The world's slickest driving game for PlayStation 3 to hit stores this November as a Standard Edition, a fully-loaded Collector's Edition and a luxury, accessory-packed Signature Edition.

Sony Computer Entertainment and Polyphony Digital have announced three different editions of the forthcoming Gran Turismo® 5 for PlayStation®3, offering racing fans more options than ever for immersing themselves in the drive of a lifetime. The eagerly-awaited game is scheduled to arrive this November, and here's what to look out for on the starting grid.

Standard Edition:

More than a thousand cars, a global community of racers, the world's most iconic racetracks and the drive of a lifetime - that's Gran Turismo 5.

Experience astounding realism, pulse-raising physics, high-speed thrills and a full tank of international motoring glamour as you race against friends at home or online against champions from around the world, and build yourself a stable of the finest cars ever to have graced the tarmac anywhere.

One of the world's best-selling driving games is back, packed with new features, new rides and new experiences that'll take your life into the fast lane like never before.

Collector's Edition:

A highly-desirable upgrade for serious racers and motoring fans, this eye-catching edition comes with plenty of added horsepower inside its high-end collector's box. As well as the game itself, you'll get:

• Exclusive Special Edition inlay sleeve art
• 200+ page Apex driver's magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more
• Five Collector's Edition artcards featuring exclusive artwork
• In-game ChromeLine vehicle pack: five performance-enhanced cars ready to race
• Exclusive dynamic theme to customise your PS3™ XMB™ (XrossMediaBar)

Signature Edition:

Reminiscent of a no-expense-spared supercar launch, this luxury edition puts the pedal to the metal as soon as you open its contoured steel case, which is finished in Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Obsidian Black. As well as the game, the Apex driver's magazine and the ChromeLine car pack, you'll get:

• An exclusive, branded Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 1:43 scale model car
• A Gran Turismo leather wallet and metal Gran Turismo key fob 
• A Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo 
• A bespoke Gran Turismo 5 USB key with a trailer showing the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Polyphony that brought the SLS AMG to screen
• Six additional in-game Stealth cars including the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and a dynamic theme
• For those 18 or over and resident in a participating country, the chance to win a real-life Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG - your very own gull-winged, 6.3-litre-engined supercar, in a competition like no other! Full terms and conditions will be made available at www.gran-turismo.com.

If that doesn't whet your appetite enough, an additional six in-game ‘Stealth’ cars will be made available, which include:

• Audi R10 TDI Stealth Model
• Honda NSX GT500 Stealth Model
• Mazda 787B Stealth Model
• McLaren F1 Stealth Model
• Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model
• Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth Model

Further details on how you can redeem these additional in-game cars to add to your GT5 vehicle collection will be confirmed at a later date, so watch this space Australia!

SE for me. Just changed my pre-order at EB from the so called CE.

With the chrome line cars & stealth cars, thats 11 cars. Looks like I dont have to waste 30000 credits on a madza rx8 to start career mode :P

just played a bit of gt on psp last night, i've got 5 dlc cars plus a bunky and about 2.5 million in credits.

got me thinking you could probably download a gamesave with a heap of cool cars then transfer those from your psp to gt5... i'll be trying that anyway.

as for what edition, i'll be getting the CE, can't see myself getting any value out of 50% of the SE stuff so i'll hang on to that extra 170 bucks polyphony.

The GT PSP saves are locked to each unique PSP. It tells you so if you try loading up a save on a different PSP. I found that out after playing GT PSP on my PSP3000 while I waited the download code for the PSPGo, where I tried transferring the save file, it just wouldn't load. PD were clever enough to do so so you couldn't 'cheat' like that when GT5 came out. Although the transferred cars only work in GT5's Arcade mode, and not GT Career mode.
