Looks like Stern might finally be looking to get a slice of the after market mod cake if this is a sign of things to come, makes sense.  Im sure lots of people would like "official" bling on their games if its available.

I have always thought that they should simply do a base model and then you just spec it up with whatever add ons you want.  Even if you aren't the original owner you could still bling it out at a later date if you chose.  From Stern's perspective they can then still get some cash-flow from a title well after it's released and they have moved onto subsequent games.

Although for the prices of each of those items, you start to wonder what is the point of the LE, particularly if you then have to pay extra for this sort of stuff.  It should probably be standard on the LE.

Maybe they will change their model a bit going forward, depending on how this works out.
