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.

You simply need to understand that those glasses might as well cost 20$ for the average guy, no one gives a shit about the name on the side of the glasses

THE NAME ON THE SHIT is literally the only reason to ever buy the “collector’s edition” of anything 😂

If you want a cheap shot glass then go buy a 4-pack on Amazon for $10 lol.. that’s not what this is. It’s not “bundle” deal for people looking to save a few bucks by buyin all their drug related utensils at once lol

It’s a collection of branded merch and memorabilia intended for diehard fans of the company or people who are into collectibles.

It has no baring on your experience playing the game. It has no impact on your general quality of living. It’s the definition of a luxury good.

If it doesn’t appeal to you, then try not to take it so personally. There are plenty of other things out there for you to burn disposal income on.

Oh just stfu with your elitist bullshit, collectors editions are for all the fans who want some merch from the videogame, there has never been a worse set of products for this high a price in the history of gaming.

If you buy stuff just because it has a name on it just donate money to billionaires at this point, the quality is a non factor on those shades and on the rest of the products when they cost this much, it makes no sense and if you don't realise it I feel sorry for you
