GT PSP special editions detailed News

PSP News by Oli Welsh

10 September, 2009

Sony's PlayStation Blog has detailed two special editions of Gran Turismo PSP: a Collector's Edition of the game, and a Gran Turismo Edition PSP3000 bundle.

The Collector's Edition features an exclusive car in the form of a black Bugatti Veyron, plus five Bugatti art cards and swish silver foil effect packaging.

The console bundle, meanwhile, includes a GT-branded PSP3000, a voucher to unlock a white Corvette ZR1 on the PlayStation Network, and a leather pouch for your new handheld.

Both will appear in shops when the game launches on 1st October. There's no price for either edition as yet. Launching at the same time is the PSPgo - and early adopters of that machine will also get GT PSP for free.

Is it the car that's exclusive or just the car colour?

I hope the irony that this supposed-vapourware title is actually launching before GT5 isn't lost on anyone =)

@Bigglesworth I must've missed the memo, why do you consider GT PSP vapourware?

www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=31656, for example.

Just a bit of hyperbole. Not to worry.

Oh right I get it,my bad - game was talked about for ages, I recall how Polyphony Digital spoke of all resources being focused on GT5 and then suddenly it pops up before.

My guess, as with GT5 being brought forward Mr Sony Japan man sent the heavies around to stomp a mudhole in their asses until they agreed to get it done for this holiday season.

I was given a 'leather' pouch by a Sony rep in Manchester the weekend before last.

I advised him that I only really use my PSP when I'm travelling these days - and that they should sell and loan them (and their games) out at airports and major train stations.

@Bigglesworth - the game was promoted from early 2004, when I was 23 years old, as a launch title for the PSP. Box art and a UMD disc were shown to promote the launch of the PSP, and a 'demo' video still sits on one of my HDDs somewhere.

It's now late 2009, and I turn 30 in 7 months. I haven't bought a PSP game since early 2008 (God Of War).

The analogue nub on my PSP no longer works properly after all of the Burnout Legends and GTA sessions from somwhere around the middle and early 2nd half of the decade.

To mention that they've missed the DS shaped sales bus is a little more than an understatement.

Yeah, my 'joke' was a bit obtuse. I'm not even sure myself what point I was trying to make. Mostly it was that its pretty surprising to realise that PD haven't released a main series game since 2005, unless we count Tourist Trophy (do we?). Two port jobs in 4 years?? Pull your fingers out PD, stop arsing about with car manufacturers and bloody well release GT5!

(standard disclaimer applies: I do love the GT games)

@Bigglesworth No worries, for my part I hope PD put aside GT for a bit now and do something else, like Omega Boost HD with online scoreboards *drools* or an rpg game PD staff once mentioned in interviews a very long time ago (so long ago I forget where I read it).
