My latest acquisition...

[Famine]

That'll be a limited edition (4000) GT4 launch day press pack, with game disc, demo disc, certificate of authenticity, 2005 desktop race events calender, GT4 passport holder (containing two photomode pics on photo quality paper), a GT4 T-shirt (unfortunately one of those designed to fit SO tight that any man wearing it looks gay) and a very heavy book containing the history of Gran Turismo and many, many pictures.


Oh, and it's number 555. Result!


Come on - you KNOW you want to BE me.

 

[Eric.]

Nice! How much did that set you back?

 

[Sage]

And here's little ol' loser me who didn't even know such a thing existed.

You should've gotten 666 – that would make for some fun in the Opinions board.

I do want the book though (Wikipedia's article is a bit lacking).

 

[daan]

Where's the jealous smiley?

 

[Famine]

Nice! How much did that set you back?

No more than a copy of the book, a copy of the game and a T-Shirt put together. Probably marginally less, actually.

At the moment I have...

GT1 NTSC/J
GT1 PAL
GT2 NTSC/J
GT2 PAL
GT2 NTSC/U/C
GT3 NTSC/J
GT3 PAL
GTC 2001 NTSC/J
GTC 2002 PAL
GTC 2002 Press Launch Version
GT4P PAL
GT4 NTSC/J
GT4 PAL
GT4 Press Launch Version


... in my collection. There's a few bits to collect - daan's got a BMW demo I never got my hands on. I want the Toyota demo. I need an NTSC/U/C GT1 and an NTSC/J GT4P (possibly also a GTC2002). The varying versions of GT4 are too expensive currently.

 

[jammyozzy]

Your right, I do want to be you. :| Where'd you get that from?

 

[F1GTR]

EDIT:too late

 

[Teh_Loserer]

I hate you Famine, you lucky bastard.
Good find, man. 👍

 

[JParker]

Where's the jealous smiley?

I second that motion. That's awesome Famine.

 

[Famine]

A small sample of the book...

 

[ALPHA]

Those are only supposed to be available to the press, you must've been hard pressed to find that on eBay.

I bet you don't have an ultra rare GT4 sticker!

You’re also in need of the GT4 Japanese demo and booklet that came with some magazine, and all the GT4P releases got the Korean one? You’ll also probably want one of the really early GT4 demos with the Prius (I'm not talking about the US one!), Race Idiot I think had it, albeit probably not an original copy. Mneh.

This isn't the package that was selling on ebay just a little while ago was it?

 

[KTP]

I may be willing to sell my BMW test drive for the right price.

 

[Famine]

Free? After all, it WAS free...

That said, so was the Press box, technically...

Sticker AND keyring...

!

Newh, I've been kindly donated a GT4 Special Preview Book and a GT4 BMW Series 1 Virtual Drive Demo from certain GTP members. Those items are enough for me at the moment but I have spotted one of these limited edition sets for sale here, going for a very cheap amount too!

 

[hispeed]

Saw that one e-Bay the other day. Would love to see you in that gay-tight t-shirt; put it in your avatar! That woud be so gay (gay=fun (It is, look it up)).

 

[boombexus]

a GT4 T-shirt (unfortunately one of those designed to fit SO tight that any man wearing it looks gay)

Now be honest, you're wearing it right now arent you.

Grab it if you can. It should be worth quite a bit (eventually). What number?

The auction doesn't say .

Ooh, look what I found.

 

[Famine]

How alarmingly gay...

(I estimate 4 minutes before that becomes an avatar)

 

[superhodge]

*Right click, save as*
Twas a joke incase people get the wrong idea

 

[hispeed]

Yeah , go for it. It's now or never!

EDIT: btw that was very enlightening superhodge!!!

 

[DRIVEN -USA-]

Nice find and collection you gots there 👍 👍

 

[superhodge]

I saw a Japanese one where if you take a picture of your t-shirt with a eye-toy you unlock the nike car. Oh and you also get a exclusive pair of nike trainers and there where only 1,000 made.
Next on yer list Famine?
