No fair: Europe gets the Gran Turismo PSP hookup photo

We already know that Europe is getting Gran Turismo PSP free with their PSPgo. We'll give that to them, as they always get the shaft. But after seeing the other goodies they're getting, including a Collector's Edition release of the game, and another slick bundle, we're beginning to think that Sony thinks we dislike Gran Turismo.

Remember when we told you about our Limited Edition Gran Turismo PSP Entertainment Pack, set to release on October 20th? It's just a good ol' Silver PSP-3000, the game, and a couple of vouchers. Europe has another pack aside from the PSPgo one. It contains a PSP that features special GT branding and ornaments in a unique Titanium finish. Oh, and they get a leather pouch!

It's not just the bundles that got the hook-up. There's a Collector's Edition release of the game for Europe. This special rainbow silver foil effect Collector’s Edition pack has a voucher for a Bugatti Veyron inside, along with five special art cards based on the vehicle. 

As a bonus kick in the balls, their bundle hits on launch date, October 1st. Ours? Two weeks or more later. You win this one, EU. Sony, what's the deal? Is Europe the new Japan?

No one with a PSP already and a brain should waste money on a new PSP anyways. They can have all the bundles they want, my easily hacked PSP-1000 is still just as good.

I'm happy to see Europe getting some fan service.

I'm personally getting the AC PSP3000 deal and can still pick up the GT5 PSP CE in the states.

I'm not surprised by this, seeing as GT generally sells 3 times as much copies in Europe than in America.

We're also getting the console at the equivalent of about $400 so easy come, easy go.

I want to second daysocks regarding price issues. The friggin thing costs the equivalent of 365 USD, so we are still getting served.

The box looks like it might as well have contained the Beatles Rock Band Bundle. Wow.

No Fair?

You tell me if a £230 retail price is fair!

Seems only fair being as though you American's have generally stuffed Sony with your homo-love of Microsoft for the last few years!

PAL territories are all about Sony, and it's about time we got some appreciation for that.
