your icon makes this SO much better

For everyone who didn't watch the video all the way through:

The price is over $9000.

Make that $14100

In the meantime, all I can think about is how his voice totally doesn't match how he looks.

Same thing I was thinking XD

this

he looks like an american Welshy.

totally xD

think Weird Al with a beard, his voice suddenly matches. ;D

oh god, that's like my girlfriend's brother

That's a hell of a lot to pay for a game that will graphically be 30-50% gun.

And for a game that is the most eco friendly out there! It contains 95% recycled material!

What are you hEAnting at?

What are you hACTIVISIONnting at?

HMMMMMMMMMM?

Oh right, I forgot Activision fucks up just as much as EA.

You owe me a keyboard.

Well played *high-five*

Shut up and take my positive attention!

Yes, sir.

:c

...
sorry I wouldnt even pay that MUCH for steel Battalion

... ya know... in the end, the winner is the dood selling the game... wish i was him

Oh Call of Duty, you create such idiots

The fuck is going on there.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

People with either to much money to waste on a whim, or an idiot who prefers to play video games over eating.

I'd love to live so highly and be able to think 1,000+ is toilet paper.
Man oh man, the things I would do
like going out and buying a game that will be released two days away
nope.avi

And the moral of the story is when you play video games so much that you spend nearly 2k to get a game early you're probably foreveralone.jpg irl.

o_o

Whoever won that game paid more for that disc than I paid for my Chevelle.

..... that amount of money could have been spent getting a computer to play much better games.

razors scare me ;3;

Kudos to the kid that put it on ebay and got that cash. KA-CHING

dont tell him what to do its his money FUCK YOU >:C

Congrats to the person who got taht money...cause they can buy a top grade computer...and play Battlefield 3

Agreed. BF3 > MW3

second.

I imagine the person who bought up that auction turned around and burned ten thousand copies of that game and sold them each a day early for $50 each, making a mountain of money himself. That or they're some attention whoring Chinese kid who wanted to have their game faq page ready for release day so they could have a high view count and lots of positive feedback.

This is why i don't play video games that much...

This is why i don't play video games that much...

Clearly our economy is doing very, very well.

Aside from the aneurism inducing stupidity of the subject, I found that quite entertaining.

I am a halo nut and I would not pay that much for every game's collectors editon.

over $9K for one game. I've said it before and it bears repeating, some folks have more bucks than rains. I almost want to try and sell my collection of OS2 and XBox games and see if I can find some other idiot like that. $9K would completely pay off my credit card and every other leech I we money to with enough left over to commission any piece of art I would ever whimsically want for a year or more, or let me go to Fur Fright next year at the highest level of membership, pay an escort limo service to drive me up and back with any female I wanted to bring with me, have her stay with me the entire weekend and drive me back home plus the freaking hotel and and be able to commission practically every freaking artist at the convention at least once. But that's just me. But heck if had that much money that I could just blow on a video game I'd be able to go to any convention I felt like and be such a patron of the arts that my funeral would be attended by more people than any one church has room for. But that's just me, I'm a furry, a writer and a pen and paper gamer. This B.S. just astounds me and just adds one more reason that humanity as a species is something that has no right to even fucking exist.

I wish I can sell games for that much. I'll make a living at that rate.

He should be a bassist in a prog metal band.

Just saying.

Still better than Ashchu.

Does anyone ever look at seller's feedback anymore?
Plus, we all should know it's either scam or CD full of gamerip files.

What's funny is he thinks $1725 is a lot of money. ^.^;;

Well it is when you're poor, but there's tons of people out there who could pull that out of their sofa.

It's all about putting things into perspective...
$1725 is A LOT of money to pay for a game when all it means is that you'll have it in your possession a few days earlier than the rest of the world.
It's 2875% of the original retail price, almost 29 times the price xD
That is a lot no matter your financial status =P

Naw, there's millionaire playboys with dozens of cars and ungodly home entertainment systems who would cheerfully dole out a couple grand to play a new game a day or two early.

The real reason it's stupid is because the game needs always online connection and so you can't actually play it untill it's released even though you already have the physical game.

... I seriously doubt Hugh Hefner is sitting in his playboy mansion buying MW3 online from Ebay. Seriously, it's a lot of money to spend on a game, like the previous person stated, but also the bid went up to like 9,000 according to the end of the video which you apparently didn't watch, and later comments said it reached somewhere around 14,000.

