Sure, we love our games here at TSA Towers. Some of us pre-order the titles on our wish lists and others go and grab them on launch day, wedging them between the biscuit and teabag multi-packs before making a B-line for the supermarket checkouts. Hell, some of us are even crazy enough to fork out an extra bit of dosh for the occasional novelty gubbin or steelbook case.
With blockbuster shooter Modern Warfare 3 rolling into town next week, one particular fan has gone a little overboard, paying a staggering sum of $1725 just to get it a few days earlier than everyone else. The game was purchased from an eBay user who presumably picked up one of the leaked copies which are said to be from US retailer Kmart. The auction fetched 88 bids, the seller promising to ship the game via Priority USPS.

I assume he’s into the Single-Player, those MP lobbies will be rather empty for a while…

It’s his money and his choice, and I assume his favourite game. Why do people criticise something that has no effect on them – each to their own.

I never thought of this and you are correct. It makes no differencde to me, so fair play to the guy or gal.

For an overrated pile of shit that uses such an old engine! I hope it turns out to be a pile of shit like the last Modern Warfare so they realise what douches they are for paying such stupid money. And for the PC version it isn’t even “next gen” compared to Black Ops what a waste of money!!!!

awkward moment when he’s got nobody to play online with!

That link’s now been removed by eBay. In case anyone’s interested, I took a pdf of the Google cache and uploaded it here:

Wow sweet he’ll be able to finish the single player campaign that nobody cares about before everyone else!

why does everyone think nobody cares about the SP? it is the main reason I buy it.

It’s the same for me too, though I rent it.
Peco
I prefer the SP too actually but I would assume that someone crazy enough to spend this kinda money is a MW nut and thus is far more interested in the MP.

Did he buy it from ‘GAME’ in the UK[that is a normal price for new games this gen] lol

Seriously! That is on sad little man/woman!

That’s quite cheap for someone to risk their job for. Besides, that money could easily made back with YouTube videos of gameplay at midnight on Day One.
