Grand Theft Auto V pre-order bonuses include a flyable blimp and more

I’m not sure what the total line-up of vehicles looks like for GTAV  yet, but I sure as heck would love to take a leisurely cruise around the city in a blimp. Today, developer/publisher Rockstar Games announced two pre-order packages for the game: Special Edition and Collector’s Edition.

The Special Edition will include (as listed in the press release):

•  Full retail copy of Grand Theft Auto V

• Collectible SteelBook with Exclusive Artwork – features custom color and metallic treatments to bring out the detail of the Michael, Trevor and Franklin artwork created exclusively for this SteelBook

• Blueprint Map – exclusive, 21.5” x 26.75” map displays a blueprint view of Los Santos and Blaine County

• Special Ability Boost – Michael, Franklin and Trevor each have a unique special ability. With this boost, the special ability bar will generate 25% faster

• Stunt Plane Trials – single-player Stunt Plane Trials let players take on additional aerial challenges spread throughout Los Santos and Blaine County

• Bonus Outfits, Tattoos and More – Michael, Franklin and Trevor get bonus outfits in their wardrobes, character specific tattoos at tattoo parlors, and special deals from shopkeepers across Los Santos and Blaine County

• Additional Weapons – when visiting Ammunation stores in single-player, merchants will have special weapons in their inventory available for free: the Pistol .50, Bullpup Shotgun and melee Hammer

• Grand Theft Auto V  Security Deposit Bag with Logo Key – inspired by the heists in Grand Theft Auto V, this custom 10.75” x 8.5” money bag features a pop-up style lock and laser cut logo key to secure important items. The reverse side features a pressed Rockstar Games logo on the security mount with a framed ID window

• Grand Theft Auto V  New Era 9FIFTY™ Snapback Cap – this exclusive New Era 9FIFTY™ cap features an embroidered Los Santos logo on the front, a stitched, black Rockstar Games logo on the wearer’s left side, a Grand Theft Auto ‘V’ logo applique on the opposite side, and snapback closure for an adjustable fit

• Custom Characters for Grand Theft Auto Online – get classic Grand Theft Auto characters to use within the Grand Theft AutoOnline Character Creation System

The Collector’s Edition will include all of this good stuff, but it will be packaged in special box with the GTAV logo on it. The Special Edition will go for $79.99 and the Collector’s Edition for $149.99. That must be one awesome freakin’ box. GTAV  becomes available for purchase on September 17th, 2013.
