Video game bundles can get pretty ridiculous and expensive, but we’ve come across a bundle for the newly released Gran Turismo Sport PS4 game that turns the absurdity up to 11.

Sony Interactive Entertainment Taiwan recently announced a $46,000 bundle for Gran Turismo Sport that includes a limited-edition 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The bundle also includes a PS4 Pro, a PlayStation VR headset, Move controllers, a Thrustmaser T-GT PS4 racing wheel and pedals, an Apiga AP1 race sim seat, a 12-month PS Plus subscription, a Dualshock 4 wireless controller, a Sony Bravia 4K TV and a hard copy of Gran Turismo Sport, of course. Just one of these bundles was made, and it was purchased by a Taiwanese car collector shortly after its release.

The majority of the $46,000 price tag is from the Miata, which is a limited-edition Gran Turismo Sport version that likely costs a bit more than the entry-level Miata. This bundle doesn’t appear to be saving the buyer much money, but then again,you’re probably not too concerned about saving a buck if you have $46k to blow on a video game bundle. There’s also something to be said for having these items purchased and delivered to you in one go, as opposed to shopping all over the web for them.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the craziest ever racing game bundle. When Grid 2 launched, it was offered in BAC Mono Edition form, which included a copy of the game and a limited-edition, Grid 2-branded version of the BAC Mono track car. The price was a cool £125,000, or about $188,000 USD. Do we see a trend beginning to form?
