Is there even a way to get the 787B stealth if we don't live in europe?

Second that - the 787B is a demanding drive, and the engine sound is the closest thing to the Elise GT1 from Gran Turismo 2 (miss that car).

I don't even care about the stealth livery and bumped performance - I'd just like to avoid grinding through hours of low-rung races before being able to afford to take my favorite GT car for a spin

Anyone with the UK 787B preorder want to attempt a trade for my Mercedes SLS (preordered from the US Amazon.com)?

 

[Stealth_SLS]

I am thinking of pre-ordering GT5 from Amazon.ca for the stunning Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model The thing I am wondering about is if the bonus is available from Amazon.ca. On amazon.com, the bonus is listed on the product page, however it is not on the Canadian site.

Amazon.com Listing Here

Thanks

The bonus is that you acquire a sense of pride for the GT series!

The amount of information here is huge. I'm considering an additional copy of GT5 to get 2 out of the 6 stealth cars available as a bonus, one standard which I'll return and the collector's which I'll keep and have already preordered. Considering these are the only two I've discovered and most likely the only ones available from mexican retailers, I'd love to have both the SLS AMG and the GT-R.

Do we know if these cars will have better performance than the non-stealth cars? Maybe they'll be lighter since they have a carbon fiber body...? Or is it just the livery?

Yes, we do.

in belgium i have already preordered this http://www.consoleshop.be/product/1...3/gran-turismo-5-collector-s-edition-ps3.html

Pre-order = Mazda 787B Stealth

 

[NOS Waster]

I'm still wondering if the United States has a retailer that will offer the 787B as a preorder bonus. I emailed Target and they told me to call them. Maybe when i feel like shooting myself. I h8 talking with Customer Service Reps. I have a $50 walmart e-gift card so i may use that to help pay for another GT5 preorder (10 bucks ftw)
Then i will see about preordering a 3rd copy if a 787B is offered from any retailer.

 

[MGS2 Snake]

All I want is that mouth-watering
NISMO GT-R Racecar.

It looks so bad-ass with
the carbon bodywork.

 

[Zuel]

Yes the GT-R is a must to have and I will get mine since I pre-ordered through Game Stop. I think if you PO through Best Buy you'll get the R8 V10 Race Car, the 787 I beleave is through Wal-Mart. I got a very good feeling that we'll be able to get the other pre-order cars later in the PSN store for a price package. Here's a good tip become a Play Station Plus member. You'll get all you DLC 50% to 75% off as well some free pending on what type of membership you get.

 

[RACECAR]

Actually, you get the Mclaren F1 GTR and the #20 Gamestop Toyota.

 

[Zuel]

Ok then what are the three other cars? From my understanding you get 5 cars from the PO.

You only get 2 cars when you pre-order through Gamestop in the U.S. The 5 you might be thinking about are the Chromeline cars that come with the CE verion of the game.

 

[Zuel]

You're saying I get two cars just for pre-ordering the game trough Game Stop and I get 5 car if i ordered the CE from Sony. So I'm actually getting 7 cars in total?

 

[Zuel]

Let me get this clear. I ordered GT5 through Game Stop so I get the Mclaren F-1 and the #20 Game Stop car. And I get 5 cars for ordering the CE from the chrome line cars. So in total I get 7 cars. Now is the Gt-R in the Chrome line? Plus with all the cars I've got in the PSP version of GT5. Man I'm going to have a load of cars before I even hit the tracks. GREAT!!!!

In a sense yes. The chromeline cars are packaged within the CE . So you actually have to buy the game and open it to get them . The GT-R is not one of the chromeline cars. The pre-order cars, Mclared and #20, come no matter which version you order CE or standard in doesn't matter.

Was just thinking... Could we not just pre-order from different places, redeem the codes and then return the games for a refund, keeping one of them?

No to get the code you must open the pack and once you do that it's yours.

You can do it with the pre-order cars only not the chromeline . The pre order car codes will be printed on the receipt or emailed to you depending on where you get ordered from . So when you get the codes you redeem them and then return the game .

That may be true but aren't the codes linked to the receipt number as well. If so they'll be able to see if you used the codes. If I remember it was like that before when I got game from Game Stop that came with a redeem code.

 

[SleazyBig slim]

Do you guys think these preorder bonus cars will all be available for download later? If not then I need to research who has the preorder car I may enjoy the most.

I have absolutely no clue . I did it with Halo Reach to get that really stupid chest piece . They didn't give me any problems when returning it . If they can check then the ones at my Gamestop didn't care.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you return these games (after using the codes) to a retailer that does not require receipts for returns? i.e. Wal-Mart?

 

[Coxis]

Do we know if these stealth cars will have better performance than the non-stealth cars? Maybe they'll be lighter since they have a carbon fiber body...? Or is it just the livery?

I read that they will have an extra 50hp. But that was from one of the retail sites, so take it as you will.

I've seen people talking about it, but isn't that fraud if you buy from EB and return it to Wal-mart as a new game?

You already asked that question.

Quite true, however, Wal-mart will then turn around and add it to their stock and get their money back anyway... just saying, it's an option.
