Nike teams with Sony on special GT4 offer

TOKYO--Major running shoe and apparel manufacturer Nike is collaborating with Sony Computer Entertainment on a release of a limited edition Gran Turismo 4 bundle.

The product, appropriately named "Nike/Gran Turismo Limited Edition," will come with a specially designed GT4 sneaker and a T-shirt by Nike, and a copy of GT4 adorned with special Nike/GT4 box art.

The three items will be packaged inside a special aluminum case and will cost 32,000 yen ($302). The offer is limited to 1,000 units and will be sold only through Sony's online store and a handful of Nike retailers in Japan. The bundle goes on sale starting December 3.

In addition to the combo package, SCE also revealed that Gran Turismo 4 will feature a hidden car that has been designed by Nike. Any gamer can unlock the car by playing through the game, but if you purchase the special package, you can take a snapshot of the T-shirt with an EyeToy camera and unlock the car immediately.
