We've reported about the $190,000 worth Mono Edition for Grid 2, where the added bonus was not just some fancy cosmetic DLC, but a high-performance car. And although the game came out in May, guess what, no one bought this super-special edition yet.
Codemasters' racing game Grid 2 has a fairly expensive special edition that you can pre-order. How much is it? £125,000, or $189,016. What do you get for that kind of money, you ask? Well, Grid 2, for one. Also, a PlayStation 3. And a car.
Sim racing games are fun for few, but the community at large finds them boring. Arcade racing games are fun, but they're a bit too fake. So what if there was a game that combined the two? That's what GRID 2 wants to do. It's coming out next week, and the developers are here now to answer all your questions. Fire away!

Everything is social these days. If you don't tweet and update your Facebook status every 40 minutes, you are an outcast and a pariah. If you don't Instagram your meals, your friends will pretend not to know you. And if you don't develop a social gaming experience, nobody will buy your latest game. And that's why Grid…
Our redesigned, car-loving pals at Jalopnik have played some of May's Grid 2. They detect a viable Forza competitor.

The new teaser trailer for Grid 2 has got some seriously squealing tires and some seriously flaring lenses.

Codemasters has seen fit to develop a second Grid game. The first, released in 2008, was pretty damn great, as you'd expect given the fact many of the team from the respected TOCA series had worked on it.
