I don;t think it is, not the EU version at least.

I agree aswell. As far as I know the only in-game bonuses you get are some stealth versions of cars that are already in the game (I think the only advantadge is you get them from the start?). If those extra cars were new models, then yes, I would get the CE. But otherwise, not really worth it for me.

No in-game, make believe cars, would make the CE worth the price.

In Europe Collector's Edition we will have only "Chromeline" cars. The stealth will be available in Signature edition or in pre-order.
 
I think the Apex Book/Magazine alone will be worth it. I'll gladly pay only 10 euro extra for the CE instead of getting the standard version.

The EU version sure costs alot. Roughly 180€ over here. Then again, the supplier over here gives the ability to get all 6 stealth models with the Special Edition, or choose one if you get the Collectors Edition.

pre ordered the CE a few days ago... seller confirmed me that the game will reach me latest on release date!...holiday is booked also... just need to buy enough coke (or coffee) and place a nice bit of money near the phone to call pizza taxi... LOL
"I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it..." la, la, la...
 
Also pre-ordered the CE a few days ago. Will have to wait a bit longer than most of you, since I'm living in the caribbean. Ah well, 1 week wait upon the long 5 years waiting isn't a big deal.

I hope the tuning options in the APEX book are in depth :D
 
anyone camping out for this game? midnight release maybe?
Camp out, for a game, are you serious? :rolleyes:

Picking up at midnight, fair enough, but as I have multiple copies on order, chances are I'll be playing before the official launch day anyway without making any effort at all.
 
I have ordered the CE from Amazon for £59.99 and payed an extra £2 for guaranteed release day delivery. Its all looking good for now.

WTG!

A GT5 pizza party!! yummm
 
I would go to a midnight release if my local EB had one. I pre ordered the CE just for the Apex book and I would have gotten that $300 edition for the other book if it was avalible in NA.
 
I just ordered the CE because I want the book, I'm not that excited about the paint job on the bonus cars but having these at the start is great so I can join events without having to buy cars.

Although I'm not a big fan of the SLS I got it from Amazon mainly because I want to make sure I get the game near the release date and it only cost me a buck. GS was another option but they change ~$10 S&H for regular delivery. Best Buy doesn't seem to offer the GTR on the CE just the standard game.

Any word on the 787b bonus car for the US though? I would cancel my order if I knew who would offer it, its the only one missing in the US and the one I want the most :( Its already Sept so maybe it was just left out all together which is a shame.

Same here. I only bought the CE for the book really, I think that the game anyway is worth £40 and the CE is only 20 more. About 5 pounds for the cars,
3 quid for the game art and 2 quid for the extra cover and stuff only n the book at 10 pounds a bargain in my mind since I dont have a clue on how to set up a car (go karts maybe) but not cars, and that I think will be an important part of the game to have that skill so you can tune cars better.
 
Hey guys, i want to pre-order the collectors edition (US), but im just wondering
which is better. Pre-order it on Amazon w/ release date delivery or Gamestop?

Amazon: Is it really going to arrive at my door at the second of Nov?
Gamestop: I heard there will be more cars included along with the 5 already mentioned?

EDIT: Ok, im confused... so basically, if i pre-order at Gamestop, ill get the two stealth cars? But that's with
the game only? What if i pre-order the CE, am i going to get the 2 stealth cars along with the 5 DLC ones?
(Does it also apply the same with other retailers? ie, EB, Best Buy, etc.)

Yes. CE itself is sealed and enclosed so the 5 chromeline codes probably come on a little card in the box. The stealth cars come with pre order from retailers. The few retailers that have them as bonuses have specific ones. You get them with either standard or CE versions of the game.
 
Amazon: Is it really going to arrive at my door at the second of Nov?
Is it going to rain that same day? Who knows? All you can bet on is that if Amazon have the games in stock in time, they will ship it out in time for delivery on release day. The rest is up to the postal service.

I don't know how it is over in the US, but over here we can only pre-order the CE online from two companies, and neither do any stealth pre-order promotions with it. The only way we can get the stealth cars is to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a Signature Edition, or, pre-order a standard copy from one of three places doing the promotion. Well guess what? They will be getting a LOT of people pre-ordering multiple standard copies to get a promo code mailed to them, and then cancelling the orders or sending them back.

you get different "preorder cars" depending on where you buy it. gamestop=gamestop nascar amazon=sls amg, the others i dont know. but if you preorder it at a store near you, you can get it at midnight release (if theres one)
