I'm 90% sure it was just new accounts up bidding the copy just for s**** and giggles.

I doubt the final bid willl payout that much. I'd bet the guy maybe ends up with $100, if that. The game releases in 4 days and anybody with an ounce of sense would know that by the time the game ships you wont have made more then a few hours ground on people who just go to the midnight release.

Sign of the times. I'm pretty sure this was foretold by Isaiah in the Bible. Oh well, humanity is doomed, better get to repenting...right after this TDM match....

Wonder if there are more hardcore fans out there for any other series than this guy though. At least he's committed to what he likes, dunno if many others could claim they're bigger fans of their favorite games than him.

The funniest part is if it is an early copy, that means he has nobody to play against online.

I can understand it a little better if it was....say... Half life 3 and it was a very early beta copy or something, but 4 days or something from release and a game that will get a reindition and DLC that will drastically change the original game not far from launch...wow, what an idiot.

Considering how long things take to ship, I bet it shows up at his house on or later than Tuesday.

Hmm, maybe it was IW that bought back the copy because they didn't want people to have it early.

And let the hate begin. Its ok to hate COD (lord knows SW does), but don't hate the guy for crying out loud. Let him do what he wants. If he's got the dough, then by all means, go for it. If he would have spent that much on an early copy of Zelda or Skyrim or something, nobody would be criticizing him.

*shrugs* Who am I to judge how others spend their money? Seems kind of silly given how soon the game is coming out though.

No game is worth over a 1000 bucks, plus I doubt he can do much online until Tuesday, guess the campaign will have to hold him.

Heck I still feel paying 60$ on release for any COD game to be too much. This dude takes it to the other extreme.He could have bough a ps3 and xbox 360 and MW3 on both consoles and still have money left over for other stuff. Maybe it's just fake or some publicity stunt by Activision. But all it makes us do is think of this guy as a retard :P

Well there's probably going some people playing online that he might be able to match make with given the popularity of the game.

that guy needs to get laid bad

almasdeathchild
..he spends 1.7k on a game and he needs to get laid? What does that even have to do with getting a girl? Seriously I don't understand gamers at all. They get their panties in a bunch when some media outlet does a story on gamers and it's all stereotypes and cry "IM NOT LIKE THAT!" but then you guys just go and put stereotypes on other people.

It won't be much since the game isn't officially out yet.

Because he wants MW3 and playing BF3 has nothing to do with anything. Anyway, the bids were fake, new accounts just to make the bid even higher.

Hmmm, bet he going to regret that somewhere down the line. Specially seeing MP is pretty much deserted at this point and SP isn't going to be long enough to last 3 days.

No wonder Activision think they charge Australian $100 for the game cause people will pay anything to play it.

Deserted? Are you serious? There are still tons of people playing COD4, MW2 and of course BO.

The phrase is "he has more dollars than sense(cents)."

I would try this with MW4 and see if it works, to be honest.

i could understand if it was, like, six months early, but the week before? i mean are you that anxious to play the campaign? i figure a fan that hardcore would be one of those MP obsessed people. good luck with that, considering no one else has the game yet.

also, it would be hilarious if the shipping was 6 days or something

I almost paid a guy $250 to get MGS4 a week early. Yes I loved MGS that much.

At that point MGS was still my favorite series and I figured with as many hours of replay value I got out of MGS2 and MGS3 it would be well worth it. Luckily some guy out bid me and saved me the misery of spending so much money on such a turd of a game. Even at $60 the game was a rip off.

Anyways, I'm sure this guys about to feel some buyers remorse.

The guy should have canceled his bid the instant he recognized he was paying that much money for a game releasing in a couple of days. I would never pay that much money for any game.

Thats the most ridiculous i have ever heard. If i was rich i wouldn't pay that much for my favorite game 2 days early.
