Rockstar Games today announced that there will be both a Special Edition and a Collector’s Edition of Grand Theft Auto V, releasing this September.

As an additional bonus, those who pre-order any edition of Grand Theft Auto V (including the Special Edition, Collector’s Edition or the standard retail edition) between now and September 17th will get access to pilot the Atomic Blimp in-game vehicle.
