That is probably the most overpriced thing i have ever seen. I seriously don't hope anyone buys it for that much.

That's what happens when a limited edition is actually limited.

Actually, just thinking about this, you've got to wonder where the price comes from. The game itself only costs about $50. Then you've got the included game demo's which probably are about $30-$40. The packaging might be up to $20. An artbook which really depends who wants it, but lets say $100. Then there's the artifact which couldn't have cost more than $100 to make.

Really, whoever buys this is getting ripped off and they know it.

It has nothing to do with how much it costs, but the limited demand/collection fanatics. Some people are crazy like that.

That is the reason why companies often advertise "limited edition" products.

The worst part of it up to this point: 10 bids

I wish I had that much money to throw around on a product that was priced way too high above its actual value.

I would never pay any more than $100 for a video game collector's edition.

This isn't a collector's edition, it's an actual rarity. Only a few of them exist.

Remember the NES tournament that Nintendo hosted a while back? At they end, they gave out 26 gold plated NES cartridges that had the three games played in the torunament. They regularly sell for at least 20k.

Damn, if that's the case, then I would hate to see what people are going to pay for the limited edition of Demon's Souls.

They have money and want the game? The price tag is extremely sad in my opinion, only rich people would have the option of owning it. Even then though its just sad.

These people are crazy. Although, I have two questions.

First, where did they get these limited editions from?

Second, if you were a multimillionaire, would you buy this?

Personally, I don't think I would. You could buy / do a lot of stuff with a couple thousand, why spend it on something that will just gather dust on your shelf?

for epenis size, probably.

No I would rather buy a diamond knife because that would actually useful

Well, it's actually a 'Limited' edition. There's only about 20 copies of it in existence, and they likely all are on eBay now. Some people are obsessive about getting Limited Editions of games. For example, those Gold NES cartridges. People are willing to pay a fortune for them, and it's no different here. Certainly, if I had a PS3, and much more money than necessary, I'd consider throwing some money down for that.

Well, I said 10 because it's more likely someone will be selling one if there's more than one. I'd imagine if I had the only one of something in the world that held some value, I'd hold onto it.

Unless of course I didn't have a lot of use for it and knew it was worth a bomb.

I can understand classic rare games being worth lots of money but this is a limited edition of just another next gen game. Crazy.
