GT5 Pre-Order Bonuses?

[2JZFAN]

Best buy has the STEALTH GT500 GT-R.
Wal mart has the GT500 NSX I believe.

Ok but where does it say that, I know the PS Euro blog posted directly to them.. but who confirmed this information. Can someone provide a link? I'm pretty good at teh'ol Google but I can't find anything solid from Best Buy.

I guess they ran out of the bonus cars. Amazon no longer gives the stealth car with the collector's edition.
People who ordered from those stores confirmed that information.

Well I ordered mine online mid last month and never heard anything about it.. Not to play 1k questions but I wonder how this is going to work out.

Where did you order?
They'll send you an email around the release date with a PSN code which will unlock the car.

Best Buy, what concerns me is I've never gotten any confirmation and the site doesn't specifically say anything about it. We're getting close to crunch time and I want to make sure I don't need to go into the store and re pre-order it.

Edit* Google search now shows this, click on either REG or CE and it doesn't say a thing.

I preordered the collectors edition from gamestop in August and I understood that I would get a model, a book, and 4 bonus cars. Are these bonus cars your referring to additional from gamestop just for preordering?

I got a bonus poster when I paid for the pre-order racing pack (with PS3)

And it looks like this:

Any idea how these bonuses are going to work in-game?

I mean, it seems a little unfair for me to start off at Level 1 with a McLaren F1, ya know? (I pre-ordered at GS) I'd stomp my way through 2/3 of the game before anything could even think of challenging me.

arseneH ~ Be careful with the 'slotted' edges of the poster. One of the corners on mine tore.

Use self control, I'm not even downloading my Mclaren until I get to the point in the game where I actually need it.

Mediamarkt and Saturn have steelbook case and McLaren F1 Stealth

The steelbook case.

When did you order? When I placed the pre order at best buy, when you searched for GRAN TURISMO 5 there was a picture and memo of the GT500 GT-R taking up half the page above the different versions of the game.
Looking at the receipt of my order, it mentions nothing about the pre order bonus either.

Give us more cars!! But seriously, I don't care much about pre-order bonuses. I'd prefer to see some post-order DLC options, though it sounds like Kaz is not too keen on it.

Races have different requirements so for example one early race might require street tires. A McLaren F1 will have sports or racing tires standard making you unable to enter the race with it since the that tire type is not allowed. That's just an example of how it could work though so I could be wrong.

Kaz might not be, but SONY definitely will be. Releasing just one car pack will result in hundreds of thousands in easy profit, so expect to see quite a lot of it over the years between launch and GT6.

Don't use it for simple races. Also, races and championships in career mode SHOULD have restrictions on what can be entered.

Hmm, my order was placed on the 16th of september. I'm positive the GT-R was there when you placed your order.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to follow up, and confirm. I had already sent BB an e-mail so I'll see where that gets me.. I'm not broke up about it, it was just bothering me because I couldn't remember. You definitely helped put my mind at ease. 👍

Does anyone know where I could pre order to get the McLaren F1? I'm in England

 

[allent2]

I just preorderd though amazon, but during the check-out screen it said that my "ship-out" date would be Nov 26. why when the game is released on the 24th. does anyone know how this is supost to work or when my game might show up? I though amazon was pretty good about same day delivery.

 

[illini837]

Hey, is anyone willing to trade their stealth Nissan GT-R for my stealth SLS? I pre-ordered off of Amazon and I don't really like Mercs. Feel free to private message me through GTP.

Thanks

For that beast of a car, you need to order from Amazon:

Did you choose free delivery or pay extra for first class/next day? Now, in the past I've pre-ordered from Amazon with free delivery and still got the game on launch day because they don't want stock sat around. However, there is no guarantee they will dispatch in time for launch day unless you pay extra.

I pre-ordered my copy of GT5 yesterday at Best Buy. Was a bit worried if my Best Buy didn't have the GT500 offer, but fortunately, it is still there! I got a box (which was the pre-order, mind you) and I hear something moving in there. Wonder what it is...

 

[drago6817]

Is there ANYWHERE in the united states you can get the 787b?

 

[psyco-joe]

I don't think there is a place in the U.S. to get a 787B. I have been looking for it in the U.S for months but couldn't find nothing. It seems it is only available in Europe and Australia, maybe Japan as well.

 

[2JZFAN]

It would have to be Target..

GameStop
McLaren F1 & Nascar #20 GameStop Toyota Camry

Best Buy
Nissan GT-R GT500

Amazon
Mercedes-Benz SLS

Walmart
Honda NSX GT500

Target
??? Mazda 787B ???

Personally I don't think PD, Sony, or any of the retailers did a good job advertising the pre-oder bonuses IMO.

Thanks guys.


no collectors edition I see :/
