Gran Turismo fancy editions announced

The much awaited Gran Turismo 5 gets both a Collector's Edition and a fancy Signature Edition.

Well, racing isn't really our thing here at Atomic - unless it's Wipeout, in which case we are ALL over that shiznit - but we know a lot of you live and breath the Gran Turismo series. So, if that describes your level of desperation for the upcoming fifth iteration of the game, you're going to love what's coming in the Collector's Edition.

On top of the standard... well, Standard Edition, there's the Collector's Edition, and the even shinier Signature Edition. Here's what you get in the last two...

Collector's Edition
A highly-desirable upgrade for serious racers and motoring fans, this eye-catching edition comes with plenty of added horsepower inside its high-end collector's box. As well as the game itself, you'll get:

• Exclusive Special Edition inlay sleeve art
• 200+ page 'Apex' driver's magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more
• Five Collector's Edition artcards featuring exclusive artwork
• In-game 'ChromeLine' vehicle pack: five performance-enhanced cars ready to race
• Exclusive dynamic theme to customize your PS3 XMB

Signature Edition
Reminiscent of a no-expense-spared supercar launch, this luxury edition puts the pedal to the metal as soon as you open its contoured steel case - which is finished in Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 'Obsidian Black'. As well as the game, the 'Apex' driver's magazine and the ChromeLine car pack, you'll get:

• An exclusive, branded Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 1:43 scale model car
• A Gran Turismo leather wallet and metal Gran Turismo key fob
• A Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo
• A bespoke Gran Turismo 5 USB key with a trailer showing the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Polyphony that brought the SLS AMG to screen
• Six additional in-game 'Stealth' cars including the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and a dynamic theme
• For those 18 or over and a resident of Australia, the chance to win a real-life Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG - your very own gull-winged, 6.3-litre-engined supercar - in a competition like no other! Full terms and conditions will be made available at www.gran-turismo.com

Shiny. The game will be available exclusively on PS3 this November.
