10 Most Sought-After Collector's Editions In Gaming

2. GRID 2: Mono Edition

Alright, now we're heading into the territory of collectable insanity. In fact, had Codemasters not posted in officially on their website we may have assumed it was a joke. Still, this list isn't about being sensible, it's about excess. It's about marketing people going all out and pushing to see just how far consumers are prepared to go. And as far as excess goes, Codies' preposterous GRID 2: Mono Edition very nearly takes the proverbial cake. It won't take more than a moment to break this down for you all: You give them £125,000, you get the game and a PS3 to play it on. And a free supercar - set up to your needs - plus custom race attire. It really is a super car too - the British-built BAC Mono is a 2.3 litre, 280 bhp, carbon fibre rocket ship, capable of screaming its way up to 60mph in a skin peeling 2.8 seconds. Obviously this is more a marketing ploy to grab headlines, but it was still a very real deal, and one of the craziest special editions ever offered. What's in the box: A fire-breathing race car. What more do you need to know?

Game-obsessed since the moment I could twiddle both thumbs independently. Equally enthralled by all the genres of music that your parents warned you about.
