We're going to go out on a limb and assume that Gran Turismo 5 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/gran-turismo-5) XL Edition, a mysterious new version of GT5 that's recently turned up on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Gran-Turismo-XL-sony-playstation3/dp/B006JKARN0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1324843014&sr=8-3), Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879261376)and Buy (http://www.buy.com/prod/gran-turismo-5-xl-edition/227360929.html), isn't a DLC-packed Game of the Year-esque compilation re-release, but rather a literally extra-large version of the original. Bigger cars, bigger tracks, bigger disc, bigger box ... it probably even requires an extra-large PlayStation 3 to play it.
If you're a market analyst looking to make safe predictions, we guess you could infer that GT5 XL Edition is actually the stateside title for Japan's upcomingGran Turismo 5 Spec II (http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-gets-new-spec-ii-box-art-refreshed-disc/) rerelease, but we prefer living on the edge and thinking outside of the box -- until Polyphony Digital makes an official announcement, of course, at which point all knowledge of this post will be disavowed.
