It may be our last year on Earth, but it’s starting off with a bang; the rebirth of Polyphony Digital’s super hit, Gran Turismo 5 is finally here. Dubbed GT5 XL, this expanded edition includes the entire original game, along with $20 worth of DLC content including the Racing Car Pack, Car Pack 2, Course Pack, Racing Gear Pack, and Paint Pack.

Here’s what Sony had to say about it:

Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition Contents

  • Original Gran Turismo 5 game, featuring more than 1,000 cars, 20+ locations with 70+ track layouts, diverse racing styles including rally, track, karting, NASCAR, and more, deep online community features and online racing, plus Gran Turismo TV, Course Maker and more.
  • All of the new and improved features and functionality from all free downloadable game updates up through Spec 2.0 included on the disc.
  • Voucher good for over $20 worth of DLC content, including the Racing Car Pack, Car Pack 2, Course Pack, Racing Gear Pack, and Paint Pack.

Also included is a reversible cover featuring the Red Bull super car, a vehicle with a decidedly arachnoid shape that may scare off some players or inspire them to kill it with fire.

It’s a weak week on the PSN, devoted to Sonic’s 19th birthday. That means that there’s a lot of Sonic DLC that simply isn’t much of a bargain if you don’t have the games to go with it.

So what is worth it?

  • Blue Toad Murder Files can be sampled with Episode 1 for $1.49, and the entire series can be had for $26.
  • MAG Interdiction adds new maps, gameplay, and trophies for $9.99
  • Kick Ass is on sale for $9.99. Our review is here, we liked it.
  • Warhawk Fallen Star DLC is $1.99 – 75% off.
  • Red Dead Redemption “Outlaws to the End” Co-op Pack is free.
  • Little Big Planet has a free character download for the summer solstice.

All in all, it’d be pretty easy to ignore the PSN this week as we’ll be too busy playing Red Dead Co-op. Maybe it’s for the best.

 

In just a few days the world of Red Dead Redemption gets even larger with the free-to-download, and free-to-play (on PSN) co-op multiplayer pack, Outlaws to the End.

This pack drops on June 22, 2010, and will include six complete missions for up to eight players. While running the new missions players will earn additional multiplayer XP, and new trophies are up for grabs.

This is the first of three downloadable packs for this summer, with the other two being paid-for DLC.


 

Fat Princess just got a whole lot better. On top of having the most rumpshaking credits sequence of all time, Titan Studio and the folks from Santa Monica have released DLC that unlock an age old battle: Pirates Vs. Ninjas. The new DLC has a handful of new maps as well a total of four new character types. The name? Fat Roles. Ouch – that’s not going to get you in trouble again at all, guys.
