Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec II Special GT Event

Hello all,

I am moving home in the coming days so while packing, I find interesting things in my video game collection.

My last found is a Special build of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which was given to a very limited number of Staff people during a Citroen GT car promotion event.

Here is a picture of the box and disc.



As we can see, the box is not a classic PS3 box, but a standard DVD box, with a artwork made by the Citroen Marketing.

The disc itself is an officially pressed PS3 disc.

This game is a limited demo. The only car playable is the GT by Citroen. There is also a show room and an e-manual. Six circuits can be played.

Here are few picts of the game running on my PS3.



The circuit not visible on the picts is London.

Here is all I can say about this build.

If anyone have more information about it, don't hesitate to comment the thread !

Enjoy guys,

Baptiste.

 

Hello Johnny,

Thanks for your feedback ! Can you give me a link to this Database ?

Thanks !

Regards,

Baptiste.

 

This is amazing kenny! I've never seen this before at all. I think it could have been used at auto shows for promotion or at press events. I'm not 100% sure on that, but it seems plausible. This is probably one of the rarest Gran Turismo finds out there. Thanks you for posting pictures!

 

Hello Digmac,

You are right, it was used during a special Citroen Event, to promote the new GT car concept. I should make a video of the game playing, just to figure out what we are able to do in this demo (and to see the main menu, which is a 3D view of the GT in some german city streets. If more pictures needed, don't hesitate to ask

Thanks a lot Johnny, I didn't know that. I will ask Ortus if I can have an access (even a short time access) to the Database. Thanks a lot !

 

Thanks for showing it, I've been looking for it for a long time without any luck :/

 

Would you ever be willing to part with it Kenny?

 

I'd be interested to know if this disc would be able to be ripped via PC bluray drives.

Is it a standard BD-R disc or is it a fully authored PS3 disc (like ones you'd find in game stores)? If it appears to be a standard BD-R try to rip it with the guide I wrote up not too long ago. I wanna get my greedy hands on it to dig into it.

 

Hello Guys,

The game is on a ps3 authorized blue-ray. The same as retail ones.

Digmac, I actually want to sell a part of my collection, as my wife and I have a baby on the way so we need space and money. But someone here already ask if he can buy the disc and I say yes to him. We just need to find an agreement about the price. Sorry

Others items to come for sale this week.

 

@kennypecheur nice piece.
It seems that I am a little late to make an offer
By the way, the item is listed in our GT database, it's serial is BCED-00393, isn't it?

 

Hello Ortus,

Haha yes, a little bit late. I am a one word man, so I will sell it to him, unless we don't find a correct price.

About the serial, I can confirm it tomorrow evening. Is it ok for you ?

Regards,

Baptiste.

 

No problem and please let me know, if you don't negotiate on the price.

 

I am surprised that Citroen went to the hassle of actually having a physical copy. As far as I know, CD and DVD manufacturing was much, much cheaper and I wonder how much money Citroen spent just to have this thing exist physically.

 

I will

Yes, very strange ! But they spent a lot of money to make a concept car and a lot of Marketing for this concept car. I guess few ps3 disc is nothing compared to the amount of money.

 

is this for sale?

 

Okay thank you
