I thought someone had added up the contents and it was only about $600k>$700k worth, totally bad value for money

Nice publicity stunt, gets them free advertising... I wonder if anyone will do the cunning stunt move of actually buy it?

For 1m you'd think they could come up with something a bit better than Dubai:-

.. No thanks...

I just laughed when I realised they werre throwing in a Toyota Prius. No thanks!

[Onkston]

Lol that is a crazy deal.

It would've been good if they had done it a while ago but also included in the bundle actually being in the game somewhere. That would be more worth it

Sadly somewhere along the line "Dubai" became synonymous in certain media for "Exclusive/Rich" - although I suspect it is mostly stuffed with the faux-rich and a strata of mildly wealthy that are to the truly rich what chavs are to the average British person (as in the ones that give us/them a bad name).

Yep, but then again isn't that true for most of these "special editions"? Remember seeing a "cost it" appraisal of the last Assassins' Creed top-of-the-line special edition and you were paying a good few quid over the odds for it.

That is just mental.

Thanks for the review of Saints Row IV!

Actually the sheer stupidity of it is part of the attraction for me - a lot of games these days are taking themselves way too seriously, becoming a bit po-faced as a result.

As to the SDWWE, if I had a stupendously large lottery win then Koch could have the cheque by return of post! Although the practical side of me would prefer an Audi R8 V10 to the Lambo. In the meantime, I'll just have to content with my C-in-C edition pre-order and my clapped out rust bucket. :'(

But can the Dubstep gun kill???

YES!
At least according to the articles I've seen. Actually there's a pretty good overview of the design process (whaddya mean ... you thought that they just got drunk and scribbled something down? LOL) given at this Penny Arcade article

this is mental why would you spend that amount of money on saints row and the rest of the stuff is not relevant to the game

I'm guessing it's the plastic surgery for facial reconstruction into one of the games characters that brings the price to a million.
