Sony and Polyphony Digital, both bolstered by their newfound ability to
set a final (for real!) release date for
Gran Turismo 5, have taken the initiative to reveal not one, but
two special European editions of the game. The "Signature Edition" somewhat resembles the
U.S. "Collector's Edition," and includes a fancy metal case, a miniature SLS AMG 1:43 model car, a USB flash drive, a wallet, entry into a contest to win a Mercedes Benz, vouchers for 11 DLC vehicles, a key fob, an art book, a driving strategy mini-magazine and an extravagant €179.99 price tag. (What are you going to put inside that wallet?)
If your magic, golden goose has failed to produce the fungible assets required to purchase this particular special edition, you might prefer to spring for the €79.99 "Collector's Edition," which includes a slip cover, some art cards, the DLC vouchers, and the driving magazine from the loftier edition. Think of it this way -- if you
do decide to go with this less-special special edition, then you could also say it comes with a crisp €100, which is the best bonus
ever.
