A new Chevrolet Camaro SS “Edge Special” is available in Gran Turismo 5, thanks to a promotion by Schick Razors. To download the car, stop by your local store and pick up one of Schick’s specially labeled products, then head over to this website and enter the code found in the packaging. You’ll be provided with another PSN code to enter in the PSN Store on your console.
It’s great to finally see some cross-promotion with GT5 downloadable content (“DLC”) – hopefully more is around the corner. Thanks to all of you who sent this in so quickly!
See more articles on GT5 Marketing.
This promo needs a bit of work, went to the local store to pick up a can of Schick Gel. Every can of Schick gel had a sticker on the cap stating “BONUS: DLC CONTENT FOR TOP PS3 GAMES” so grabbed a can and went home. Logged onto the website entered the UPC code and… code not vaild. Not all Schick Gel cans be used only the fancy cans with KILLZONE 3 or GT5 are valid. WHY PUT THE STICKERS REFERING TO THE DLC ON ALL THE CANS THEN?? Why not make all the Gel cans vaild then.. I mean they bothered to put the sticker on it. =/
i actuily like this camero… its ok on performance but hav kool body upgrades PS. theres a code to get it w/o buying a razor
Not impress. The least they can do is give us a racing livery rather another car with just the word GT written on it.
Id like to see Trojan Condoms do a promo like this! A Trojan Condom Gold and Black Magnum would be epic! It can be Ribbed(For Her Pleasure) and as an extra boner errrr I meant Bonus it can’t be Damaged! Don’t get me Started on My Tampax Tampon car Promo…..
THIS HOW TO GET IT FOR FREE

this car is a not a us muscle car because its hasn’t a loud and not fast and doesn’t drift easily.
so any body got this car and like is a jerk doesn’t know any thing about muscle cars.
I live in the uk. Could one of you american guys add me as a friend. I would then send you a PSN code for the camaro. If the code works, you would then send me the car. When I receive the car I would then send you a further PSN code which would allow you to also have the camaro. Would this work?
Is this a US thing or just another promo for the japanese and UK..? Because to be honest US gt5 player havent gotten jack sh*t.
The code works for Canadians too.
the car isnt really all that its just a paint job.you still have to spend money to upgrade the performance which sucks but oo well its a free car..you can change the rims and put a aero kit..heyy you guys from the UK cant cry cuz you guys get that nice black GT R and as for canadians..when you guys learn how to race the right way online then maybe they might give you free stuff
Canadians can get that DLC, as anyone with a North American copy of GT5 can.
I was going to purchase this the other day when I seen they only had1 left, but the package said “exclusively for PSP” bit it had a PS3 logo on the bottom of the package??? WTF schick?!?!? Get your marketing straight….
When I go to the site to submit my code it asks for all my information but ther eis no “Submit” button. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes the site is crap. Just hit tab until it scrolls down. Or zoom out in your browser
Haha, thanks to a friend in the US, I now have the car on my system here in the UK ^_^ shame I have to use another’s account illegitimately to get it…
Is there anything special about these DLC cars aside from the fact that they have the GT Logo on it?
Did u guys notice, all the cars left washed up by the tsunami just happened to be standard cars??? hint hint PD
Lolz u win
Not everything’s funny…
U, sir, are idiotic..
@Praggia. U, sir, are idiotic..
Going to wallgreens I will buy razor get DLC then return the razor. I use an electric.
Stop complaing and just register and account with any valid US adresse over this website
http://edgeshave.com/#!/ps3Giveaway
and use this code 841058005209 you will get a PSN Voucher Code for NA only.
This is ridiculous, and they can shove that purple mockery up their arse!
correct if I’m wrong, but isn’t the SS already in the game? Isn’t this just a paint job???
Too bad I use Gillette (with Gillette shaving cream) and electric razor. I don’t like this idea! Why not just sell a proper DLC through PSN.
I have yet to meet anyone online who can beat me in a race with a Camero in any car that I drive unless it has more BHP than my car
That’s because GT5 made the Camaros performance crap compared to other cars…. But if you wanna run add me DoggyB22
Sony Playstation and GT don’t run Promos for the UK. Subway had one for GT5 when it came out in America….WE just got a soggy Sub. That car is crap anyway, I have yet to meet anyone online who can beat me in a race with any car that I drive. UK gets nothing as far as promo’s because Sony + PD Europe are too cheap!!
I’ve downloaded the car through the redeem code on Playstation Store and it appears under the ‘update history’ on my GT5 game data file, but when i start the game it doesn’t appear. I’ve checked gift cars, the dealership, garage, everything but not appearing. I’ve redownloaded and activated three times now but no sign of the car :s
anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
It’s just an ugly paint scheme for a car we all already have!
here’s a code I got from a friend it worked for him and me multiple times 841058005209.
Enjoy :)
Awesome. Worked for me. :D
How about a car thats not already in the game?
Us Aussie dont get anything, PD please give us something?
“It’s great to finally see some cross-promotion with GT5 downloadable content (“DLC”) – hopefully more is around the corner.”
