*UPDATE: the publisher reached out to clarify that Diggerland pass is a family pass*

Yes, this is real, and yes, that equates to $644,138.98 US Dollars. The mad lads at publisher Wired Productions and developer Just Add Water are upping the ante for collector’s editions in the video game industry. This (extremely) special version of DIG VR, the Meta Quest VR game all about operating heavy digging machinery, is available to order now over at the publisher’s website.

The DIG VR collector’s edition includes a litany of incredible items. Here is the list, pulled directly from the press release:

  • One custom ASHVILLE-wrapped JCB 100c-2 Excavator – fully equipped and ready for a true-to-life digging experience. The owner of this Collector's Edition will be able to liaise directly with Ashville to agree a look for their custom wrap!
  • One custom DIG VR wrapped JCB 100c-2 Excavator – As if it has come straight out of Diglington, this excavator will come fully equipped and ready to dig!
  • Two Meta Quest 3 VR headsets – offering an immersive gameplay experience as close to reality as possible.
  • Two copies of DIG VR – so players can enjoy the co-op gameplay modes, digging in virtual environments with friends or family.
  • Trip to 'Dig This' in Las Vegas – a unique adventure to experience America’s heavy machinery playground. Travel and hotel included.
  • Tour of the JCB Museum in the UK – for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s top construction equipment brands. Travel and hotel included.
  • Family pass to Diggerland in Kent – the ultimate theme park for machinery lovers, offering an array of digger-based rides and activities.
  • Custom hard hat and high-vis jacket – personalized with the buyer’s name, making it a collector’s piece in its own right.
  • In-game personalization – buyers will get their names added in to the game credits.
  • Bonus sticker sheet – a fun addition for all ages.

Folks, that is how you do a collector’s edition. But do be sure to read the fine print, because there is a catch – shipping is not included. Also, it will take about six months for your order to be ready once placed, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to figure out how to get two full-sized pieces of industrial machinery hauled to your front door. Or maybe right through it.

If you don’t have half a million pounds sterling burning a hole in your knickers, you can also just buy the game a la carte for 14 pounds sterling, which equates to a far more palatable $19.99 US Dollars.