Just because a bunch of rich people think "it isn't a lot of money" doesn't mean that it ISN'T a lot of money to the general public. Out of 7 billion people on earth, only a few would be so dumb as to fork that much money on a video game. I guess 7 billion people are just "poor" though.

Well, 14000 is an awful lot, even for a rich guy. ^.^;;

I only watched the first half of the video, that beard guy is kind of annoying.

Anyways there's lots of other people who have that kind of money. Actors and atheletes and single successful yuppies. The latter is where most of the money comes from for furries, the few of us who are successful yuppies. ^.^

$1725 for a pre-release copy of Modern Warfare 3? Yeah, I can't say I'm not surprised. The Modern Warfare games are hardcore with tournament players. If you're good at them, you can stand to win quite a lot of money in cash or other prizes, assuming you have the wherewithal to participate in as many competitions as you can of this nature. Getting the game early gives the player a chance to have a leg up on the competition when the game has a more public release. There's also the fact that the game is so popular that having an early copy can be seen as something of a status symbol, at least until everyone else in the world has it. Still, paying that much money for it, you just know he'll come to regret it. Since the game is so massively popular, it's not going to appreciate in value like rarer, more obscure games (Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, early NES games with boxes and manuals). It also stands to be eclipsed by future releases...with EA this is a promise, as they tend to rehash their games every year to milk their franchises.

For me the costs greatly outweigh the benefits of paying that much for an early release, but I'm not that guy. It would make more sense if the early release was a limited edition that would not be seeing a full release, or if it came with exclusive benefits similar to grandfathered 3DS's.

Watch it all the way through, it's over $9000

Yeah, I saw that. It makes the first price look almost reasonable.

Here is what I don't understand. How does someone who is willing to blow over $9k on a $60 game get $9k in the first place?

Well there are lots of explanations, I think possibly someone just decided "I am getting this", and put a really high bid down, so whatever anyone else put, they would win, and then they couldn't retract it.

is too much money for a play you will love the first seconds,like some hours,think is funny the first week and hate in a month and change it for a new version

That's a lot of money for the time it took to make it.

COD fans, what do you expect?
It was probably some neckbearded manchild who bought it with their rent money

This...this is...gahh...all the fucks I don't give...they just fall from the sky

We must find that person. and Rob him blind.

Wow, stupid fucks... and this guy is pretty hilarious XD

... wow... over $9000... jesus H...

I have to sit here and laugh. The entire Series to me is hogwash.

COD is doing a goob job at brainwashing people. Good thing I don't have any of those shitty consoles! BF3's Team Deathmatch offers me the same experience and then some.

Plus, Activision's been taking a massive Canadian steamroller on the chests of PC gamers, so count me out.

Fuck the poor, I want my game a day early.


Damn if only I spent my last paycheck going to that self owned video game store and picked up an early copy for 60. I have a student loan I want to pay off. I also wouldn't mind taking care of health care for a few years.

to quote some random guy from ghost in the shell
"WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING."

If this happened for MW3... Welp. I'm buying a copy of the next CoD game and selling it. So, challenge accepted 17:fuckin:25.

I like this guy :3

You know what the worst part is? He bought it four days before release. Shipping was estimated at 3 to 4 days. Congratulations on your donation to one very enterprising individual.

Supposing it wasn't troll accounts: After 300$ it is simply the bro "I AM NOT GONNA LOSE TO YOU MUTHERFUKER" mentality driving the price higher, if the auction were to last long enough it could easily reach 25,000 (average spending money for the month of college bros with rich parents or inheritance, or day traders).

On the thought of commissions though ,well commissioning a real world artist will run you around 200$ an hour, in fact when those artists at comic cons/etc come to furry cons they specifically lower their prices 60-80% because they know how poor furries are and that 50-180$ is the most they could ever afford ;P Furry commissions are CHEAP yo.

After 300$ it is simply the bro "I AM NOT GONNA LOSE TO YOU MUTHERFUKER" mentality driving the price higher

Dude, that's pretty much what the entire MW series is all about. "I AM NOT GONNA LOSE TO YOU". It's kind of genius really. It's almost like he set up the auction to take advantage of the same kind of personality that is hardcore towards these games.

$1725 says it's a fake disc

this really amused me.
