Gran-Turismo-6-Invite.jpg
Sony has announced a 15th Anniversary Edition upgrade for Gran Turismo 6. Pre-ordering the $60 PlayStation 3 racing sim at GameStop will automatically give you the anniversary upgrade bonuses, which includes 20 cars, custom paint chips, a race suit and helmet, PSN avatar, and "a copy of Beyond the Apex II app."
Yes, that's right, just pre-ordering Gran Turismo 6 at $60, the price it is anyway, will get you all of the 15th anniversary bonuses. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Especially if you were already going to buy the game in the first place.

For those that can't do Gamestop, you can do Amazon. There they will give a $1,000,000 credit (in-game, of course),so you can purchase whatever in-game car you want to.
Here is the bonuses you'll get if you get the 15th anniversary pre-order edition:
20 exclusive cars
  • BMW Z4 GT3 '11
  • Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 N24 Schulze Motorsport '13
  • Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) '14
  • Tesla Model S Signature Performance '13
  • Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale '11
  • Alpine A110 1600S '68
  • Aston Martin V12 Vantage '10
  • Audi R8 LMS ultra (Audi Sport Team Phoenix) #3 '12
  • Ford Focus ST '13
  • Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 '13
  • Honda weider HSV-010 (SUPER GT) '11
  • KTM X-BOW R
  • Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 '11
  • Lexus IS F Racing Concept '08
  • Lotus Europa (type54) '68
  • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 '11
  • Renault Sport Megane Trophy V6 Race Car '11
  • SRT Viper GTS '13
  • TRD 86 Racing '08
  • Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 Race Car '08

Pretty good deal if you already planned on getting the game, and likely the push some people would have needed to pre-order it. It's nice to see the user not have to pay extra to celebrate a game series living for 15 years.

So preordering the game removes the challenge of building your way up to the better cars? No thanks.

When I play a racing sim, I want to start off with shitty cars, upgrade and tune and then earn money to get better cars. Where's the fun if I already have many fast cars from the start?

Consider this: No one's forcing you to use them. It'll have the usual "shitty cars" from the start too.

Yeah that is a common thing with pre-order dlc that I hate these days, they often supply you with items that kill the challenge of the game, whether it be overpowered weapons, power ups or some other items. I really don't see the sense or value in it.

Yet there are still games where I have to unlock things for multiplayer.

How about the Amazon preorder that gives you 1mil credits? It's not like you'd just let the money sit there and not upgrade your car.

People are becoming lazy as shit, even in gaming. Nobody wants to earn anything, they just want to have everything.

I can fairly safely say that if a friend offered to sell or buy such a code then they would not be my friend any longer.

Why? Eventually it will be available for official sale anyways. Forza, need for speed ect, all have done this before. They give away a shortcut pack with so many copies and within 30-90 days start selling it official through psn/xbmarket/stream.

Sorry I thought we were still discussing the credits preorder. DLC cars and extras I can see being sold/traded.
