Video: Gran Turismo 5 PS3 Packaging Reveals Three Discs

[PS3 News]

GTPlanet (linked above) reports today that Gran Turismo 5's PS3 packaging has been revealed by Kazunori Yamauchi himself in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG video below... which shows how the car made it into the game.

The GT5 packaging includes room for three mysterious Blu-ray discs.

To quote: The most curious thing, of course, is the fact that the packaging clearly contains three separate Blu-Ray cases - one black, one red, and one blue.

What could they be? While the conspiracy theorists get to work, here's a list of other interesting tidbits from the clip:

- Gran Turismo uses one single physics calculation model, so they simply enter the parameters for each car, and the handling characteristics play themselves out within the game. As Yamauchi says, "If the original car is made well, it'll drive well."

- We get a closer look at the 3D model of the SLS AMG in Gran Turismo 5, along with a corner from the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

- Mercedes' narrarator suggests that Yamauchi is "considering" putting the new SLS AMG on the cover, but Yamauchi's following comments (along with the box art seen earlier) all but confirm it will be the star of the show.

As he explains, it "will probably be the most exciting car in the world when GT5 is released". He also was sure to mention: "Fans of Gran Turismo 5 really have something to be excited about".

Probably just bonus content like behind the scenes, developer interviews, etc. Like NFS Most Wanted (or NFS Carbon).

Kazunori seem a little to excited about the Mercedes. But as for something that i can afford is gt5 3 discs nice. One is the game of course and maybe the other is the making of gt5 that would be cool and the other could be software so you can make/scan your own car on your pc then upload it to the ps3.

it would be nice though to have the abilty to recreate a car that isnt included let say a 92 mustang cobra to some 1970s stock car.

Why would there be two "special features" disks? Maybe one has car and track models (for installing).

Arcade Disc, Simulation Disc and Bonus Disc maybe?

I guess 1 & 2 could would be ~ like in GT2:
1. Intro + Arcade (+ Rally)
2. GT mode
3. Bonus (BR video, making of, documents, interviews etc.)

So I quite strongly agree with you.
