ok, I'm about to order the US collector's edition from gamestop in the US but the shipping to aus is $35USD + $99 USD for the game so about $160AUD total. Is there anywhere more reasonably priced shipping wise or should I just go ahead with this one?

yeah pretty much. i think it was jbhifi have the release date as december on their site.

Yeah eb have a release date of november 2010 and jb have a release date of december 2010, both on their sites.

does anyone know any aus retailers that are taking pre-orders on the collectors edition?

My cousin went to pre order gt5 at jb and i asked him to check if he could pre order the collectors edition, and he said yeah he could. I might go tomorrow to jb to see if i can pre order it, but i'm not sure since we haven't gotten any info about a collectors edition for australia.

forget gamestop

I just pre-ordered collectors edition from EB. Reason its not on the site is because there isnt a set price on it yet for them. But the guy told me it would be around $150 and it's definately out sometime in November.

i wouldn't be too trusting of them saying it will only be $150. just be prepared for closer to $200/250 as i said earlier in the thread. the collectors edition in the states is going to be $40 more than the normal version ($59 vs $99), and the $59 games there are normally $120 here, so even if you work of our prices being double that will still put it up around $200.

i really hope what you were told is right (because then i will put my name doen for one), but i'm highly sceptical.

I'm prepared to pay $200, I have no bills lol ;) But yeah just go into EB and talk to them about it if your interested in pre-ordering it. And for the record my brother asked about it at JB and it was the same story, they dont know what the price is yet.

yep I put down $100 on a pre-order at EB games too. they said the same thing, no price yet but they are 100% getting them and he said price will be around $150. I laughed and said I highly doubt it. I said probably more like $180-$200. He was adamant that it will be around $150 but yeah I seriously doubt that.

now we play the waiting game..... again.... ;)

I just pre-ordered collectors edition at EB. The girl there agreed that ~$170 was more realistic.

Its weird how nothing has been officially announced for aus for the CE edition yet but its in EB's and JB's database. More is supposed to be announced about GT5 at Gamescon which is on between August 18-22...maybe something about CE for other regions will be on the to-announce-list.

Yeah i'm buying a ps3 for gt5 as well as a new monitor that is going to be connected to my computer and ps3. I was originally gonna wait for the gt5+ps3 bundle if it does happen but cause of the CE, i may have to buy the ps3 separately.

I've also seen an "Ultimate Edition" on Amazon which a few people on gtplanet pointed out and now theres some news about it:

For GT5, there are two collector’s editions. One is the game plus some added content and collectibles, which (has already been announced), while the other is in a really big package with a lot of paraphernalia that goes beyond the game. It’s all car-related, but I’m unaware of the exact contents. That being so expensive, we may not directly order it from Europe, but we could bring in limited quantities from Sony in the Middle East. We’ll also be working with Mercedes in some way around the GT5 launch, but we’re yet to decide the specifics of that.

So we'll see how this one goes.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
