    Surely Ebay wouldn't allow the sale of illegitimately obtained goods...

    I would love to meet the tool who paid £1700+ for a copy of the game...which will probably have the serial key deactivated anyways!

    Some people shouldn't be allowed air...

    Best Buy - £30ish.
    LOOOL, Someone paid $1725 for the game!

    In other news, the armed robbers were playing Modern Warfare 2 before they got into action although unconfirmed reports say that it may have been Battlefield 2 instead.

    Cool Re: News - 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 stolen in armed robbery

    So, I went eBay searching for who was the person who paid $1725.
    The sales figures I found just blew the $1725 figure to smithereens!

    £30,715ish


    £7,559ish



    If only I had a early copy of MW3, I would have been a millionaire by now!

    No one is really paying that much for it. Just people taking the piss by bidding so high.

    "celebrities" if you can call them that generally get things like this for free, so personally I think IronWarrior is right on the money so to speak! lol
