The carnage simulator series Saints Row is really starting
to make a reputation for itself when it comes to crazy promotional materials.
Back in 2011 the third game in the series was heavily criticised for using pornstars to promote sales before its release, and now the
upcoming Saints Row IV is set to raise the bar of ridiculousness even further.
As well as including the “Commander in Chief” special
edition of the game, plus a real-life replica of the game's iconic (and utterly
ludicrous) Dubstep Gun, the “million dollar pack” also entitles its buyer to a
week trip to both Dubai and Washington DC, flight and board; a space flight on
Virgin Galactic; plastic surgery; a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Toyota Prius plus one year's insurance an one year's Super
Car membership; some real-life military training exercises such as a hostage
rescue experience and a spy training day – and more.
I mean, when you put it that way, that's probably some
really good value for your money.
You can check out all the rest of the details on this
completely insane pack at Game's website. And if you're the
kind of person with much more money than sense, feel free to get in touch with
the game's publishers at makemeasaint@deepsilver.com
– I'm sure they'll be happy to hear from you.
Saints Row IV is set to be released on the 23rd
of August in the UK and will be available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
