Hi everyone, just found this on the Official PS Website and thought some might be interested.
For those that can't be bothered to use the link synopsis as follows:
To celebrate 4th year of collab of GT 5 and Nissan through the Academy; New Packaging; Complete DLC Pack (Cars, Tracks, Paints, Suits); Car Packs 2 & 3 and Track Pack 2; The Nissan GTR driven in this year’s Nurburgring 24 hour race by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
Price £19-99 or €29-99
Personally I won't get it as I'll be paying £19-99 for one car (please let it [the 24hr car] become a DLC), but considering all the contents for those that don't have it looks a good deal.

People are buying the newer releases in case of when they have to re-install.
All of the updates and content are there - waiting to be installed, rather than you waiting while you go through all of the updates.

That's a very fair point Mastr, it's just for me personally, I have bought every DLC, I have a great Broadband connection so the updates aren't a major problem, so I would effectively be paying £19-99 for Kazunori-san's 24Hr GTR, hence why I hope it will be on DLC.
That being said I wasn't sure how many people knew this as in the pipeline for the very near future, hence why I thought people might be interested in knowing about the Academy Edition.
