PSP 3000 Gran Turismo Bundle

Even though gamers in Europe will get a free copy of Gran Turismo for download with purchase of a PSP Go, Sony is not leaving Americans completely out in the cold. Remember the sexy white PSP that Sony was constantly showing during the lead-up to the launch of the system way back in 2006? It came with a custom Gan Turismo paint job, presumably to accompany the UMD game that never came -- until now. Sony today announced that it will finally make that Gran Turismo PSP bundle a reality. This PSP 3000 system comes with the Gran Turismo game on UMD, a custom metallic silver PSP 3000 unit, a 2 GB memory stick and a voucher to download a Corvette car from the PSN in a special custom color (white of course!)

This pack will be on sale at participating retailers starting October 20 for $199.99 (USD), and will include:

* Mystic Silver PSP-3000 system
* Gran Turismo PSP game on UMD
* PlayStation Network downloadable voucher for a white Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, a color not available in the game and is exclusive to this entertainment pack.
* 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
* PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher - title TBD
* Sony MusicPass voucher good for 10 downloadable songs - available to U.S. residents only. Choose from hundreds of thousands of your favorite artists from Sony Music Entertainment.

The stand-alone Gran Turismo game will also be available in digital and UMD formats on October 1. For more information about the game, check out our Preview and Gran Turismo Car List.
