    No more than £40 for a game. And even that is a little too steep.

    Huh? £130 for a game? Why, what where when who?
  • Serious question.

    Why is it £130? what "extra stuff" does it come with?

    I might've done it for the last Modern Warfare, simply because of the night vision goggles that came with the £140 version on top of the rest of the junk... But it's ridiculous how much people WILL pay for stuff like this. They only charge this much money because they know people will pay it...

    Night vision goggles with a game, for £140? You have GOT to be 'avin a laugh, mate.

    Apple have based their entire business model around finding people who will pay obscene money for average goods for years. It seems other people have (sadly) cottoned on to the genius of this.

  • you get a fancy box, model car, artwork book, wallet, key fob, 1 of drives magazine.

    More importantly you get " five ‘ChromeLine’ Collector’s Edition cars plus six ‘Stealth’ vehicles, both featuring enhanced performance and liveries and an exclusive dynamic theme."

    You also get to enter an extraordinary competition that will combine in-game and real world driving challenges where you can win a real Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

    Theres gonna be a very limited number available.... if I had the cash i'd get one... but you really have to like GT5 lol.
