GRID 2
That's because if you buy it, not only does it cost $190,000 (do not adjust your eyes, they're working fine) but it comes with an actual car. But it's not just any car. It comes with an actual complete 170mph BAC Mono supercar (pics are below). That makes the Grid 2: Mono Edition the new official Guinness World Record Gamer's Edition record holder for "Most Expensive Video Game Commercially Available - Special Edition.
Not that it matters at this point, but the Grid 2: Mono Edition also comes with the PS3 edition of Grid 2. Because if you're going to drop $190,000 on a car, a videogame better come with it, mirite? Actually, it also comes with a tour of the BAC factory, a Grid 2 branded Bell Racing helmet, suit, and gloves tailored for each individual owner, and a PS3.
But anyway, back to the car itself: the BAC Mono is a British street-legal racer (perfect for track days) powered by a 2.3 liter 280 bhp four-cylinder engine. Its 0-60 time is a scant 2.8 seconds, owing to its light carbon-fiber construction, no doubt.
You can pre-order all this insanity atwww.moremoneythansense.co.uk www.game.co.uk/en/grid-2-bac-mono-edition-228776, unless you live outside of the UK. If that's the case, then you can shoot an email to sales@bac-mono.com to register your interest.
And if you're looking for a review of the Grid 2: Mono Edition, then you're better off watching Top Gear than surfing videogame websites.

ABOUT GRID 2:
GRID 2 will challenge players to be fast, be first and be famous. Going behind the wheel of a handpicked selection of automotive icons spanning four decades, gamers will race their way to the top of a new, evolving world of motorsport. From Paris to Abu Dhabi, Chicago to the sun-kissed California coast and beyond, beautifully created city streets, licensed circuits and edge-of-control mountain roads will become home to the most visceral and exhilarating racing yet.

To get the series off the ground and attract attention from the world’s media, players must compete against and recruit the best drivers from the best racing clubs from different disciplines across the world, including Track racers, Drift specialists, Street racers and more.
GRID 2 will also set new standards for a racing multiplayer experience with an entirely distinct and extensive gameplay component and unique progression system. Deep customisation options and integration with RaceNet – the online community portal for Codemasters Racing games which tracks player’s races, rewards and rivals – will offer further immersion and connectivity in GRID 2’s new world of motorsport.
