Gran Turismo 5 Signature Edition, Collector’s Edition Announced for International Release

Gran Turismo 5 August 4th, 2010 by Jordan

Remember when we first got the hint that there would be “two collector’s editions” of Gran Turismo 5? It turns out that was correct, as the Signature Edition was just announced today for everyone except residents of the United States. Here’s what you get for €179.99 (pre-order here at Amazon.fr):

  • Sculpted metal box, finished with SLS AMG Obsidian Black paint.
  • SLS AMG 1:43 model car
  • Leather GT-branded wallet with competition entry card (see below)
  • GT-branded USB key with a special GT5 trailer
  • GT-branded key fob
  • Coffee table book featuring the cars and locations of GT5
  • 200-page Apex book with driving and tuning tips, discussion of future technologies, and more.
  • Five unique “Chrome Line” edition cars (see below).
  • The “competition entry card” provided with the wallet grants you access to a special competition – one that combines in-game and real-world challenges, much like the GT Academy. The prize, though, is extraordinary: a real Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG super car of your very own. (More details on this competition will be announced later.)
  • Also like the GT Academy, United States, Canadian, and even Japanese fans are out of luck, as the Signature Edition (and the competition) will only be available to residents of the following countries: UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Europe also has their own Collector’s Edition coming, which differs slightly from the US version. Here’s what it includes for €79.99:

  • A commemorative “slip case” featuring the artwork that was originally spotted in this video.
  • The five unique Chrome Line cars (see below).
  • Five collectable “art cards”.

These five “Chrome Line” cars will be available as DLC in all special editions of Gran Turismo 5, including the United States:

  • Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro Chrome Line Edition
  • BMW M3 Coupe Chrome Line Edition
  • Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Chrome Line Edition
  • Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe Chrome Line Edition
  • Shelby Cobra 427 Chrome Line Edition

Six more special cars will also be used as pre-order incentives by different retailers around the world:

Thanks to all who sent this in!

    Why is it that the US get 5 cars, a book, key chain, nice box AND a model car for £3:00 more than europe get the same book, 5 art cards, and a theme!

    Combine the EU and US collector’s editions, sell the result worldwide for £5/$10, and make a few more signature editions to sell in the US and Canada. Done. Everyone happy.

    Ok I just wonder.
    PD needs to get the money from this Signature editions ( S.E )to pay for the SLS AMG. If a stock Mercedes SLS AMG costs around 180,000 euros and S.E costs 179 euros, so they’ll need to sell only 1000 copies to start making profit, but coming from the real price (what it costs for PD) of 145 euros. Below is how much I think each thing will cost for PD :
    The normal price for a 1:43 model car starts at 40 euros,
    the game costs 65 euros,
    a normal (bad) wallet starts at 15 euros,
    a USB Stick starts at 10 euros,
    the book APEX 10 euros
    and the other stuff somewhere around 5 euros to make.
    Equals 145 euros.
    So 35 euros (180 – 145) of profit is going to cover the SLS Amg.
    So 180,000 : 35 = 5142 S.E GT5 copies to start having some profit out of this. So this Limited edition might be very rare, cos more than 3 million people would like to buy it.
    So the only thing I wish you is luck, luck to all the GT planet visitors to get the S.E of GT5 :D
    If I said something wrong, or ofended someone please reply below.

      something dosent work of what you just said … if they need money from it to pay the mercedes and make profit .. why the hell would they make it rare to get ??? they need money for this game and the next .. and for your items cost …. is way less than that because they will sell thousands of these so the production price is less ! if a wallet cost 15-20 by exemple … one wallet out of 30.000 maybe cost about 1$ for them lol …. and an other thing . maybe the high price is for paticipating to get the mercedes … but they are sponsored by mercedes … it has been like 2 years sls amg trailers around the world … this mercedes cost nothing from PD .. so they will make hell of money with those china wallets and free mercedes , normal ediditon, signature edition, euro edition . etc. !!

    When a headline says ‘outside the USA’ I expect Canada and Japan to be part of this designated area. Guess not :(. Good info though guys thanks.

    Impersonation is the highest form of flattery. Come on guys, you can do better than that. Two things separate my comments from the ones Mr Latte and the childish crew made:

    1. IP address
    2. e-mail address used

    Nice try though, but only an idiot would write a comment on a website in the name of somebody else.

      You’re right about being able to distinguish your real comments,

      Whoever was pretending to be was far more constructive and managed to sum up your shameful attitude down to a tee.

      Well done that man!

      Mr Latte

      The powers at be can check all they want, you wont find my IP address was used so your not even close in assuming I had anything to do with that.

      I dont need to impersonate you, to make fun of you.
      Its clear with your attitude and how you treat/talk to others that your quite capable of making trouble for yourself.

      Actually its amusing someone, whoever it was had the humour to do it.

    Win!!! The McLaren is my favorite out of all the cars available and I already pre-ordered from Gamestop. I can’t play the game until December though as I’ll be on travel for work. :(

    That’s it, I’ve had enough of reading stupid comments from people who aren’t up to my intellectual superiority.

    I smell of wee wee.

    I pre-ordered my Collector’s Edition from GameStop… I really wanted the GT-R Stealth car (from Amazon), but when I canceled my regular copy of GT5, stupid GameStop will only give you store credit… Oh well… I guess a McLaren F1 is good enough. ;)

    BTW… Which is better (in terms of statistics): The GT-R GT or the McLaren F1? I’m not a car expert, I wouldn’t know :)

      Whoops, the Amazon pre-order bonus is the SLS AMG Stealth Model. Guess I should’ve looked first :P Anyone kind enough could still answer my question, though :)

      but the gt-r gt should handle better than the mclaren f1

    I don´t like the special cars. The paint shemes are ugly…lok at the blue Murcielago. I buy all cars ingame in a better color.
    The Signature Edition is way overpriced. I mean, there is a lot chinese produced accessories in the box, which does not cost more than 10 Euros. I don´t pay 180€ to have a wallet with GT logo.

    I will buy the standard version and later I buy the 200-page Apex book for 20€

      Who cares what their color scheme looks like? They’re a limited edition. It’s more about the occupation of a rare item rather than how it looks ;)

    Ok everyone, I must apologise for being the most retarded, miserable, arrogant, self-righteous, egotistical, arse that has ever posted on this site. Ihave a really bad attitude, and have nothing positive to say about anything or anyone. In fact, I hate everything, which explains why I have no friends, even my family have disowned me because all I do is complain and belittle them. All I have left is my inflatable sheep, which i’ve ragged so hard, it burst. That’s why I’m such a miserable bastard!!

      I also dribble uncontrollably and I wander round in a confused state for 23hrs a day, so if I come back later claiming that I didn’t write any of this, please ignore my comments. Will someone please be my bestest friend…please.

      I like peas I do.
