Think $60 is too much for a video game? Then you probably can’t afford the ‘BAC Mono Edition’ of Codemasters' upcoming racer, Grid 2.
The special edition rings in at a tidy £125,000 ($188,700), making it officially the most expensive commercially available video game ever produced. In fact, they only made one of them, presumably because making more than one would be ostentatious.
So what can a couple hundred grand buy you these days? How about a racecar?
Indeed, the Mono edition’s crown jewel is a 170 mph BAC Mono supercar decked out in full Grid 2 livery.
I know what you are thinking, "sure it seems like a good deal, but am I really getting my moneys worth?" Don't worry, they also throw in this boss driving suit:

I wouldn't worry too much. They always release a "Game of the Year" edition these days that includes all the DLC and pre-order crap, so just wait for that and you'll get the car for half the price.

The fact that the hair is not included is a deal breaker.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

For the price I'd expect to be able to send my measurements and have it custom made for me.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
