Fan Shells Out $1,725 For Early Copy Of MW3

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.

  1. If someone wants it that much, fine. Each to their own :3

  2. I can buy a car with that, nuff said

    • I could have my car insurance for a year instead :P

  3. Ebay just deleted the auction link. Did he send the money in time?

  4. What a knob. Honestly, who cares about getting it a few days early? Now Activision will probably start offering their games a week early for $1000 now that they know the market is there.

  5. Lol what a nerd.

  6. Can’t believe how much negativity and hate there is from most of the commentors who supposedly don’t even want the game! Chill people stop being so jealous, it was probably never paid for anyway.

  7. What a crazy but sad bastard

  8. Each to their own I guess

  9. would be funny if he got it on the street date.

  10. What a bellend aha No game is worth that, especially when the game is mainly based on MP and he’ll be the only one on Earth with it.
