Re: Gran Turismo 5 versions

Thank you for the explanation!
I'm trying to build my own collection of ps3 discs which contain the most complete versions of the games, so I wanted to find out which image contains the latest update and order the corresponding disc. But so it seems, that it does not matter what disc I order, I get the same basic version that needs to be updated to 2.17.
Of course, I have all the updates downloaded and backed up, but still I wanted a complete disc version. A pity.
(And there is some error with "XL Edition" in the Vault. The download page indicates that there is BCUS-98394, but rpcs3 shows that it is BCUS-98114.)

The versions shown on Vimm are versions of the physical disc, which don't always correspond to software revisions.
From what I can find, the EU 4.0 game is the version of the game released under the "PlayStation Essentials" budget printing, as well as the "Academy Edition" of the game. Both contain the same software, but the Academy Edition also came with a code for extra DLC.
The US version 4 was released as the "XL Edition", and it is labeled as such in the Vault. This was also a copy of the game bundled with codes for DLC, as well as including some software updates on the disc.
The software revisions did only go up to 2.17. The last two patches for the game were to prepare it for end-of-life, as the servers for the game were being taken offline. Version 2.16 of the software disabled online play and version 2.17 removed online requirements for certain features, such as installing DLC from the PlayStation Store. (The DLC was later removed from the PlayStation Store anyway, making this moot.)
