Hardcore Modern Warfare fans are a strange bunch. How strange? Apparently strange enough to spend $1,725 to get Modern Warfare 3 four days early!
Early copies of Infinity Ward's upcoming blockbuster have made their predictable way to eBay and are selling like hotcakes. All except this particular copy, which sold like a cake made of Jesus' cum. Nobody knows who bought the game, but early reports indicate that it might just be the worst human being alive.
How much extra would you pay for a game that could get you banned from Xbox Live?

I'm sure anyone that can afford to drop $1725 on a video game can afford to spring for the overnight shipping option.
That just made me lmao and cry even more. Then again, whoever is selling it is one lucky motherfucker.
Well, he sure isn't the 99%.
It wasn't. I was pissed off.
I'd piss myself if someone had just paid that for a pre order!

Also,
Now THERE'S an image that isn't leaving my brain any time soon.
In this case, someone's making a quick thousand bucks off one!
That's why reviewers have their gamertags sent to MSoft and Sony so that those tags are exempt from the list of people that could/may be banned.
The things people do.
I must now find a copy to sell on ebay.
What the fuck is wrong with you internet?
You know, I bet if you trace that account back to the seller, it will turn out to be Kotick. Dude be trolling hard.
After looking at the bid history (http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p4340.l2565&rt=nc&item=250923688676], and clicking on each of the bidders, you'll see that all of the really large bids came from people who bid almost exclusively on this seller's products.
It's just money laundering...
On the other hand a little bit of faith is restored,
They retracted that and said even legit copies could be banned.
Niiice !
