GT5 - Collector's Edition

[Asane]

I'm hoping for the Ultimate Edition to be announced for the US!!! That's what's been making me hold off on reserving the CE.

 

[R390GT1'97]

Had a choice when I preordered yesterday. Hopefully the CE has some cool extras with it because that was my choice.

 

[witham]

Still nothing about the UK yet

 

[opladener]

Still nothing for everyone but the US.
I guess they will give us a date at GC.

@evilneal, have you got a wheel mate, if not invest the cash in that.
If you have a wheel, then do what you thinks best.

I'm not trying to preach but if your gonna splash out and you don't own a wheel. The wheel will give you more satisfaction than a wallet.

 

[Ibonibo]

is the signature edition the same than the ultimate edition on the french amazon???

Sony where is Luxemburg? make it Eu wide. Stupid!!!

Gonna change my CE to signature E

I've already got a DFGT and wheelstand pro

I've also got £27 in Game loyalty points which I've been saving for the collectors edition so just need to decide which level of expensive stupidity I'm prepared to stretch to.

 

[Spagetti69]

Hmmm I'm playing devils advocate hear, f1 2010, TDU 2, WRC are all due out aswell.
Depends on how bad your into gt I suppose.

I might stretch to the ce.
I'm definately getting the above software too.
NFS hot pursuit too if that's your style.

Decisions decisions, lol.

Euro edition officially announced
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/08/04/gran-turismo-5-–-something-special/

 

[Ibonibo]

im gone crazy. Preordered the CE + SE. The CE is 70€ for preorders. That's the retail price of a normal game here.

I see the netherlands are in the same position as me. Left out. WTF

Collector's Edition
A highly-desirable upgrade for serious racers and motoring fans, this eye-catching edition comes with plenty of added horsepower inside its high-end collector’s box. As well as the game itself, you’ll get:

• Exclusive Special Edition inlay sleeve art
• 200+ page ‘Apex’ driver’s magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more
• Five Collector’s Edition artcards featuring exclusive artwork
• In-game ‘ChromeLine’ vehicle pack: five performance-enhanced cars ready to race
• Exclusive dynamic theme to customize your PS3 XMB

Okay I will be getting this one for sure.

 

[CoolColJ]

The US version gets the Chrome Line cars as well

[Ronin_Kurenai]

Fantastic news! Just pre-ordered the signature edition from GAME. The collector's edition isn't on there at the moment, but I'm sure it will be soon!

 

[JacoJa]

The Signature Edition competition will be open 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.

I will definitely be buying the signature edition, regardless of the price. I'm a complete GT nerd.

 

[Neenor]

WOW! Did you read about the competition with the signature edition? Win a AMG SLS!

 

[Ibonibo]

WOW! Did you read about the competition with the signature edition? Win a AMG SLS!

you need to be rich to win it. mantainance cost and legal insurance will cost like 7500€ a year at least. In some countries you need to pay fees to the state when winning....
And in switzerland it became a hate car in order to preserve the alps?!?

I just don't understand the choosing of countries: where is L, NL, lichtenstein, NIRL,...

 

[gt5pp]

You can always sell it if you couldn't afford to keep it.

 

[Jantsu92]

I think that those Special Edition cars rule out the livery editor.
Because if there would be livery editor in GT5 everybody could make those Special Edition cars themselves.

Not really. People with the Special Edition get to unlock the cars earlier in the game.

NIRL ... Northern Ireland... 👍 I should know I live there, NL... Netherlands

Personally I would sell it and get myself a 370z and a holiday

You could have said a similar thing about the special livery cars in Forza. The point of these cars besides havig a PD created livery is you get access to them from day 1 without having to earn them in game (the paint to make the same assuming livery editor is included).

Saying that I am pretty certain they will only be available in arcade and maybe online modes, not career. Same goes for the PSP transfer cars.

 

[Ibonibo]

i would keep it and sell it in 10 years...

look at the enzo price. Doubled in 3 years

if i would win the song contest i would already be happy

 

[Killa Aaron]

Well at-least we know this game can't be pushed back, now that they have released a news update on the game about the Special Edition.

 

[pervert]

Sold. I'm a GT nut the only reason I ever buy a PS is for GT

More likely to follow the SLR which almost halved it's value in 5 years.
