Wow. is this real?

seems to fit the craziness of saints row.

are they actually bundling all that stuff?
I mean, space trip, lambogini, 7 days dubai hotel.lol plastic surgery!?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

People are getting defensive over this? It's a joke, and a bit funny. I doubt they have any of those prizes purchased, because I doubt anyone buys that one edition. So I'm not sure what money should be going to charity.

OP needs to relax a bit. There has been no wasted money. It's marketing.

 

[KennyLinder]

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.

READ THE ARTICLE, I DIDN'T WRITE IT !

 

[popo]

It is just jokey PR. I doubt they expect anyone to buy it.

Also, 1 million for a couple of nights in Dubai is not that bad.
7 nights in the Royal Suite (19 000$ a night) is still 133 000$

 

[Busty]

This is the smartest and ballsiest bit of marketing I've seen in a while.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mainstream media grabbed hold of this.

Probably best to add the text in quotes, before others think you wrote it lol

It gets better, seems it's being run by a company called Koch Media, hahaha.

I can't help but wonder what kind of trade-in value they will give me after I've completed it.

If I'm going to spend £1million on it, I better be able to trade that **** in.

 

[EXPotemkin]

More like lods of emone edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON-7v4qnHP8

 

[Jamie OD]

No season pass?

I knew there was something those sneaky bastards left out!

Apologies if you mistook that as me directing it towards you, it was directed towards the writer of the article, I only quoted the article to highlight the stupid suggestion.

Perhaps I should have noted that it was directed towards the author of the article and not yourself.

...Koch Media are the owners of Volition.

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.

That suite alone costs 20k a night.

 

[Bomber Bob]

plastic surgery?

 

[Wizman23]

I hope some rich Gaffer buys this and documents the experience

HA HA It certainly looked like it was directed at me! Never mind, it's Friday

 

[Dug]

How many editions of SRIV will there be?!

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Can't wait for some rich oil baron in Dubai to buy it ... just because he can

 

[CrunchinJelly]

 

[KennyLinder]

I hope some rich Gaffer buys this just to rub it into the OP's face

Seriously. Just.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

This is a joke right?

 

[flipswitch]

No crack cocaine? Major let down since it's an essential part of the game.

 

[Yoshichan]

What the fuck am I even reading?

 

[Rubius]

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.

Visiting the Hallway of the Royal Hotel is 200$, my uncle went on a visit, since he's stationed at the Canadian base. Kings and princes go there.

 

[zinder]

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

You haven't seen much then.

 

[Noisepurge]

I really hope someone buys this.

i bet someone is going to buy it, a movie star, rapper or sports celebrity

 

[Daedardus]

The plastic surgery bit implies that this is a joke edition.

I'm still waiting for the $50,000,000 BrrBrrBzzzBooom edition, with included private jet.

 

[MMaRsu]

Honestly 1.mil is a bit much but goddamn great special edition!

 

[Fudgepuppy]

So plastic surgery could be any kind of procedure? Because that could be 500 000$ worth of surgery if you want it to.

 

[Trent Strong]

Ha, ha. This is a pretty good joke.

 

[mclem]

Oh they're just taking the piss now.

Well, yes. That's the point.

 

[Lucifon]

This is wonderful.

 

[kurtrussell]

If I won the lottery, this would most likely be an insta-buy for me.

Not sure how this is "disgusting" when it's no worse than the majority of all the asinine crap that the super rich spend their cash on.

 

[Trent Strong]

Do people not know this is a joke?

 

[xValentine]

Awesome.

Just need to make $990,000 more.

 

[MMaRsu]

Do people not know this is a joke?

How are you so sure?

 

[dungtongue]

Isn't that just a list of in game items? Or a joke about Grid?

 

[Trent Strong]

How are you so sure?

Erm...

 

[Copenap]

I sure wouldn't mind having a Galactic Space Flight in my backlog.

 

[CitizenCope]

Do people not know this is a joke?

They'd rather be angry.

 

[HT UK]

I love it. I hope whoever buys it does an unboxing

 

[MMaRsu]

Erm...

Great response! Now I know your reasoning

 

[nofi]

I'll wait and get it pre-owned.

 

[StaSeb]

Nice marketing-stunt. The publisher has all the rights to cancel all that after the short burst of media-attention is over. Good for them, but a bit stupid and shallow.

 

[rrs]

GAME has already tried to sell a bundle this zany for Grid 2, it's a PR stunt mainly

 

[mclem]

How are you so sure?

I don't think Trent means 'is a joke' in the context of 'doesn't exist'. I think it's a real package, that is purchasable, and the fact that it exists is a joke.

They should underline the gag by offering a second version for 1.5M... with the same content plus the season pass.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'll wait and get it pre-owned.

Make sure you turn the Gallardo upside down and check for scratches then.

 

[nofi]

Make sure you turn the Gallardo upside down and check for scratches then.

The guy in GAME will no doubt give it a quick rub with his sleeve first anyway.

tried? but did someone buy it

 

[Spookie]

If someone bought this I might have to shake their hand.
