Rockstar is jumping on the special edition and bonus content bandwagon with GTA V, as they’ve just announced their special editions for the upcoming open-world crime simulator.
From today, those who pre-order the special editions will be in for some extra in-game content as well as some bonus real-life stuff to hold on to. The full breakdown is listed below, for your convenience, because we’re nice like that.
The Special Edition includes:

Players will instantly receive a garage to store custom vehicles. In single player, the garage will be stocked with the 1930’s style Hotknife hotrod and the CarbonRS sports bike. In Grand Theft Auto Online, players will get the high-end Khamelion electric car.
In addition, all pre-orders, no matter what version you pre-order, whether it’s the Collectors Edition, Special Edition or standard Retail Edition, you’ll get an extra in-game vehicle in the form of the ‘Atomic Blimp.’
Personally, I’ve never cared for in-game bonuses and to be honest, I see them as nothing more than a rip-off. Still, there are those who will want every bit of content as soon as possible, so this is catering for those people. If you are one of those people, be prepared to pay up to $149.99, depending on which edition you want to buy.
