Signature Ed. owners: now's your chance.

Sony has just announced details of how to enter the competition included in the Signature Edition of Gran Turismo 5 to win a £150,000 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, the first phase of the competition will be open from 27th December until 23.59pm on 31st January 2011.

Here's what you need to do to be in with a chance of walking away with some flash new wheels:

Step 1: Redeem the PSN Voucher Code Sign-in to your PSN Account, go to PlayStation Store and redeem the competition PSN voucher code found in the leather wallet of the Signature Edition.

Step 2: Register on gran-turismo.com Go to the website www.gran-turismo.com accept the Terms and Conditions, sign-in to your PSN Account and fill in the registration form.

Step 3: The Signature Edition Challenge Boot up your copy of Gran Turismo 5, sign-in to your PSN Account and get yourself on the Signature Edition Challenge which will be accessible from the Seasonal Events section within the game.

The competition itself will have putting your skills to the test in five races across five different courses in the B-Spec mode.

The entrant with the fastest composite time over the five courses within various regional groups will win a place in phase two, which kicks off in the Spring. That'll see you hooning around in a real-life AMG for two days in a number of challenges, with the winner bagging the supercar, pictured below.

    Signature Edition is becoming quite cheap fast.
    In the Netherlands is 69 euro @ Saturn now.
    Friend of mine got it at 179 euro @ release.....now that's a slap in tha face

    Tbh I couldn't care less if the Signature Edition went for a tenner, bought it at launch and to me is fantastic value whatever the price. Not the greatest game in the world, nor worth the 9/10's it seems to be getting everywhere but still pretty damn good.

    the less the signature editions sold the better the chance of winning!!

    That's a damn good prize. And decent odds.

    Say 500k people purchased the Signature Edition. Probably less than 5% will actually challenge the seasonal event, maybe 25k people. Out of that most won't hit the necessary aggregate times. It'll be a one in a thousand shot, but the odds are pretty damn good compared to what most prizes that involve cars, and this is one pretty expensive car.

    I'd be funny if some 14 year old that can't drive ends up winning the SLS.

    @scaramanga10

    Terms and conditions state you need a full license to enter, just like all the other GT competitions.

    B-Spec Mode?!

    "I'd be funny if some 14 year old that can't drive ends up winning the SLS."

    Won't make a difference really. I'm willing to bet that most of us wouldn't be able to afford the tax, insurance and fuel costs of such a car anyway!

    b-spec.... oh god, i don't even go anywhere near b-spec... :(

  • HistoryTeller #10 1 year ago

    Say I won it. I live in Denmark, and therefor pay an extremly large amount of tax. The 150 000 pounds would then, if I won ofcause, end being over 620 000. Ofcause I could sell it, but still. What a shame it would be.

    I thought the signature edtion was limited to a 100,000 copies?
