This is the one that many many people have been waiting for. Posted minutes ago on the playstation blog comes the mammoth Special Edition for GT5. There’s actually way to much stuff and images to go posting here but I’ll certainly try. For the full run down  along with some of the not so awesome editions of the game click here.

This game is the definition of a system seller.

The Signature Edition

This version of the game is known as the Signature Edition and the recommended retail price will be €179.99. It contains a whole host of exclusive additional content, which is listed below.

• Metal sculpted box finished in SLS AMG Obsidian Black
• Exclusive GT branded SLS AMG 1:43 model car
• GT leather wallet containing Signature Edition competition entry card
• Branded USB key with Polyphony/Mercedes-Benz trailer
• GT branded metal key fob
• Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo 5
• 200 page Apex drivers magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more

A dazzling array of content I’m sure you will agree, but what makes this very special of special editions, well…very special is a rather unique competition. Those lucky enough to get their hands on the Signature Edition (there is no question that quantities are going to be strictly limited) will be able to enter an extraordinary competition that will combine in-game and real world driving challenges.

That’s right; through a combination of meeting challenges in-game within Gran Turismo 5 and then subsequently pulling all the right moves at the AMG Signature Edition driving school, you could win what Kazunori Yamauchi himself has called the “most exciting car in the world right now”.
That’s right, by meeting challenges in-game within Gran Turismo 5, you could then subsequently be pulling all the right moves at the AMG Signature Edition driving school in Germany with a special reward at the end of the programme if you’ve got the skills.
To have a chance of getting your hands on the prize, you’re going to have to be 18 or over and hold a full driving licence. Full competition details will be made available at gran-turismo.com shortly.
The Signature Edition competition will be open to residents of the following countries;
UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
It could well be time to get saving.
