Best Buy Has A 4K Steelbook Edition Of The Gran Turismo Movie
Pre-orders are now live for the upcoming 4K Blu-ray version of Gran Turismo, the big-screen adaptation of not only the long-running PlayStation game, but the fascinating story behind it. Directed by District 9's Neill Blomkamp, the film is based on the true story of Jan Mardenborough, a teenage Gran Turismo player turned professional racing driver.
38 dollars
You can pre-order the 4K UHD Steelbook Edition exclusively at Best Buy for $38. This edition also includes the standard Blu-ray and digital versions of the film. We won't be surprised if this version sells out.
28 dollars
The Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray Steelbook Edition of Gran Turismo is available for pre-order for $28. Comes with standard Blu-ray disc and digital copy. It is packaged in a steel collectible bookcase. As with Best Buy's 4K Steelbook edition, we wouldn't be surprised to see a Walmart exclusive before launch.
33 dollars
You can also pre-order Gran Turismo in three different formats on Amazon. The 4K Blu-ray version is currently discounted to $33. The 4K version comes with a standard Blu-ray disc and a digital copy. Standard digital version Blu-ray and digital version DVDs are also available for pre-order. It currently costs more than the 4K version, but these prices are expected to drop.
No extras have been announced for the yet-to-be-released Blu-ray release, but you can probably expect some behind-the-scenes content, commentary tracks and trailers. The film stars Archie Madekwe Mardenborough, David Harbour, Darren Barnett, Emelia Hartford, Geri Halliwell Horner, Digimon Honsu and Orlando Bloom as the villain Danny Moore.
Critically, Gran Turismo didn't fare particularly well. The racing feature film currently holds a MetaScore of 46 out of 43 reviews on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic. At the time of writing, the user has a Metascore of 7.7, so viewers love it. While many critics have called Gran Turismo a flashy advertisement for the long-running PlayStation game, there is consensus that Blomkamp's performance pays true homage to the video game franchise while creating a variety of spectacular racing scenes.
