoW3 Pandoras Box.
The Usb stick a mercedes car key...nice too.
Its a love letter to all GT fans...
Night vission goggles are cheaper, lol.
When it's out I'll cya online on the Top Gear Test Track. So looking forward to this.
Be getting the standard version though.
You fail.
And wtf is with the PGR reference? Outdated much? If you're going to troll stick with Forza.
For the record, I got nothing against PGR or Forza, but I'm looking forward to some GT5. I'll admit to being a little disinterested for a while there, but the stuff they've shown recently has me hooked again.
Thing is GT is not about vehicle damage, it's about THE DRIVING, not the race. It's a DRIVING game rather than the RACING games you listed.
Personally, I wasn't a fan of Forza or PGR, they were good racing games, but GT is the DRIVING game.
It's about each and every corner, how you handle it, not how damaged your car is from the last laps, how you take each and every corner, shaving off hundredths of seconds and beating your best time. Forza, PGR etc are about racing and winning, GT is just about the driving.
And if I hear "wah wah no oversteer-understeer" again i'm gonna screem. Oversteer and understeer, correctly in relation to the car your driving is in GT, has been since the PS1 and is realistic.
You want every rear wheel drive car to give big powerslides round every corner, action packed, sideways racing! - you're not looking for Gran Turismo.
You want a car to drive LIKE IT'S REAL COUNTERPART - you're looking for Gran Turismo.
Seriously Polyphony have been doing this a long time, they know how to make a driving sim.

Yep because grinding around the barrier is how a simulator is supposed to be played.
