GRID 2 – BAC Mono Edition if this does not sell will Codemasters close?

May 25th, 2013 Ayiu

The world as we know it is about to change. Not a day passes by where we do not hear the words US dept-crisis and/or Eurozone crisis. The Euro is already traded as a historical fail but the “small” developer studio called Codemaster decided to publish a Special Edition for all racing game lovers against all rules. To make it something real special they also decided to put the price a little higher than usual. Not only £100 GBP or £200 GBP  but ridiculous £125,000.00 GBP (~ $190,000.00 USD)

With accepting the deal you agree to trade your hard earned coins for the following:

  • PS3 Grid 2 game with special packaging
  • PS3 to play it on
  • 170mph BAC Mono supercar specially outfitted with Grid 2 livery
  • Full set of Grid 2 and BAC branded racing gear including a helmet, suit, boots, and gloves – all tailored to your size
  • A day at the BAC factory, including a tour and time with technicians to customize your ride

Also this Edition is kind of limited, to be more precise, there is only one kind of the Grid 2 “Mono Edition”

Please, do not everybody rush out to your bank to mortgage your house even if this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, without doubt! Think twice, only this way you might imagine its full extend. You can be part of the history of the world’s record for the most expensive collector’s edition commercially available. This record is unlikely to be topped anytime soon.

For everyone out there who is not interested in collecting any PS3 stuff you can save your time from now on because Codemaster does not give you the opportunity to swap the PS3 for a Xbox 360. Well, to be fair you can really not expect to have such a choice for a filthy £125,000.00 GBP product. Sorry, but I am out!

For those who are still undecided, you can find the official website here. Members from Europe can pre-order the Edition here but watch out Game’s new policy which requires a £ 20 GBP deposit on any pre-order. Not everyone can deal with that! There is also no trade-in for two selected games and get it for 99p on this but reward points are redeemable.
For those from the UK who want to pre-order in person please consider prices in GAME Stores may differ!

Also good luck to any potential buyer from outside Europe as you will have to send an e-mail to sale [at] bac-mono.com and convince them to ship the vehicle overseas.

Enough talking, someone is better buying this edition, our economy is in need of bold and urgent action.

Time and Eternity Limited Edition available for pre-order

May 25th, 2013 Ayiu

After the huge GTA V announcement let’s all take a step back and have a look at the upcoming NIS-Game “Time and Eternity”. NIS-Games are super niche and made with a specific target audience in mind. But they have shown that they know what the term “Limited Edition” actually means. So if they are sold out, there will be no reprinting or remanufacturing. With only a limited number made most of the games tend to increase in value, so fans better hurry up. According to the NIS-America Online Store there is less than 50% stock left.

Now let’s have a look at the hard facts. The Limited Edition of Time and Eternity includes:

  • Time and Eternity Limited Edition box
  • Full-color hardcover art book
  • Time and Eternity original soundtrack with jewel case
  • “Double Vision” tear-resistant poster

The Edition is limited to 3 units per customer and priced at $64.99 USD.

Pre-orders can be made here
