Gran Turismo 5 XL Featured for $10 in “Black Friday” Sales

Gran Turismo 5 November 19th, 2012 by Jordan

Two of the largest retailers in the United States will be selling Gran Turismo 5: XL Edition for just $10.00 in their “Black Friday” sales, which kick off the holiday shopping season.

Walmart has featured the game in their Black Friday mail ad along with over 25 other popular titles at that price point. The deal will apparently begin on Thursday (see your local store ad for details); the price will be for in-store purchases only.

Amazon is also getting in on the action, featuring GT5 XL in their Black Friday Lightning Deals. The game will be sold at that price point on Thursday, November 22, between 5:10-9:10pm PST or while supplies last.

Considering that XL Edition includes a $20 PlayStation Store voucher, these deals offer a significant value at $10, even for those who may already own a copy of the game but are looking to purchase the additional DLC which is available.

If you decide to take advantage of these deals, thanks for helping out GTPlanet by purchasing the games via the affiliate links above.

    i picked it up last night at Walmart for $10, but i already had all the DLC, so i guess that i bought it for nothing?

    Fought through the crowds tonight to pick up my back-up copy. Also ended up with Most Wanted and FIFA for $25 each. It was a good day.

    Did anyone actually get one at amazon? I waited for the count down timer to end, then refreshed the screen for about 30 seconds till the price changed to $10 and they were all sold out, and the wait list was at +500. 30 seconds, So they maybe had what, 20 to sell?

      Actually its wasn’t even 30 seconds, they sold out in the time between my screen refreshing. So maybe 3 seconds.

    It’s about time (old) PS3 games were reasonably priced.

    Great deal if you don’t already have the DLC. The disc would also be handy for re-installs since it has updates through spec 2.0 on the disc.

    The XL version includes a “Voucher good for over $20 worth of DLC content, including the Racing Car Pack, Car Pack 2, Course Pack, Racing Gear Pack, and Paint Pack.”

      I don’t have a PS3 or the Game, so yes its of value. I never understood how people already with the game complain about value when not everybody has brought GT5 that wants one. I don’t even know if I am getting a PS3 finally, I don’t want the Super Slim, its hard to find a working Xbox 360 or PS3 for double store credit via Gamestop.

      Sorry but I don’t wanna pay $199 for a Holiday Bundle of games I don’t want + pay the exact trade-in value to get a used working 360 off somebody.

    dojOdRiFTeR do you have any proof that “no one plays flopza”?

    Just curious.

      and does TomBrady have proof that the PS3 version will differ physics-wise from the PC Version?

      I’d say people are worse other times. It isn’t so bad with this, but still.

      Ok…ok…here goes!….

      Is this hinting at more DLC?!

      Just thought I’d pop that one in – complete the package. : )

    Guys, chill out. This is a ONE DAY SALE. Not GT5′s permanently new selling price. More so, it’s most likely a marketing ploy to get people in the store so that they can spend money on other deals. Just be mindful, people have died on Black Friday for ridiculous deals such as these. Take it easy out there GTP.

    GT5 is getting old really fast
    Project cars will be the next big thing

      TomBrady

      LOL You’re hilarious. Have you even played pCars? Not to mention, they’ve already hinted at the fact that the ps3 version won’t be the same as the PC version physics wise, which is a really bad sign considering their other console titles. Even if pCars hit it’s full potential on PS3 it will never overtake GT5, be realistic instead of buying the hype

      Yeah on PS4!

      I have project cars on PC, although it’s Beta, I do not believe that the physics will be as good as GT5, despite all GT’s shortcomings it’s still better than P Cars.. maybe it’s the online factor or maybe because P cars isn’t finished.. but GT6 will be out soon after anyway!

      Yeah, Tom, I don’t know where you heard that tripe about the physics but it’s flat out wrong.

      Also, pCARS is not in Beta, it’s in Pre-Alpha.

      pCars is hyped up beyond belief. I fell for it, and bought it for PC a couple weeks ago.

      I wasted my money..

      The physics are horrible. The force feedback is absolutely useless on my Fanatec CSR, very very poor force feedback. I tried all these different settings for hours, and it just sucks. WRC3 has better FF (WRC3 FF is screwed up btw).

      The game surprisingly doesn’t even look that good, I have a GTX 670 and the antialiasing is all screwed up and I cannot get rid of jaggies even at 16x qcaa.. Just a horrible game at this point in time and hopefully it all gets fixed before release so at least I wouldn’t have wasted the money I already spent.

      But yeah GT5 is old and tired, and Kaz won’t even fix basic problem. Even when GT(x) comes out on the PS4, I still won’t be buying that either because Kaz doesn’t know how to make a decent game anymore.. I think he’s clinically delusional after seeing that interview posted here on GTP a couple weeks ago.. He just doesn’t care about GT5 fans, so I don’t care about GT anymore.. I am sure the next GT will be the worst selling GT ever, and probably the worst GT ever, no matter how good it looks.

      P cars sucks every time a new build comes out I get excited, but then I’m angered by how bad it is. RFactor 2 baby!!!

      Terronium-12

      BWX, couple of things:

      1. No such thing as QCAA.
      2. While the criticism of FFB (given your choice of wheel) is sound, wouldn’t it be more productive to relay that feedback on the WMD forum as opposed to here, where they’ll never take notice of it?
      3. The physics are horrible? Okay, but you do realize the current state of the game is pre-alpha, do you not? And let us not forget a new tire model has just been implemented into the game completely superseded the previous BTM.
      4. You cannot get rid of jagged edges? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that problem.

      Really fast? I didn’t know that a game which is still popular after 2 years is getting old “fast”.

    I went and bought GT5 Academy Edition for £15 (Amazon) to get the $20 DLC….

    *starting to pull hair out*!!

    I think it’s funny how some people (on here) actually thought they’re paying $10 to get a $20 PSN voucher (to use on whatever). XD
    It Is a seriously amazing deal though.

      BTW I should stress I bought Academy Ed. like a week ago. : )
      You’d have to be a TopGear – X2010 – Free run driver to pay that for it after reading this. XP
