Hey Richie Rich, like video games but have no time to shop? I understand, you're busy swimming in a pool of Mickey Mantle rookie cards with Chilean supermodels as your eunuch butler serves your pure-bred Dogue de Bordeaux filet mignon with gold shavings. Everyone's got problems. Lucky for you, I'm here to give you a look at the best, most expensive video game accessories. Hit the jump (that's common talk for "have your assistant click 'read more'").

XL Wall Mural - $255
Ran out of Picassos before you ran out of wall space? While your company is busy cloning the great master to decorate your foyer, please to enjoy this 15' by 9' mural of Batman. Put it up while you're playing your advanced copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum (Eidos stock must be somewhere in your portfolio), then tear it down and throw it away when you're done. These XL Wall Murals also come in Littlest Pet Shop and Thomas the Train varieties for your whiny, spoiled brats.

Red Queen Sword of Nero (Devil May Cry 4) - $416.25
This replica of Nero's sword from Devil May Cry 4 is a full-sized beast, measuring in at 42 inches (the height of a kindergartener). Pressing a lever releases fuel onto the sword, which then ignites. That's right, flaming sword. Order from United Cutlery here (http://www.unitedcutlery.com/ProductDetail.aspx?itemno=UC2596&cat=LC). Now your personal chefs can slice your snow leopard paninis in style.

Gears of War 2 Locust Drone Design Maquette - $649.99
Nothing says nerd luxury like 1:1 busts. When you're sick of it, leave it to your heir. He can use it to practice kissing the snaggle-toothed, sunken-eyed, inbred Austrian blueblood you've arranged for him to marry. This hand-painted, hand-finished monstrosity is available for preorder, but it's a limited edition of only 500 pieces...so, uh, act now?

Ryu Painting (between $10,000 - $14,000)
UK artist Dave White created this painting of Street Fighter's Ryu on a 5' by 4' canvas. He's one of the world's up-and-coming painters, which you couldn't tell by looking at this painting. Sure, it's not that great looking (is that a coffee stain on the right edge?). But it's on internet record as the most expensive piece of video game artwork ever, so if your country club friends don't like it, tell them to Google it.

VRX Mach 4 - $25,000
The VRX Mach 4 is a fully immersive racing experience. For this much, you could buy a real race car for an immersive racing experience...but who are we to question the whims of the rich. While the sight of four 360s alone is enough to boggle the mind, try to hold your pee about this: it comes with 4 Sharp Aquos 37" 1080p LCD HDTVs, Bose Acoustimass surround sound, Harmon Kardon surround sound receiver, a 1500 watt vibration feedback system, and a fan-powered virtual wind system. For more specs and to order, click here (http://vrx.ca/mach_4.php). The price isn't available on the website, but if you have to ask, you can't afford it. We asked.

Gold and Diamond-Encrusted Game Boy - $29,500
This gem of a handheld was commissioned by Aspreys of London. Encased in 18K gold with a screen surrounded by individual diamonds, this Game Man is a good way to let people know you play retro games because they're cool, not because you're poor. Order it with your black AmEx at Swiss Supply Direct Inc. (http://www.swisssupply.com/nintendo.php) In case you're on the fence, it comes with original cables, three random used games, and a worn-out briefcase.
