I guess the kids in the UK are doing much better than us here in the US, because the headline does say one hundred and twenty-five thousand British Pounds ($188,700).
But let us here at ToT put things in perspective. The GRID 2 BAC Mono Edition isn’t so much a special edition of a game as it is a luxury sports car that happens to come with a game. Know you know that I am sure you going to be ready to pull out your VISA card now.
Specifically, the BAC Mono Edition comes with the Mono, essentially a street legal formula racing car. Also included is a racing suit and helmet, a copy of GRID 2 and a PlayStation 3 on which to play it. According to BAC’s website, a Mono with no frills has a base price of £96,495 ($145,919), and that’s before throwing in VAT. Only one copy of the BAC Mono Edition is being manufactured, making it something a collector’s item. You can place your pre-order exclusively with GAME. Oh, and shipping is free.
Now Best Buy is selling a special edition of GRID 2 in North America. It includes the IndyCar DLC pack and retails for $59.99. Much more in the range of my pocket book.
GRID 2 comes out next week.
