THIS IS THE ARTICLE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE ON VG247.

There’s only one of these in the world, and it’s exclusive to GAME.

I can’t help but think the money spent on these prizes could have gone to charity, development costs, the poor, the sick, the hungry, the disabled or anything else other than this.

It’s a frivolous waste that won’t make any more of us actually by the game at launch. I put it up there with some celebrity endorsing a range of clothes ‘inspired’ by a game. I honestly do not understand what this is trying to achieve.

If someone wants to buy this then more power to them.

Still, it beats porn doesn’t it Volition?[/I]

VG247 ARTICLE ENDS.

Does it include the game?

JaseC · Aug 9, 2013

The included holiday to Dubai seems like a joke considering the rising resentment towards its archaic and self-incriminating sexual assault laws.

Whiteshirt · Aug 9, 2013

Apparently.

I love how they're giving you a Toyota Prius out of all cars.

Nah fuck that, YOU GO INTO SPACE!

Frostinferno · Aug 9, 2013

In for two.

TheChewyWaffles · Aug 9, 2013

I'm in for 4.

Mithrandir · Aug 9, 2013

It's actually JUST as frivolous as the game itself... And therefore exactly right!

Well, they're also giving you a Gallardo

Also the Prius is the car that environmentally conscious millionaires drive these days

Meia · Aug 9, 2013

I'm confused. Are we really at a point where we're complaining about a ridiculously expensive edition for a game that only someone with a million to blow would ever buy, and saying it shouldn't be used on fun stuff but on a charity when there's tons of them being represented by gaming already?

Certinty · Aug 9, 2013

Yeah because all that is worth $1,000,000, what a joke.

Nibel · Aug 9, 2013

Funny thing is you're probably more busy with the stuff included than playing the game itself

Yasawas · Aug 9, 2013

You'll just look at all that stuff once and put it in a drawer.

mclem · Aug 9, 2013

Let's see, can I convince 99,999 other gaffers to fork out a tenner? It'd make one hell of a bingo prize.

McSpidey · Aug 9, 2013

No season pass?

Well...

Lambo Gallardo is what, £150,000?
Virgin Galactic is £250,000 I think (or was)
Those hotels and 1st Class tickets won't come cheap
And of course the £40 game

Sojgat · Aug 9, 2013

This is the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

Seems fitting.

Hoo-doo · Aug 9, 2013

Awesome.

A Lamborghini Gallardo, a week trip at the most luxury hotel in the world, going to fucking space?

And Saints Row 4, don't forget that!

Addnan · Aug 9, 2013

Remember that Grid 2 special edition with the car? Lol.

Is it cheaper to get this or do all the stuff by your self?

I'm sure that hotel in Dubai costs like £300 a night for a normal room and they're giving you the Royal Suite for 7 days.

StiLt · Aug 9, 2013

It's the Prius that really sells it.

The site should scuttle the whiny article text and replace it with this.

Mistah · Aug 9, 2013

Why can't I order it on the site?

Need that lambo for my dog.

Azure Phoenix · Aug 9, 2013

I love the "Please note: prices in GAME stores may differ" disclaimer on the page. The lack of an add to basket option is worrying though, does that mean someone already has bought it?

Resilient · Aug 9, 2013

That's the most embarrassing shit I've ever seen. Get fucked.

Just checked, £1,200 a night for middle spec room, something like that.

Valnen · Aug 9, 2013

I really hope someone buys this.

Special Editions are almost never worth it, they are for collectors. I think ill pick this up and not open it.

Enkidu · Aug 9, 2013

Yeah, I have tons of Lamborghinis in my drawers.

so1337 · Aug 9, 2013

I always buy my Lamborghinis at GAME stores.

firehawk12 · Aug 9, 2013

It's exclusive to a UK retailer but they're using US bills on the promo image? lol

BladeoftheImmortal · Aug 9, 2013

I'd buy it if I was filthy sinking rich.

Marvel · Aug 9, 2013

Who... would... ugh.

Striek · Aug 9, 2013

What purpose does it serve? You just adverstised Saints Row 4 and GAME. Boom, mission accomplished.

Can't believe the faux outrage ITT already. Even if someone did buy it, who cares, billions of dollars are squandered every day.

Tacitus_ · Aug 9, 2013

Oh they're just taking the piss now.

Jb · Aug 9, 2013

Did someone do the maths on how much this stuff would cost independantly?

Gallardo + Space Flight : 400K

I doubt the rest is worth 600K.

It's not real money silly, it's just a game.

You must have some pretty big drawers if you can park two cars in there.

EDIT: Just realized that was probably the joke.

Welcome to video games. Enjoy your stay.

Jimrpg · Aug 9, 2013

is that a lamboghini gallardo car IRL or in the game?

Daffy Duck · Aug 9, 2013

The kicker for me in this whole thing is:

Please note: prices in GAME Stores may differ.

Lol.

cafemomo · Aug 9, 2013

dubstep gun?

Krilekk · Aug 9, 2013

Actually looks like pretty good value for the money.

Valnen · Aug 9, 2013

IRL from the sounds of it.

sunnz · Aug 9, 2013

BUT, will it be £1,000,000?

I must know...

So could the money you spend on your broadband and the money you spend on games and the money you spend on other things that aren't necessary to living.

Get your head out of your arse. Jesus.

Gianni Merryman · Aug 9, 2013

I would buy this for 40€ or cheaper

Spirit of Jazz · Aug 9, 2013

I like the vagueness of "plastic surgery"

That's from the article, I didn't write it. FFS.
