Sony to launch PSP 3000 Gran Turismo bundle

Sony is to release a new limited edition bundle for its UMD-compatible PSP 3000, offering the hardware with a copy of Gran Turismo for USD 199.99.

Due for release in the US and Canada on October 20 - a few weeks after the launch of the upcoming digital-only PSPgo - the hardware bundle will come with the console in mystic silver, the racing game on UMD, a 2GB memory stick and three download vouchers; for a white Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 not already in the game, for ten songs from the Sony Music Pass service and for a PlayStation Network film yet to be confirmed.

At a press conference held during Gamesom last month, SCEE announced it would be offering early adaptors of the new PSPgo in PAL regions a free, full digital copy of Gran Turismo with their purchase, however this offer has yet to be confirmed for US consumers.
