I'm confident that this has been asked before, but I'm just about to sleep and I really don't want to flip pages.

I just preordered GT5 from Best Buy, here in Canada. What would be the preorder bonuses? I don't even know if preorders in Canada have preorder bonuses.
 
I am excited, I get the McLaren F1, the stupid Nascar car, and the 5 Chrome version cars that are exclusive to the collectors edition! :D

Though, I would trade the F1 for the 787B any day as it's one of my favorite GT4 cars..
 
I will get the standard edition for half the price when i give one of my old games in return. However, there are som restrictions of what games I can give them but I found one that I can live without.

So, if you are in Sweden go to a Game store and you will get the same offer.

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

My retailer had it up for a while, limited stealth car with pre-orders, it has gone since quite some time, I guess they ran over their limit.

Would really want to see it when it arrives.
 
There is no pre-order bonus at shopto.net

shopto hardly ever have damn pre-order bonuses. They do have the best prices though so I suppose it's all relevant.
 
For those who pre ordered at Gamestop or Wallmart, did you guys get the bonus code after you pre ordered it or are you going to get it once you pick up the game?? i pre ordered mine at Best Buy but I was also gona do it at gamestop and wallmart for the codes and then just cancel the pre order later on.

I pre ordered at Gamestop and the code is given when I pick it up.
 
BB told be that you can't cancel the pre-orders and get the codes, but I am not sure, I am an employee, maybe normal folks can get away with that, I wouldn't try it.
The collectors edition box is smaller for the people in the US, I just looked at one in the back of the store, apparently they came in on Wedsneday nights truck.
***I did notice that the prima track guide is available for purchase earlier on Monday the 22nd of November, so if someone needs something early they can pick it up for around 15 dollars.***
No I am no selling, I just will buy that because I can get a head start on things for Wednesday morning.

so you're saying that if I cancel my pre order at Best Buy, the code will be voided? I read the back of the voucher and it didn't say anything about activation through register. It only says when the voucher expires

I am pretty sure you will be able to keep it as most people wouldn't look for that on the return, I have no idea how things will go. I assume you should be okay. Opened games can't be returned, but you can sell them back...... its a media rule.

Yes in my opinion I wish I could get all the pre-order cars all over the world... but I am sure that won't happen...

good luck... I am just glad I can choose the mazda 787b stealth edition.. 👍

I already have the voucher though. Im talking about canceling the pre-order before release, if that will void the voucher. How did you get your hands on the Mazda 787b, I've been trying to hunt that one down
 
I dont think amazon has an actual preorder bonus, at least ive yet to see any mention of that on their site. I preordered through them, I havent heard anything about a preorder bonus.
 
maybe someone here can answer, is the CE excluded from these stealth bonuses? I preorder from BB and emailed to ask but they didn't bother to reply back. Amazon did confirm its SLS is only for the standard version.
 
I have asked numerous people at BB and they have all told me that the stealth GTR does come with the CE also. I even called the 800# last week and the girl told me that it showed i get dl code at pickup. I wish I could get my hands on that 787b though, that thing is sweet.

I preordered from EBgames and im getting the Nascar and Mclaren F1
 
Whoa that's good to hear, I talked to someone too and they didn't have a clue. So now I'll be asking for the code at pickup for sure. Does your order still says 12/31 release date? The site is updated but my order hasn't.

As far as they told me that, you get the nissan GT-R Super GT car (like the model that comes in the Best Buy collectors edition) "and" the choice of one of the other 7 black cars they show on the order list.
I know for sure one of them is a stealth 787b so I will choose that one when I get it.
I will look again tomorrow, I am positive I saw that on the back of the game "that was sitting in the waiting to be released section" in the warehouse part of the store.

It depends when you pre-ordered. If you did it between june and late september, you were guaranteed the bonuses with every version. Things have recently changed.

From Gamestops website:

"Online Customers: A code and instructions on how to redeem your exclusive in-game cars will be emailed when the game releases.

Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: A code and instructions on how to redeem your exclusive in-game cars will be printed on your receipt at time of purchase."
 
Sorry if this sounds a bit off topic. But does anyone know which port that the Gran Turismo 5 copies are gonna be shipped to in Canada?

... and games are not returnable, btw. So, I don't think you can get all the bonus cars unless you pre-order and actually buy the game from each of the retailers. I pre-ordered from Best Buy, and I'm hoping with the 5 DLC credits I can get the other stealth models. Otherwise eh, no biggie. There -are- 1,000 other cars right?
