“Two Collector’s Editions” Planned for Gran Turismo 5?
The Gran Turismo 5 Collector’s Edition was announced at E3, but now it seems that may not be the only special version of the game Sony has plans for. Speaking in an interview with IVG, head of Sony Computer Entertainment India Atindriya Bose clearly discloses that there are “two collector’s editions” in the works:
For GT5, there are two collector’s editions. One is the game plus some added content and collectibles, which (has already been announced), while the other is in a really big package with a lot of paraphernalia that goes beyond the game. It’s all car-related, but I’m unaware of the exact contents. That being so expensive, we may not directly order it from Europe, but we could bring in limited quantities from Sony in the Middle East. We’ll also be working with Mercedes in some way around the GT5 launch, but we’re yet to decide the specifics of that.
Product listings at Amazon.fr support his statements, including both the “standard” Collector’s Edition for €99.00 and a more mysterious “Gran Turismo 5 – édition ultime” listed at €189.95. Hopefully details for the “ultimate edition” will be finalized in time for the next round of GT5 revelations at Germany’s Gamescom next month…

Hey, Jordan do you know if this head of Sony India spoke this in English or was it spoken in another language? Just wanted to know if there was the possibility of something being lost in the translation.
And, do you have any word of this Ultimate Edition coming to the US?
Thanks!

Hhhmmmm that is alot of cash to throw down for extras … ill definitely get it if it offers extra content, but I will definitely not get it if its just more key rings and model cars.

i do believe its about time that ALL information was released about gt5. we have had the release date, and a dribbling of info.
im sure people who are not massive followers of the gt series will be looking and seeing what is available on it and are none the wiser,a bit like us to be honest!
All this 20 track/location – premium/standard – cockpit/non cockpit stuff needs to be clarified.

July 5th, 2010 at 2:22 am
just as i suspected,i think there is gonna be a version with alot more premium cars …Kaz was just waiting to see the reaction of us fanatics to the standard model stuff ..but this version will probably cost alot more…and also waste alot of memory and probably be in more than one disc…maybe like forza if you want certain cars u have to install the second disc…(BEFORE YOU COMENNT ON MY COMMENT MAKE SURE TO KNOW THAT IM ONLY MAKING ASSUMPTIONS SO PLEASE DO GO SAYING TO PROVE IT OR SPREADING RUMORS,THANK U)

As much as I want GT5, 99 dollars is my limit for a videogame..
living within a budget suuucks. 
From the sound of it I have a feeling this deluxe will be some combination of the GT5 collectors edition plus a Logitech wheel or something like that.

hmmm just a copy of the game would be nice… I can buy model cars in the shop… but if the ultimate editon has something that gets the wind up my skirt I may take the plunge.
