Seriously!
At the recent convention, hanging in the computer gaming room I heard that my wicked cool green Halo edition XBox was some kind of limited run dealio. Huh. I just thought it was cool. OK, the skins that these dudes had put on their regular xboxes were wicked too. I want a skin! Anyway, so they claimed it would be worth money putting the collector fear into me about screwing around with my XBox by either modding it or putting one of these nifty skins on it. (Darnit I was thinking Halo Graphics or something like purple flames would be cool, too. Rats. Shut up, yes I AM a geek.)
So I decide to check out the going rate on EBay. As we all know this is the real test to see what something is worth. Will people really pay thousands of dollars for a piece of garbage? Sure they will! You just have to package it right! So Ebay being my preferance to watching “Antiques Roadshow” (Save me now! AUGHH) my surfing fingers do their magic.
Ebay searching…searching..searching… And what does it lead me to?
Microwaved XBox Halo 2 disc: The Product of Anger and Rage
I’m not sure what’s scarier, the fact this guy did this, the fact he put it up on ebay, or the fact there are already 22 bids.
Quick, it closes REAL soon, go get your slice of gaming history!
