Given what we know now, I'd say no. But what we know now if very little. I could change my mind depending on what we learn in the next 3 months.
Are you going to Pre-Order GT6?

I'd be a shame not to purchase GT6 on Day One (even though I was extremely displease with purchasing GT5 - as well as GT4 on Day One!)
awaiting for GT6: Anniversary Edition!

After the all the disappointments with GT5, I'm surprised it's not 60/40 or even 50/50.
It could very well be more in that direction, if not for:
GT6 wll be on PS3, so you don't have to invest in a PS4 to play it.
Forza 5 will require an investment in the new XB1 to play.
So GT6, is positioned as, a sort of economic favorite by default.
Throw in the pre order bonuses, and the improved physics from the demo, and PD still comes up 1/3 short, at least for now.
Now for a look at some other primary game realities.
Graphically, the demo failed to impress.
AI in the demo, the same.
Paint chips are apparently in. Oh boy.
What do we know about other primary game features?
Little, if anything.
I'm not surprised at 1/3 still on the fence.

I need information on what these extra liveries are and that'll be my deciding factor.

I pre ordered today. No special edition planned?

As far as anyone knows, the only special edition is the 15th Anniversary one. It technically fits the bill, even though it's not quite the same as the editions GT5 got.
Or they just don't see the point in preordering a game that there will undoubtedly be dozens of copies of in every store...

I'll be honest and just say that I got scared with a couple of things I saw in the GTA/GT6 demo, specially the graphic glitches. I don't know about you, but my experience in gaming tells me that, most of the times, these demos do represent the final quality of the game.
That's not the only reason why I'm not placing the pre-order, since I could the use the money for something else, but it sure does play a big role.
I'm most likely buying it anyway, but I rather wait for some gameplay reviews.

Not quite? Compared to the collectors edition?
Because the book is digital and not printed on paper? Because we get none of those useless cards?
Steelbook, 20 cars with altered performance and exclusive livery, apex book in virtual form. I'd say that comes more than close enough, unless you really care about those cards.
EDIT: I got told that it apparently is a misunderstanding, which is really surprising to me. Sometimes it's hard to fully understand another language...

For me the 15th anniversary edition is the same, or let's say follows the same pattern as most other special editions, including in this case the collectors edition. No, I'd not use the term "not quite" in this case. Of course is the content not exactly to 100% the same, but it's still a very normal special edition worth being seen in the same league as the collectors edition from GT5.
Again, I'd never use "not quite" in this case.
And yes I know what not quite stands for.
It's like saying that human is not quite a human like that other human. That special edition is not quite a special edition like that other special edition. Perhaps a different point of view is caused by different cultural situations, I don't know, at least I'm not sure, but it's not because I wouldn't understand "not quite".

No argue is fine, but just because I'm really curious I want to ask if it's really the case that in the english language, even if you talk about a hypernym, you always precisely take the exact detailed content to 100% and even with the slightest bit of discrepancy you use the term "not quite"? Interesting, that usually wouldn't be handled like this is the german language, unless it's a veeeeeery specific and clear case. But we never stop learning, do we?

They are no even close to the same. I really was looking forward to a hard box case, not just the normal plastic blu ray case. I can't put the anniversary edition on display I'll fall over lol.
I doubt we get a certificate of authenticity like the collectors and signature sections have. Nor a cool ass key chain, that I've protected and have hanging.
I can't really speak about the rarity of the added cars but the stealth and chromlines (I have the chromlines) have held there rarity very very well.
All of these things are what I really look for in a "special edition", the physical elements.

Not a hope in hell. The release version of GT5 was an unfinished mess, so much so that i now play Forza. Hell even Forza 3 was better than GT5. And what are PD playing at making it a PS3 release? It should be a flagship title for the PS4 launch. Forza 5 looks incredible on the Xbox One

So? Is there something wrong with GT6 being on PS3 and not PS4? Did you not read the reason why GT6 is even on the PS3? Heres an hint, it's the install base, and having two GTs on one PS console. For Forza 5, all I'm gonna say is I wish it good luck, because launch games usually struggle at launch, and so far imo, Forza 5 hasn't shown anything convincing it'll be worthwhile other than graphics, drivatar, and.. And even open-wheel.
Remember it is only my opinion, not being a fanboy or anything which some people may think I am.

Im not a fanboy either. I just think that GT6 still should be a PS4 launch title. But as usual with PD they will promise so much and deliver so little. Itl be another rushed release with multiple flaws, just like GT5 was. As i said elsewhere, GT5 has caused me to lose all faith in the series

I understand your disappointment with GT5. I wouldn't lie either that it was pretty disappointing. Sorry to hear you've lost faith in the series, no worries. However, I wouldn't really count on GT6 being half-assed like GT5 was, but instead GT6 being what GT5 should've been with lots of content added in. Like say, GT2 and GT4 you know? Heres something I want to share with you. From my experience, I heard others say that second GTs are usually always the better ones than the first, and again, are packed with content.
Whatever GT6 maybe. I assure you, it should possibly be at a "what GT5 should have been" status. I'm just waiting what else it'll have next haha. It would have been awesome to have GT6 on the PS4, and I understand that, but I don't know, I think it'll struggle. Just my opinion. :\

Here's why I think someone could be unhappy with GT6 on PS3: The devs always claim to have "maxed out" the hardware, which makes it hard to believe there's gonna be a lot of improvement. A lot of developers do that, it's common PR talk. But if you make it sound like your game is the best it can be on given hardware, it's to be expected that people will imagine that the game can't get much better until new hardware arrives.
Furthermore, releasing GT6 for the PS3 will be make it look less impressive than other racing titles due out this year, or next. It's perfectly reasonable to go for the larger install base of the PS4, but I do think that, if you're quite fond of the franchise, it'd be a bit of a downer to see other games looking superior just because of the hardware they're running on. It of course is by no means a fair comparison, nor is going to be something everyone is going to be affected by as not everyone will own the new hardware to run it on. However, if you do, it's simply that having the option to go next gen or stick with GT isn't what some people would've liked. Just my idea of what's going on, obviously.
Also, with a new GT game releasing in late 2013/early 2014, I would think that it'll be quite a while before a GT game makes its way onto the PS4. Don't get me wrong, I, for one, don't really care. There'S enough next-gen eye candy around as is and some great car related games are close to release. But if you happen to be on the fence of buying a PS4, the prospect of a new GT game within the next few years might have been enough to tip the scales. GT games have been moving consoles quite well, I should think.
And, last but not least, I'd like to point out that GT1 and, especially GT3, followed a different route than GT5 did. For GT3, PD was seemingly okay with reducing the amount of content in order to maintain a coherent, overall relative high quality. With GT, I feel that they refused to take a step back from GT4 in terms of sheer quantity. As such, the situation is different now than it was when going from GT1 to GT2 and from GT3 to GT4. Back then, PD just had to add content, as that was what was somewhat "lacking". However, I doubt that anyone has been complaining about the amount of content in and off itself with GT5. From what I can tell, the issue with that game was more that the content wasn't done to with a coherent level of quality in mind and that some of it was implemented despite being unfinished. Something that, in my opinion, PD decided against with GT3. So they likely took all the stuff they couldn't get done in time for GT3, refined them, and but them in GT4. This time around, though, they'll have to fix what's there first. Which makes it somewhat hard to compare GT5 --> GT6 to GT1 --> GT2 or GT3 --> GT4.
