Back in my day, if you had cartridges for the Commodore 64, instead of crappy cassette tapes, you were considered a massive show off.

Oh, but how times have changed.

Because nowadays, to be considered a show off on the kind of scale Joey Essex and Cristiano Ronaldo would be proud of, you must buy a video game... which comes with its very own, very expensive, supercar.

Yes, Grid 2: Mono Edition is officially the most expensive video game on the planet and will set some rich person back a cool £125,000. Only one customer will be available to pre order the package, which includes the highly-anticipated game from Codemasters, a PlayStation 3 console... and a 170mph BAC Mono supercar with racing driver clobber thrown in for good measure.

The road-legal machine, made from high-strength carbon fibre, goes from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds (I think that’s slightly faster than the Road Runner himself). And, let’s be fair, it is a thing of beauty.

If, however, your bank balance is like mine and redder than a Koopa Troopa's shell, then the normal version of Grid 2 is available tomorrow at more reasonable (Amazon) prices of £36 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and £22 for the PC.
