Mass Effect Andromeda, the space opera from BioWare that we've seen less than five minutes of gameplay of despite it supposedly launching next spring, has an uber-expensive collector's edition available for pre-order. Chumps with too much change can stump up $199.99 to snag a copy of the game (in a steelbook case, no less) alongside a remote control Mako – or Nomad as it's known in the new game.
The edition, available to pre-order on Amazon for our US readers, will be exclusive to GAME in the UK, where it will sell for £279.99. We'll refrain from making any politically charged commentary and simply point out that the price difference between regions is, frankly, day light robbery. We suppose that the car itself is cool, complete with LEDs and a built-in camera; you can control it using a smartphone or tablet.
As with any of these collector's editions, we're not entirely sure why anyone would want them, but we've told you about it so our work here is complete.
Update (12:00PM): A slight correction here: bizarrely, the game doesn't appear to be included in the US, when it is in the UK. That makes the price difference a little more tolerable we suppose, but still insane.

I hate the Mako with a passion, so if I somehow got my hands on this the first thing I'd do is drive it straight off a cliff.
Limited edition with game non included? This is even more baffling than those limited edition consoles that don't include the game their are branded after.
I'm one of those rare few who enjoyed the mako landings in the first and best Mass Effect.
Not a fan of all this pre-order bonus crap available light years before the game is released.
Collectors editions of games without said game is stupid.
lol £280. Nomad Soul, one of my favourite games. I'll just be picking up the space vanilla version.
Plus side is it probably won't sell out in the UK at that price point, you can always ship it to the US for the reasonable exchange rate of $350.
I want a collector edition but with 90,00 as price tag! 199,00 without the game is a joke.
ripp off we got home front revolution Goliath edition for £40 on sale. Even then its overpriced Rc tank
After buying the Splinter Cell Blacklist collector's edition with the "flyable" plane, I'll never buy an edition like this ever again. The plane was un-flyable even on a perfect day and watching/reading everything prior didn't help.
The game not being bundled in the U.S. version makes the bundle much worse.
The Mako is my favourite vehicle to drive in any game I have played. Yes its expensive but for Mass Effect I am happy to pay it.
