^ Thank you for the welcome, dude.
I am actually aware of the Gran Turismo 5 CE in the United States since I've seen unboxing videos of it as well as the pics Twistedsymphony provided. This edition is actually exclusive for Asia (I don't buy Euro-exclusives. Customs and taxes will kill my parents' wallets
) and yes, I prefer this one. The enormous sleeved box, that neat, little keychain, and the certificate of "authenticity" were all traded in for a smaller box with a cute windowpane to reveal the GT-R model, the Stealth Models Pack (totaling 11 downloadable cars extra) and a significantly cheaper price tag.