What is great exactly?
I hope this is a joke. We have to buy freaking razor to buy dlc cars!! Put DLC to PSN and charge for it so that everyone can get the DLC in the first place.
pointless
I’d get it only my wife bought a pack of schick by accident over the summer and they were the worst razors ever. Couldn’t even handle a single shave before getting dull. I am pretty easy going to but I actually nearly had a fit they were so horribly made. Plus what’s with the odd wires going across the face of the blades!? My beard would get caught in them repeatedly as I shaved.
I’m living in Brazil , i pay very expansive money in gt5 . And now i’m not have the camaro here ….., i’m very disapointed with poliphony
Back, crack and sack…
…and a free track hack.
You sir, win a free Internet!
Now, excuse me while I go buy a camaro and paint it purple…
that sucks!
why cant everybody have one?
So what are the specs of this thing? is it anything special performance wise?
If the deal was made with Gillette I would’ve done it, since I’m using the Fusion since it exists. Never seen Schick anywhere in the Netherlands..
If I recall, Schick doesn’t sell anything in the Netherlands so that probably explains why you’ve never heard of it. Have you seen any razors branded “Wilkinson Sword”? Its basically the same products without the Schick branding.
@RACECAR
Yep, I’ve used Wilkinson Quattro in the past, they were nice blades (until I found Mach3 and later Fusion).
Good to see they’re both the same, hopefully Sony will also bring this to Europe (through Wilkinson or so, and maybe use Wilkinson for a month then)..
It’s a shame they don’t package DLC with something all the people whining will actually use. Like tissues. Crybabies. It’s not $7 for a car. The car is free. You buy the product. That’s the point of a promotional offer.
I think it’s awesome that DLC is getting packaged with things as a promotion. That’s saying something for the popularity of the game and the future of the game’s DLC. Schick is doing it now, but who knows, there may be more companies offering promotions or ways to get downloadable cars in the future.
Haha I thought the same thing. It’s upside down.
I’m hoping there will be a lot of promotions in the future. Not just new cars, but also livery, wheels, photo locations etc.
ORRR…I could just paint my Camaro SS purple.
BIG WHOOP!
But can you put GT decals on it? ;)
Yeah, I heard that another company are giving away a pair of striped Schwimwagens. I’m not entirely sure, but think it might have been Speedo or something….
What a waste
What the heck is a Schick?
A SCHaving stICK…?
all you need is the UPC from the can of edge gel. no need to buy anything.
Lol, I can see small kids walking through their supermarket with a pen & paper writing down hundreds of these codes. I expect that these will be the next big thing on the marketplace
UPC code:
841058005209
@Mic Antony.It actually worked,thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The UPC worked. For you Canadians out there I just made up an address and it worked.
Haha! Sweeet! Thank you Mic Antony! Got me a “Edge Special” now! :)
Nice! Tanks Mic
Thanks Mic! I just made up an adress, the only zip i could think of was 90210!
Sorry, but thatßs not a new car. It´s the same Camaro SS we have already in the game.
Who is so stupid and pays 7$ to get it in lady-purple with an ugly GT-logo on the side?
Who´s next? Wrangler to give us a Viper in Jeans-outfit?
Explorer to give us Land Rover in Crocodile Hunter gear?
Technically, your calling everyone that got the signiture edition, Collectors edition or preordered GT5 stupid since they also got free cars (of which, only two of them actually different) with “an ugly GT-logo on the side”. Besides, $7.00 is about the average price for razors anyhow so exactly whats your point?
@RACECAR
Technically, I do so ;)
Crap! The wife just bought me new razor blades yesterday. If I’d known about this, I would’ve just had her pick me up a Schick. Oh well.
Get a divorce. She should know better! :-p
Is this avaliable in Australia??
I’m assuming since this appears to be specifically a Schick-SCEA promotion, it isn’t.
Got the code put it into my US account, loaded up my AU GT5 and I don’t get the car. I believe the code will only work if you have a US version of GT5 as well.
Phase 1. Buy Razor
Phase 2. Enter Code
Phase 3. Download Car
Phase 4. Return Razor
Phase 5. ???????
Phase 6. Profit
Good luck finding a store that’ll let you return an opened hygiene product.
I’m guessing Mike didnt get the SP reference…
Is this available in EU? I live in Norway, and I’ve never heard of Schick before this. Why can’t they just add it to PS Store?
It unfortunately appears to be a Schick/SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America)only promotion and Schick isn’t sold in Norway so unfotunately, no.
premium car?
seconded. Is it premium?
Funny thing, I went to the corner store to get some of my usual Edge shaving gel and I saw a Limited Edition GT5 canister, so I picked it up for $2.11. I logged onto GTPlanet and saw the most recent news thread and was like hmmmm, wonder what this is all about? Now I have a code to redeem a brand new, grape-colored Camaro SS when I get home from work. The strange thing is that the label mentions absolutely nothing about exclusive DLC or redeeming a promo code of any sort, rather, it just has a silver Camaro SS and logos for PS3, PSN and GT5 strewn across it.
