More information about the recently-leaked “Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition” has just been posted by online retailer NewEgg. From the product description:
Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition features the full original version of Gran Turismo 5 game, the best-selling racing game on PlayStation 3, all of the downloadable patches and free feature and content updates through Spec 2.0, as well as a voucher for all of Gran Turismo 5′s current and yet –to-be-released DLC valued at over $25.
Features:
- Original Gran Turismo 5 game
- 1000+ customizable cars
- 20+ Tracks, 70+ layouts
- 16-player online racing
- New online racing challenges updated on a regular basis
- All game patches/updates since launch, including new Spec 2.0 update released in October 2011.
- Voucher for over $25 worth of DLC, including 25 new cars, 4 tracks, and more
- All of the DLC from October, December, and early 2012.
As you can see, the description offers a few small hints at what we can expect in 2012, indicating at least two more unannounced tracks and at least six new unannounced cars are still in the works.
Both NewEgg and Amazon currently list XL‘s release date as January 17, 2012, though no official announcement has yet been made by SCEA.
