    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.
