Which GT5 should i buy?

[GrumpEone]

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

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.

Less than a week ago I picked up a PS3 500GB bundled with GT5 XL, but before I bought it I looked around at prices for the game new, and GT5 XL new is going for $19.99 retail in most stores. The bundled GT5 XL came with a DLC voucher for Racing Car Pack, Car Pack 2, Course Pack, Racing Gear Pack, and Paint Pack (if you get it, don't be alarmed that your d/l history will not list the gear and paint pack even though they are added). Oh yeah and the expiration on my voucher was "valid 1/10/11 - 3/31/16".

Then I purchased the remaining DLC:
FREE - 2014 Corvette Stingray Final Prototype
FREE - Corvette C7 Test Prototype '12
FREE - Scion FR-S '12
$0.99 - Honda weider HSV-010 (SUPER GT) '11
$0.99 - Subaru BRZ S '12
$0.99 - Nissan GT-R N24 GT Academy '12
$5.00 - Twin Ring Motegi Pack (2 tracks, 3 layouts)
$3.99 - Speed Test Course Pack
$5.99 - Car Pack 3 (6 Cars)
_________________________________________
$17.95 - Total of the rest of the DLC

Car Pack 3 has some great cars:
Aston Martin V12 Vantage '10
Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 '11
Jaguar XJR-9 LM Race Car '88
MINI MINI COOPER S Countryman '11
Nissan Leaf G '11
Volkswagen Volkswagen 1200 '66

Still worth it if you ask me.

I bought gt academy edition today and while it cost me the equivalent of 30 us dollars I got all the dlcs free, I have yet to redeem them.

They also only expire in 2015

It also came with updates to v2.07 which is marvelous as I was intending to update from gt5 platinum so now there are only 4 or 5 updates I need to go through if I want to and reading through what they offer it wouldn't benfit or nor do detrement to my gaming experience as of current

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

GT5 XL EDITION it's comes with $20 of DLCs plus it's only $19.99

If there's a game stuck, tell them and they will get it for you. That's what happened for me in uk anyway.

incase anybody was wondering.
Voucher will end on 3/31/15

It looks like I was wrong then, but you know, better to be sure than not .

Dean, to be honest with you, the fact that the voucher is not a true voucher is what made me go ahead and push the button and buy the game. When I first saw "XL" I took XL to mean "complete edition" with all DLC included, but that wasn't the case so I just took the gamble either it would be expired or not. I guess I lucked out.
I posted the picture for any other budget conscious gamers who might be on the fence.
