Not defending it, in any way shape or form - but the regular versions of the included Oakley Frogskin sunglasses retail for almost half the price of this “CE”.

Not sure exactly why they decided to do this - but I can imagine this (in conjunction with the ludicrously overpriced vinyl set) is intended to milk as much money out of the most die-hard fans as quickly as possible to appease shareholders and recoup the supposed $2b budget.

    Yeah, I really don't get those sunglasses. I'm not even sure, if there's Vice City branding on them. I guess, if they did some funky design, people might not have wanted them, but buying fairly generic sunglasses in an expensive bundle is also silly.

    As best as I can discern, they have custom palm tree art on the arms with a custom pink Oakley logo, standard prizm sapphire lens, custom Vice City engraving on the lens.

    So not something that can be 1:1 replicated with their customiser tool, but you could get pretty close.
