London turned into a live Monopoly board

There used to be a time when kings had their own live chess boards with people representing chess pieces and you have seen it in one of the Harry Potter movies too, but now, you can have your very own live Monopoly board. Hasbro has fixed GPS tracking devices on 18 London cabs so that they can be tracked real time and this helps you play Monopoly real-time!! You choose which cab driver you want to play with, pick your properties and place your houses and hotels and you are ready to go. You get to play for a day and you try and make as much money as you can. I call Park Lane and Mayfair!!! (For those of you who have not played Monopoly, these properties rock.)

Must be the UK version... for those of us in North America, I'm thinking Ajay is trying to "monopolize" Park Place and Boardwalk!

This sounds like a really wacky idea... I wonder just how competitive people will get with it though... it could potentially get out of hand. It will be interesting to see just how it 'plays' out ;)
