GT5 Pre-Order Bonus Round
Gran Turismo 5 is slated to hit the PS3 on November 2nd and you thought you had it easy with putting up some hard earned cash for the Standard Edition or a little more on the Collector's Edition chock full of GT5 goodness. Well if it were only that simple: the major stores out there are out to get your hard earned cash by offering bonus DLC for your GT5 garage. There is always the possibility that these cars will become available to everyone later on, but if you can't wait to get your hands on Joey Logano's NASCAR you might want to pay attention where you are pre-ordering!
GAMESTOP - Standard/Collector's Edition. DLC Extra: McLaren F1 Stealth & Joey Logano's #20 NASCAR
BEST BUY - Standard/Collector's Edition. DLC Extra: Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth
AMAZON - Standard/Collector's Edition. DLC Extra: Mercedes SLS AMG Stealth. Bonus: $1o Amazon Gift Card.
WALMART - Standard Edition. DLC Extra: Honda NSX GT500 Stealth. Bonus: $10 Walmart Gift Card.
TRU - Standard Edition. DLC Extra: ???
TARGET - Standard Editon. DLC Extra: ???
So 4 out of the 6 stealth models are being offered as pre-order DLC in America. Does that leave Target and TRU to fight over the Mazda 787B and the Audi R10 TDI? One can only hope.
GT5…Dated…Pigs Fly.
After what seemed like an eternity, Gran Turismo has finally gotten it's release date: November 2nd. Announced at Sony's Press Conference at E3 2010, this will be just in time for my birthday 
*hint hint* I'll be expecting the collector's edition pre-order which includes the game, a 1:43 scale diecast of the 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec V, a 300+ page car guide, a keychain, and 5 DLC cars with special GT livery.
Turbo’d FT-86 Debuts @ Tokyo Auto Salon
Fresh off the pages of FT86club.com: Toyota surprised the crowd at the Tokyo Auto Salon by displaying the FT-86 G's Concept powered by a turbo boxer engine paired with a 6spd MT. Not a bad looking car, but we are still looking at a year or two before a production model is released. Also of interest is that it will include "GPS-Track Day," which was co-developed with Polophony Digital. Basically, it will record you as you race around a real track in your FT-86. All that race data is placed on a memory card which you can then place into your PS3, and ta-da! your real world race data is now accessible through GT5. That's right, you can watch a virtual replay of your time at the track or take on your real world driving by racing a ghost car. Gimmicky? Maybe, but it does sound pretty cool. Coincidentally, Polophony Digital has released another GT5 trailer with the Auto Salon FT-86. Enjoy!
