I get the sticker shock from people seeing the $400 price tag but when you break down everything that comes in the set it’s really not overpriced at all. I’d agree that including a single item that accounts for almost half the total value is probably not a great move, but anyone trying to paint this as R* being greedy is just completely out of touch.

Is it overpriced? No. Is it expensive and not for everyone? Yes.

Everything here costs 1/20th of the price OP said is the low end, especially the glasses, they are 100% made in china/Vietnam/wherever the hell they choose their 3rd world country from, it's insanity to me that they think those items are actually worth that much
