"Sony has announced a limited edition "Nike version" for their upcoming Gran Turismo 4 that will include Gran Turismo 4, a pair of Nike Shox, a Nike t-shirt, and a briefcase to store it all in. And for those who own a Sony Eye Toy will also be able to unlock a car designed by Nike by wearing the t-shirt in front of the Eye Toy's sensor. Not too shabby. The limited Nike edition will be released on December 3 in Japan for 33,600 Yen, which roughly translates to $318 in U.S. dollars. But, remember it's a limited edition and only 1,000 will be made."

Don't really see the worth with this one. For that price they could at least include the Eye Toy and a PS2.
 
Uhhh, right, if that's the only way to get that Nike car, it better not be anything great.
 
The Eyetoy thing is probably just a gimmick. I doubt PD would keep the rest of us from enjoying the car. My guess is that it's a regular prize car that's unlocked at some point in the game if you just play it. But if you're use the Eyetoy thing, you can get it from the get-go in Arcade mode (but still have to win it in Career mode). That's my guess.
 
What a sad marketing plot. :sick:

"And if signs that it was drawn on the "NIKE/GRAN TURISMO Limited Edition T-shirt" with the "EyeToy" camera are photoed, original car"NIKE ONE" will appear in a game. In addition, even if the "EyeToy" camera is not used for this "NIKE ONE", it is made to appear to also fulfill certain conditions in a game."

that better not count against 100% ..
 
who cares
we will be able to unlock it with gameshark anyways

and maybe there will be Ferrari models hidden inside the game. :p
 
too bad I don't use cheats ..
 
That is a really, really strange marketing ploy. Why would you mix cars and shoes?
 
It's just advertising/sponsorship. Why would you mix cigarettes with F1?
 
So how long do you guys think it will take for that shirt pattern to make it onto the internet? From what I gather, all you'd need to do is copy that pattern onto a black piece of cloth/cardboard/whatever and then hold it up to your Eye Toy.
 
You will still get the car. You wont get the special paint job, is all. The article says you can get the car right away with a Nike shirt and Sony Eye Toy. But, if you don' have either of them, no big deal. You can unlock the car by performing a certain task.
 
Is Nike car real car? I mean has someone build it in real life?
 
It was planned by a designer at Nike. It's called the Nike One '22 because it is a design for a 2022 model of car, built by Nike. Why you would want a car that looks like a shoe is beyond me. Why PD felt the need to include it is even further beyond me. Gran Turismo is about realism. The Nike One '22 isn't.
 
more like 2202.
 
Hey, when you buy the Pagani ZOnda, it comes with a pair of shoes... ;)

…made by the pope’s very own cobbler. Oh, don’t forget the matching hand tailored brief cases.
 
what? theyre nike shox? boooo! they should be nike racing shoes.
 
I think Kaz said that they ARE racing shoes. Then again I have no idea what "shox" are (speak English, will you?!) so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

Its a bit different since nike has actually designed a car, I haven't seen any cigarette company designed cars at the f1 yet.
 
Wonder if this thing would work....

 
im sure alot of press took pictures of the shirt, so even if that one doesnt work, im sure they can make on that works, just from all the pictures.
