Aussie bargains November 25, 2010: Gran Turismo 5

After five years of development, Polyphony Digital's opus has finally been released into the wild. Retailers around Australia started selling Gran Turismo 5 today, with a few keen stores opening at midnight. Never before have Aussies had so much choice when it comes to selecting where to buy their games, and with the launch of yet another big release, we decided to do a quick round-up (with the help of posts in the GS AU Bargains thread) to find the cheapest, best prices on Gran Turismo 5 and other good offers.

Gran Turismo 5 standard edition:
JB Hi-Fi: A$77
EB Games: A$118
