I feel sorry for the idiots who bought stealth codes on ebay :sly:
 
I can certainly understand the frustration for having "exclusive content" handed out... but, as one of the individuals who will receive the Stealth Cars, i must say i am very happy.

In North American when the game was released, i purchased the Collector Edition entirely because i wanted a copy of the APEX book (which is awesome). Now i get to add a Stealth NSX and Stealth GTR to my garage... EPIC.

All i need now is a Stealth 787B!!!
 
Some of the stealth cars were given out as pre-order bonuses in the united States anyways. I agree with Amar, the special editions are more for the exterior content than the game itself.
 
Be happy with what you have not be sad/jealous on what others will have.

Sounds like a Bible phrase, probably is. :)
 
I have the NSX and GTR as well as the SLS and am more than happy for other people to enjoy them.
 
The real life stuff of the special edition are better
 
The fact that you're freaking out because they are handing out one of the stealth codes to say sorry is just asinine. Its just the NSX stealth they are using to say sorry. The GTR is for the Academy finishing. Other then that everyone has had a fair way of getting DLC cars. Using just one to say sorry is fine. Though if they did use them all I would feel bad for people who handing over half their life savings just to have them earlier..
 
For those saying that everyone had the option to get the Sig. Ed., wouldn't there be an issue using codes from Europe on the NA PSN? From seeing the stealth car codes on eBay, I seem to recall them warning that it wouldn't work on a North American account. If that's the case, then the exclusive cars in the Sig. Ed. were not an option for everyone. With all that being said, I was happy to get my stealth McLaren F1.
 
Thread is funny, couldn't believe people up in arms over DLC being made free. Exclusivity be damned, you want exclusivity do it with your driving skill in the game. How often have you entered an online race and saw stealth cars on the grid? So exclusive no one would let you into a race if you were using one. Since their specs are beefed up over their namesakes you would have to find someone with stealth cars to drive against.

Now lets see what "new" cars PD has lined up to add to GT5.
 
Yayyy! I just got my Gtr stealth!

I'm happy as a Frenchman who's invented a pair of self-removing trousers!

As an owner of the Prestige Edition I have no problems with Stealth cars being given to "regular editions" players. It is a nice move to allow everyone enjoy the Stealths and avoid splitting the userbase.

I still find how Prestige Edition is exceptional item from reasons that are not linked to virtual content such as Stealth and Chrome cars.

Actual box, GT wallet, Apex book, SLS model, keyring, GT USB stick, special packaging. It was worth it. And I would really love that as many EU players get a chance to enjoy those benefits as US will soon be able to.

This! I mean, it's not like I bought it only for the cars.
 
I'll just go jump in my region exclusive dlc cars as a retalia- oh wait...

As a purchaser of a two Collector's Editions, I can only say, "cry me a river". I bout this version for the TANGIBLE goods, not the virtual. I am sick and damned tired of BS incentives to preorder here and get this car or preorder there and get that car. The GTPSP preorder nonsense should have taught you a lesson. I'm sorry, buying a PSP game (or GT5) from 4 or 5 retailers to acquire all of the cars is INSANITY.

Please for your own sanity, convince yourselves you bought the Signature or Collectors edition for hard goods. Signature owners are blinded by the $300 they shelled out.

ALL cars PD has created for this game should be available (free or paid) to everyone whom purchased and will purchase GT5.

This generation of gaming has turned into a massive cash grabbing cluster f[censored]k!

Adding on to that, didn't PD end up giving all of those away anyways? It's been too long for me to remember exactly, but I recall there being something given away by PD a few months later.
 
One one hand I sympathize with the OP, but on the other hand
I am snickering a bit. "Oh, premium editions of AAA game releases
are ripoffs, you don't say.....?"

Someone better inform the President.

How much utility are those preorder figurines from Generic Medievil AAA Game giving you? They probably cost a buck apiece to make, and the same with that cloth map of the gameworld.

Seriously, who buys this s***?
 
It makes me rage every time someone says something like this. America never got to have them all simultaneously, everywhere else did. Now it's evening out. To all who are complaining about the free stealths, stop.
 
I bought the CE because it was the best version available to me. If the SE (or even the Prestige Edition Amar spoke of) were here the States, I would've bought that. Why? Because Gran Turismo is "my" game. It's the game I always go back to. COD fans WOW or Starcraft fans feel the same way. They want to support the game in the biggest way available.

Yes, the GTPSP cars were eventually given to everyone as a package.

I also bought the Signature edition and frankly I don't care that they're giving some of the stealths out now. Especially as a bonus after delaying the US DLC by a week. I would care if it happened shortly after release but now after almost a year, I have no problem with it.

This, pretty much.

Besides, it's not like they're giving away free Apex books or SLS model cars or keyrings, so the specialness of the SE/CE is still somewhat there.

Exactly. People seem to be forgetting that there was more to the CE/SE than just the cars.

I am a CE owner, and I really wouldn't care if they released the McLaren F1 stealth and GameStop NASCAR car to everyone else. Honestly, I hope they do and release the other stealth cars as well. At least then me and a lot of other people will be able to own and enjoy all of the stealth cars and be closer to owning every single car there is in GT5. They are very awesome to drive, so the fact many other GT players have the same car would be far off from my mind.

And the fact that Apex book, diecast car model, and all the other bonuses are still exclusive would make me care even less.
 
What will these "exclusive" cars mean in a couple of years when GT6 is released and the GT5 server is shut down? The hard content we bought will remain what's important.
 
Exclusivity? In a game? Get over yourselves! :ouch:

I dont really care,i too bought the Sig edition,ive played it almost daily for a year now,i have my moneys worth out of it.

That's pretty much what I think. It would be shameful if the two were released to everyone 3 months after GT5 came out, but almost a year later, it isn't even bad. The special editions had items that made the cost of it higher, which clearly means the Stealth cars were just a small portion of what you paid for.
 
Incredible response from all...yap..I am enlightened in some sense..get on with the game..

Ironically, I have in my possession a completely unopened Sig. Edition cos a friend backed out having had me ordered one for him. Guess my frustration also stemmed from the fact it cost half as much just to ship it. Well...
 
What advantages to the stealth cars have over the normal cars?
