Which GT5 should i buy?

[DSUjoeDirte9]

not sure were the best place to ask this is... but my gt5 is stuck in my ps3 and heading back to sony. So chances are i wont get it back. So ill likely have to buy a new game.

But which GT5 should i buy because if iremember right theres like 4 different versions isnt there.

Just which 1 is the most up to date or best.

-I have no DLC's what so ever but i do want some of them

Academy Edition.

Academy Edition.

This or at least get XL so you can have the first batch of dlc and update 2.0 on the disk.

XL doesn't exist in the EU. His only choices are the original, the platinum version or the Academy Edition.

 

[DSUjoeDirte9]

my location is wrong... which i need to fix... im actually in the USA

 

[Dean]

Then, XL should be your choice - if there's no US Academy Edition.

 

[DSUjoeDirte9]

Whats the price of the XL Edition? Also im sure they do but would gamestop have this edition of the game < - dumb question but still.

EDIT: Used Version price is wut im looking for....

Im already paying like $240 to get my Ps3 and set up back up and going. Plus like $60 worth of missed DLC i gotta buy

~$20 USD, on Amazon. And, the US does not have the Academy Edition, as it was only released in Europe. And yes, GameStop will have it.

Everything up to the car pack with the Lamborghini I think. Also, buy new on amazon, because the DLC is a redeem code, and buying used will not have that paper 99% of the time.

Wrong. $60+

 

[DSUjoeDirte9]

O.o my amazon says Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition

New $15
Used $10

Thats the lowest deal on the page. The highest Xl edition on page is $19 new.....

Go for the cheapest NEW. I never trust used products on amazon.

I bought the XL new from gamestop for $19.99 less than a month ago
And they were trying to get $17.99 for a used original

If I'm not mistaken I believe the vouchers for the DLC in XL are now expired or very close to expiring. I just got GT5 back in November as a birthday present for myself.

Just checked the voucher for the DLC that came with my package and it was valid from March 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. So the voucher is now worthless unless there was some sort of an extension which I doubt.

I think you are right!! I got it in the beginning of March and i think it said March 31 2013 as well. I remember we didn't have long to use the voucher. But i think all the DLC can still be bought.

 

[DSUjoeDirte9]

darn that sucks. Well i havent bought the game yet so i have nothing to regret yet.

Guess ill just get a used GT5 if thats the case.

 

[Dean]

If the voucher's running out, that might be a good idea.

 

[xxkristi87xx]

Yeah, i still have my voucher in my game case and it says it expired March 31, 2013.
Which is a bummer. But if your going to gamestop anyways, it's only $2 more to get a new copy.

 

[Atarwii]

Any Updates, I want GT5 and somebody on Amazon says the voucher expires in 2015.

 

[Dean]

The person is most likely lying, as most codes expired in the start of 2013, as stated earlier in this thread 👍.

 

[Atarwii]

Thanks Dean

Either way the XL edition will be better given it puts you at 2.0 from the get go so you don't have to go through 12 hours of downloads(exaggeration but you get the point).

 

[Kart196]

That is odd because I just checked mine and it expires December 31,2014. I bought it in Canada new for $40....

 

[Olegonic]

Hold on, sir. It will be a time to buy GT6 soon.

 

[Atarwii]

I'm on a budget and can't exactly afford to drop $60 (and extras for DLC) once the fall rolls around. GT5 (XL or otherwise) is a huge package and getting it (even without the voucher) below $20 is a great deal but depending on how I feel about the demo that will drop in July, I may pre-order GT6.

 

[Atarwii]

Others on amazon are saying that the expired codes are still working.

Don't listen to them! It's better to be safe than sorry in this situation for sure! There's a really good chance that they're lying about many of these codes as most truly have expired and there's no way around that.

EDIT: This mostly applies to older vouchers like the chromeline cars etc. The newer GT5 voucher codes are probably still able to work.
