$150 Collector's Edition includes money bag, snapback hat, blueprint map, artwork, and various in-game items and bonuses; all preorders receive access to pilot atomic blimp vehicle.

Rockstar Games today announced premium bundles for this September's upcoming open-world game Grand Theft Auto V.

The $80 GTAV Special Edition includes a copy of the game, a collectible steelbook with never-before-seen artwork of Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, as well as a 21.5-by-26.75-inch blueprint map that shows off Los Santos and Blaine County.

The bundle also packs in various in-game perks, including a special ability boost for Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. With the boost, players' special ability bar will generate 25 percent faster.

The GTAV Special Edition also includes single-player Stunt Plane Trials and bonus outfits, tattoos, and "special deals" from shopkeepers inside the gameworld. Lastly, the premium bundle offers gamers additional weapons, including the pistol .50, the bullpup shotgun, and the melee hammer.

A $150 GTAV Collector's Edition will also be available. It includes everything from the Special Edition, as well as a special GTAV-themed 10.75-by-8.5-inch security deposit bag with a logo key.

The bundle also includes a "Los Santos"-branded GTAV hat made by New Era and classic GTA characters for use within the game's multiplayer component. Players who buy the Collector's Edition will also receive an in-game garage to store custom vehicles.

In single-player, these cars include the 1930s-style Hotknife hotrod and the CarbonRS sports bike. In multiplayer, players will get to zip around in the Khamelion electronic car.

Lastly, Rockstar announced today that anyone who preorders GTAV--any version of the game--will be able to pilot the atomic blimp in-game vehicle. Preorders for all premium bundles went live today and will be available while supplies last.

GTAV launches September 17 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
