For US$ 17,100! - Image 1What can you buy with US$ 17,100? I gave it some thought and came up with the following:
  • 42 80GB PS3s
  • 342 DualShock 3 controllers
  • 100 PSP Slims
  • 11 46" Bravias
  • 4,275 Big Macs
Now, I'll probably never see that kind of money in this lifetime, but it looks like one guy just happened to have it, and he used it to get the winning bid on that Metal Gear Solid 4-themed PS3 we reported on a week ago. Yeah, the one signed by Hideo Kojima and Yumi Kikuchi. The one that came with the swag pack full of limited edition items. Excuse me while I wipe my drool off the keyboard.

I can't imagine myself laying out that kind of money for a system that I'll never get to play with (it's just so darn beautiful - except the controller - that I think it would be sacrilege to even play on it), but I really do like that Foxhound case. It would go pretty well with my G-Man Halloween costume.

 » wow.

Uhmm, 17,100..

I could probably take the pictures of it, and build it for 200 tops.

I'd feel like crap if I wasted 17,100 on this.

People, including myself, often mistake which button is like or dislike. Almost all the time I end up clicking "I dislike this comment" but yes, as long as you think it's worth the laugh, it's all cool. :)

 » the guy who bought it...

his ID is "charles_is_on_welfare." He probably is if he's stupid enough to blow $17,000 on a video game console...

It seems almost all of his past sales are MGS4 or something video-game related...

 » And??

If he wants to give $17,000 to charity in exchange for a Rare PS3 that's his choice, and so what if he's bought a lot of games? is this really the right place to say something like that? :-D I spend money on loads of pointless crap, mostly video game related.

 » Impressive Mod

very good looking mod -I'm a diehard fan of the series and I wish to have one - However, it's for a cause so $17,100 for a cause is extremely good. Believe me he - Charlie_is_on_Warefare will not be playing that console and also - how could you be on warefare and afford one? Now I know where my taxes are going to.