I heard Dyson are giving away 2Js too.
I get it! Lol, even if no one else does…
What about the X2010?
Nice One. lol
Dyson decal Sponsored 2J’s and X2010.. I LIKE!
everyone not in the usa looks like they are complaining. its still a Camaro . woooo :-/
@ least You guys had the option to get all the stealth cars. I only got the McLaren
Hmmm not available in Canada (?) again!
Hmmm I suppose I’ll keep using Gillette then; idjuts!
lol
Man…guess I might have to switch from shaving with my machete and use an actual razor.
Sucks that lots of users won’t be able to get it but don’t be to bitter, it’s at least a step in the right direction. I was starting to wonder if there would be any downloadable content.
Gillette is still the best a man can get
Never met her. XD
good one Scallywag!
My neighbor’s name is Ginette, close enough?
@Lambob
If you want to get close enough to the best…
Hmmm… wish it was a better car. I’ve used that Edge shaving gel before and I don’t really like it.
Figures, spent the last three years growing my beard long enough to wrap around my head, so no need for a razor. Dog trimer mabey, but razor no. Lol
Do your testicles need a de-bearding?
Or should I say Nutz?
Now that’s just wrong…..lol
Yup, that’s right. First DLC is an American Car. Knew it.
Having said that, if I lived in the US, I’d probably get it.
Wrong, please try again.
This is not the first DLC for GT5.
Actually KDAWG, you’re wrong. You’ve apparently missed the NTSC-J Exclusive Chromeline Lamborghini LP640 from Christmas, the PAL exclusive Chromeline XJ13 and the recent Nissan GT-R only available to european GT Academy competitors.
I didn’t get a chromeline lambo for Christmas. Are you sure about that?
What happened to the news story about how the servers were down in japan after the disaster?
Was it considered distasteful or something?
Let’s just say there was a maturity issue with posts and leave it at that….
No thanks, too bad it wasn’t a an E30, I would definitely reconsider even if it was a promo for Monistat 7.
So, is this promotion available in Canada? Or do i have to go for a road trip to the states.
Also, I want a damn GT Academy GT-R dag-nabbit and my Chrome Line Jaguar. Make the DLC equal for all regions for zerg sakes.
GT Academy GT-R is simply about Golding License tests no?
@Damien
I got mine by getting all Golds on the Super License.
no not that one, the new dlc one for 2011 for GT academy Europe 2011
Only the U.S., bro (check out the Schick site).
Bugger, too, as I use Schick products.
is the product available worldwide ?? KSA ? order it online ?
Got mine!
Looks like it’s just included with men’s products. My girlfriend uses an Intuition razor (Shick), and I use a double-edge safety razor & shaving soap, so I guess we’re out of luck.
p u s s y
man up.
@Enzoduder man up and use my girlfriend’s Intuition,or use a straight razor? I don’t see how using a DE is being a p u s s y. Besides, I see from GT5Canuck’s post that I’m s.o.l. in Canada, anyway.
I just got it with the code Mic gave us(scroll down) just make up an adress. It kinda sucks Canada is run by sony America but not included. Those razors suck anyway, the gel is ok
@2smokes Thank you and Mic. 90210 makes itself useful once again!
Oh, and I compared the specs to the regular Camaro, (both 0.0km, fresh oil changes) and the Edge car has a little bit more power. 448HP & 441 ft-lb. compared to 435HP & 428 ft-lb. Everything else appears to be identical, other than the livery, of course.
That’s about what razors cost anyway and I happen to need a new one right about now. Dont compare to EA, EA has DLC ready before the game even comes out. They’re all about you buying the game twice.
Well I have a way to get it… hopefully Australian PSN doesn’t restrict the code…
How are you going to get it?
Asked a friend in the U.S. to buy a packet and give me the code?
Wow! $7 for one DLC car? Seems way more expensive than EA’s current DLC model.
You get a package of men’s razors too… is that something you need?
… not if you already need shaving cream. It would be silly to buy shaving cream just for this DLC at that price.
Are they running the same promo for Wilkinson Sword branded razors in the UK?
No, Theyre running a ‘you get F**k all’ deal instead… which sucks because I’m in the UK and I hope this isnt a tread for us UK GT5 owners…
my gosh well that doesnt sound a like a good deal at all! :(
If I recall correctly, EU already got an exclusive chrome line Jag so why are you complaining?
Two wrongs doesn’t make a right.
The UK (and the rest of eligible European counties) also got the stealth R35 GT-R for participating in GT Academy.
It’s no biggie. Think about it, the SS is already in the game. Now if it were A TOTALLY NEW CAR, say Koenigsegg Agera or Pagani Huyara (however you spell it), then by all means MAKE A BIG STINK.
I wouldn’t even use it anyway so I cba getting it
Come on. Why is it not for everybody? :( That sucks.
Really is lamentable how companies are making bussines with its games.
This will seperate the men from the boys. heh heh
LOL
That’s what I thought :D
NICE !
Simply brilliant. XD
Ha !
gotta love that.
