GT5 XL Edition

So it's been announced that this coming tuesday (the 17th) the XL editin of gt5 will be released and I was wondering, doesn anyone know whether or not our game progress will be saved if we switch discs to the xl edition?

Make a backup on a USB and transfer it across.

so that's the only way to transfer your xp and cars across? isn't it the same game just with the update and free dlc junk?

I'll hate to have bought it and have it wipe out my old GT5 save and replace it with a fresh new copy.

Firstly I bought GT5. I progressed up to level 40 A-Spec and 33 B-Spec. Then I got the signature edition which gave me a second GT5 copy. I've been using that copy ever since because the new CD merged with my old save. I dunno if it works with XL, since the XL contains updates and such. I recommend a backup first 👍

But seriously, if you already have all the updates, why buy the XL?

I once had the burnout paradise ultimate package (basically like the original burnout paraie with some dlc content added on) and i assumed that it would work with my old game save but it didn't. Had to start over.

Maybe you could just rent the game for one day when it comes out to test if it works and then buy it after that.

yeah seriously, if all it is is the 2.0 update (free) and the dlc in its current entirety ($25) then why pay over $40 with tax for it? but yeah i would be quite displeased if all my current content was washed away.
