You know the value of the supposed "content" of this far exceed 1 million $.
I mean, Lamborghini Diablo AND another car, and a trip to space and plastic surgery and several vacations....

I just hope they realize the person who paid for this will actually demand these things :D

But even as that paragon of princely privilege builds a house made of money so that their other money can be warm during the artificially manufactured winter money blizzards, ...

Classic!

If I had it, I would buy it.  Honestly, I have found Saints Row 3 to be one of the best games I ever played.  Fun, open sandbox world, fantastic campaign missions, and some of the best voice acting I've ever heard.  An absolutely great game that I fear many missed because of the ribald marketing campaign (which is why I skipped it for so long).

Saints Row 3 pisses over GTA4, mainly because it remembered to keep the fun in the game whereas Rockstar sadly forgot.

That's 100% spot on.

Exactly. I'm interested to see if GTA 5 swings back the other way a bit, or if they keep adding crap nobody wants to do in a game. Maybe this time your character needs to go grocery shopping, and you need to enter into a spreadsheet program to prepare your monthly budget.  ::)

nah
that Lambo brand new is $250,000
the prius is about $25,000
the trip to space runs about $200,000
the 2 trips combined probably run $20,000 together
the rest all together is less then $100,000

looked at like that its really a ripoff.

Lambo for a mere $250K???
Not where I live at least :P

Same goes for the Prius.

And since when do trips to space cost a mere 200K? I remember that last time it was at least more than a million.

EDIT: Also, don't forget that after taxes and the retailer's cut and everything you'll certainly get less than a million for it :P

the Lambo theyre offering is $250,000 here and the Virgin Atlantic flights to space are about $200,000.
if you want to go to the ISS on a Soyuz thats going to cost you about 10 to 20 million.
