5 most ridiculously overpriced video game collector's editions of all time: Featuring $1 million Saints Row and more

Collector's editions are not uncommon during video game launches as they are the most feature-packed and expensive versions of a title, allowing those who have the cash lying around to get the biggest and most extravagant experience. While most collector's editions feature physical goodies like figurines, signed merch, and more, there have been a handful that dared step into the realm of insanity.

These editions aren't just ridiculously expensive, ranging from thousands of dollars right up to a whopping one million (in USD), but also boast one-of-a-kind goodies for fans to enjoy. Here are some of the most expensive collector's editions to ever be released in the history of video games.

5 most expensive video game collector's editions of all time

1) Saints Row IV Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition ($1,000,000 USD)

Contrasting with the $100 Super Dangerous Wub Wub Edition, the Saints Row IV Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition is the most mind-boggling collector's edition of a game to ever be revealed to the public. In addition to the game, it didn't just include a replica of the oddball Dubstep Gun, but also a vacation trip, a real-life Lamborghini, and much more.

Here is the full list:

• Saints Row IV: Commander in Chief Edition
• Virgin Galactic Space Flight
• Full-Size Replica Dub-Step Gun
• Hostage Rescue Experience
• Plastic Surgery
• Spy Training Day
• Personal Shopper
• Capsule Wardrobe
• 7 Nights at the Top Royal Suite in Burj-Al-Arab, Dubai
• A week-long stay for two at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington DC
• First-class flights for the trip to Dubai and Washington DC
• Lamborghini Gallardo
• Toyota Prius
• 1 Year's Worth of Insurance
• 1 Year Super Car Membership

It certainly sounds like a fever dream, but it is unclear if anyone ever actually reached out to publisher Deep Silver to buy this deal. It should go without saying that only one "copy" of this edition was up for purchase and is no longer available since the open-world sci-fi game launched all the way back in 2013.

• A day at the BAC factory, including a factory tour and time spent with technicians to customise the BAC Mono for size and specifications
