[url]http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1211626p1.html[/url] from \ign/"A leaked copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been sold on eBay for $1,725. Unauthorized copies of the game were mistakenly released into the wild this week, when a retailer placed the game on sale. MW3 is not due to be officially released until November 8th. One copy of the game was placed on eBay and has been picked up for nearly 29 times the retail price of the game. It received a total of 88 bids. But early play may carry an additional price. Xbox Live's Director of Policy and Enforcement for Stephen Tolouse warned that playing the game online pre-release could result in a ban. He tweeted, "Pre-release play not authorized. Please be patient. Playing early may impact your account!"' there's more in the link but it's spoilers
What a winner.
Wow you have to be really fucking dumb or have enough money that you can squander it on anything I mean it's a multiplayer focused game so buying way ahead is totally pointless
[QUOTE=Andokool12;33120393]What a winner.[/QUOTE] No, What a loser. I like to see his face when he find out he has been scammed
that's stupid. nearly $2000 for a game thats coming out in about 4 days.
He must play it for the campaign. :v:
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;33120446]He must play it for the campaign. :v:[/QUOTE] 2 grand for 45 minutes of fun? Theres hookers in vegas that will stay the week with you for 50$
I think I'll make an empty CD case with MW3 written on the front in crayon and put it on ebay. Should get me about £500.
It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. [/QUOTE] He's still retarded.
A leaked copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 which is a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops which is a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which is a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been sold on eBay for $1,725.
So he payed $1,725 to play a shit game a few days early and get his account banned. gg
Why not just wait instead of paying a shitload more for something that might not even work after launch?
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same[/QUOTE] If I spent 2 grand on nothing but gummy worms that expire in 4 days, would I not be an idiot?
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same[/QUOTE] its not important what game it was, paying 1725$ for a game that will be released in a few days is pretty fucking stupid
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same[/QUOTE] To be fair, both of those are (would be?) primarily singleplayer games. They might both be time locked as well though. I'd imagine he won't be able to play MW3 early because of activation or something so he effectively got scammed.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;33120680]If I spent 2 grand on nothing but gummy worms that expire in 4 days, would I not be an idiot?[/QUOTE]Not really? If he gets pleasure out of playing it 4 days early and doesn't regret it how is it bad exactly?
Pretty sure flashing the firmware on his dvd drive, downloading the game on the internet, buying a DL dvd, and burning the damn thing would be cheaper. (Assuming this was bought on the 360, does it say?) Anyways that IGN article also said that[sp]the game actually depicts a child getting killed.[/sp] Lol.... Edit: Shit, sorry to those of you read that, my first spoiler fail.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;33120680]If I spent 2 grand on nothing but gummy worms that expire in 4 days, would I not be an idiot?[/QUOTE] Well, you'd be fat, but I wouldn't call a connoisseur of gummy worms an idiot.

[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120717]Not really? If he gets pleasure out of playing it 4 days early and doesn't regret it how is it bad exactly?[/QUOTE] because he payed 2 grand for a thing thats going to be 60$ in 4 days, its fucking retarded.
[QUOTE=Juniez;33120785][video=youtube;X6VbeJ10FFg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6VbeJ10FFg[/video] surprise[/QUOTE] Wait, was it not blocked when you posted that? If it wasn't then it is now...
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;33120680]If I spent 2 grand on nothing but gummy worms that expire in 4 days, would I not be an idiot?[/QUOTE]You'd be a sweet idiot.
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same[/QUOTE] Its not that its CoD, its that he wasted good fucking money on shit. He could have purchased ANY unreleased game, my opinion of him would remain exactly the same.
Should've spend it on Serious Sam 3 BFE...
[QUOTE=GlebGuy;33120845]Should've spend it on Serious Sam 3 BFE...[/QUOTE] That would still be extremely retarded.
While I understand that he may be a fanatic but paying 1.7k for a game that will retail for 60usd several days later as well as risking a ban is plain retarded. And assuming ""Delivery:Estimated within 3-4 business days" [U$ 1.725,00] Day purchased: november 03, 2011. [U$ 59,99] Day launched: november 08, 2011. Day delivered: november 09, 2011 LMAO "
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;33120535]It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. If this was Skyrim or Episode 3 or something everybody wouldn't be the same[/QUOTE] spending that much on any video game is retarded.
[QUOTE=J!NX;33120854]That would still be extremely retarded.[/QUOTE] At least he'd get a game that's focused on the Campaign instead of Multiplayer.
what a very generous person parting with that cash for so little return
