Gran Turismo 5 Spec II repackaged for retail  photo

Gran Turismo 5 Spec II is a new retail package for Japan that contains Gran Turismo 5 upgraded with the v.2 update, as well as a voucher for the big DLC "Complete Pack" that was recently released. Famitsu says that this new package will be available in Japan on February 2 for 4,980 yen. 

This new package takes a bit off the original price and then adds in the most recent DLC for free. Not bad.

I'm sure people will mistake this as a sequel and will end up owning two copies of the same game.

Forza 4 is so much better (oh yeah, I'm starting THAT)

haven't played racing games in a long time.

my last game was probably Burnout Revenge PS2

heck i still haven't gotten Burnout Paradise, is it good??

though i just got Wipeout HD with DLC through the Welcome back package and it's silky smooth as hell :P

any racing games that are like Burnout and Wipeout???

i think F-Zero is probably the closest that we can get on a wipeout like(or vice versa)

Does it annoy anyone else that the "real driving simulator" now has a fake car on its cover?

@Princeheir yeah Burnout Paradise is awesome!

@Topic

I feel this isn't such a great deal actually... Forza 3 ultimate-edition had 6 DLC-packs ( about 60 new cars ) and 2 or 3 new real-world-tracks, while this has 1 new real-world-track ( OK, it's Spa so that kinda beats any other track ) and 15 new cars ( of which 7 are Skylines btw ).

Tempted ringer this but the "demo" didn't do much for me, so I never grabbed 5. Plus I own Forza 4 and that makes me hnnng. Will have to rent 5 and see if this worth it. Busy season.

If my girlfriend gets me a PS3 for Christmas (which I have a hunch she is), I would definitely pick this up.

Although I'm barely playing Forza 4 (or anything else) at the moment. Thank you, Skyrim. My life is yours right now.

Yeah, it's hard to justify a purchase of GT5 with Forza on my shelf. Both games are great, I'm sure, but it's difficult to imagine I'd have the time to play both. Maybe next Summer.

Is this coming to the states? I love retail more than DLC.

NFS: Hot Pursuit remains my go-to racer. I prefer the arcade action to sims like GT and Forza.

At least it will stop you downloading several gigs of patches on first start-up. That's a plus.

@princeheir if you have a pc decent enough, give nitronic rush a try, its a fee game that was featured here a while back.

I found both gt5 and forza 4 gave me the exact same experience...

1. Wow it looks good.
2. It's pretty fun to play
3. Now I'm bored.

While I enjoy they'll now and then, racers don't keep my attention for long..

Not bad indeed. I'm glad I didn't buy GT5 yet. :)

I love GT5. Still haven't picked up the DLC though, partially because it was much more underwhelming than I anticipated, partially because of Skyrim.
