He just order it on november 4th lol

dat unprecedented demand.

 

[Pumpkincutter]

The best part

I AM SURE CELEBRITIES OR DIE HARD XBOX FANS WOULD LABEL THIS AS PRICELESS, " A GOLDEN TICKET", A ONE-TIME NEVER AGAIN OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS UNRELEASED SYSTEM THAT NOBODY HAS THE ABILITY TO GET THERE HANDS ON UNTIL WORLDWIDE RELEASE OF NOVEMBER 22ND!

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Isn't there a phone app or something that can read bar codes and translate the serial number?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Is it possible to post comments? Someone should really point out that he is selling a pre-launch brick.

 

[The Elite]

Wow.

That looks legit.

There was someone mentioned that Target had sent them one yesterday.

No games have been released yet.

Edit: What an ass for selling it. I'm sure he could do something with it out of the box.

 

[Rocky]

The servers might have the patch up early, no? Or is it confirmed it won't appear until the 22nd? Not that I'm saying being the only person in America downloading the patch early would be a WISE move...

He should add "AND THAT NOBODY HAS THE ABILITY TO PLAY" before the worldwide release part as well. hehe.

 

[xxracerxx]

Good Guy it seems?

His corporation....not a charity or something along those lines....aka his pockets.

I am a special education teacher and the profit from the auction will go toward my corporation to create products for Special Ed students.

 

[legacyzero]

Seller: Be the first and only person in America to own an Xbox One!

America: No thanks, I'll wait.

 

[Drakeon]

(it's funny to me anyway)

Excellent point. Why would anyone buy this if they can't patch it? I guess it'd have to be a sucker who doesn't realize he won't get to play it before the 22nd.

 

[Tsundere]

Not a day one edition? lol

 

[Epcott]

Buy it now for over 9,000? Ha ha holy Raditz that's crazy.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

For humanity's sake, I hope no one buys it.

 

[Toki767]

It's a shame it really can't do anything pre-launch. I bet if it was an early PS4 someone would end up biting for the $1000 starting bid since you can already play games on it without a patch.

 

[Reule]

Target better have those first party PS4 games ready on Tuesday then! :E

Seriously, that's crazy. Too bad you can't do much of anything on it without the update.

 

[SwiftDeath]

10k to sit there and wait for the update to go live. Good deal.

You could always stare at it I guess

 

[Slayer-33]

For humanity's sake, I hope no one buys it.

Whoever does can.

More power to the seller. Got lucky

 

[SRTtoZ]

Don't connect it, you might get banned.

 

[Barzul]

It will get bought, who are we kidding. Not like MS can make him return it.

 

[Damaniel]

$10k BIN price and the guy doesn't even offer free shipping.

Nobody's going to pay that kind of price, so why bother asking?

 

[Valnen]

Something feels really off here. Are we sure this console isn't stolen? The fact that it's not a day one edition is really suspicious to me.

 

[xxracerxx]

It will get bought, who are we kidding. Not like MS can make him return it.

Well it isn't like he can use it for anything.

 

[Guevara]

I guess one of the sites that breaks down consoles might care?

 

[KDash31987]

The whole Day One and Standard thing is confusing. He gets it weeks before launch and it's not even a day one edition?

I'm confused. I thought all Xbox Ones on launch day were day one editions....I mean, it is day ONE.

Not a day one edition? lol

It's a Day -14 Edition, 'duh.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Something feels really off here. Are we sure this console isn't stolen? The fact that it's not a day one edition is really suspicious to me.

Not all launch console are day one editions. I thought this was common knowledge.

 

[adj_noun]

That rainbow vomit of a text wall is sure something else. P.T. Barnum would be proud.

THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS

 

[Hurricane43]

His corporation....not a charity or something along those lines....aka his pockets.

Yep of course buddy...

 

[CrunchinJelly]

well apparently he only ordered it last week.

 

[Rocky]

Could still be stolen from the distribution center. Strange that he blocked out stuff like the ship date and UPS tracking number.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Someone in retail (like at a BestBuy or Gamestop) should be able to scan that serial. The fact that this guy is scamming people kinda pisses me off. And no, I don't buy the 'Do it for the kids'.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Lists item as factory sealed.
Shows pictures of open box.

 

[XaeonBE]

This is just too funny to be true if somebody buys it...

 

[GoofsterStud]

I would be skeptical if this is legit, but not for the previous reasoning.

 

[Lyriell]

"HELLO. Let's do this again sometime."


Sure... in another 8 years I'd take them up on that offer.

[NinjamicWZ]

It's going to sell for the $10k buy it now price and make a nice news headline on people's home pages. That's good marketing eh?

 

[dazzlerazzle]

Somebody ask him if he also provides day 1 firmware update, if not report him for selling broken shit

 

[likedamaster]

0 bids.

lulz

 

[Pops Maellard]

I have to admit I'm extremely tempted. Why, it comes out to only $678 a day for the privilege of owning the system before it releases!

 

[Toki767]

With not being able to use it no less!

 

[rjinaz]

Honestly if this happened to me, I'd do the same thing. Though, I'd go about it differently. For one I'd make sure people knew it was useless until launch. For another, I wouldn't ask 10k for it because that is just crazy town.

 

[JPeeples83]

God bless him if he's able to get someone to spend $10,000 on this.

 

[Pops Maellard]

With not being able to use it no less!

Quite so! Excuse me while I see how much expendable cash I have lying around, this deal is /far/ too good to pass up.

 

[Sendou]

let's do this again sometime.

I wonder if that's referring to PS4.

 

[Darksol]

Don't connect it, you might get banned.

Might? Lol. Will. I hope someone is dumb enough to buy this. Imagine paying ten grand or more to have your console banned by MS.

 

[Soriku]

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety five US dollars.

 

[Brannon]

Exclusive first owner of the most useless hunk of tech for the next two weeks; this experience could be YOURS for the low low price of $10,000!

Why pass up this opportunity? Upscale your status today!

 

[EightBitNate]

Might? Lol. Will. I hope someone is dumb enough to buy this. Imagine paying ten grand or more to have your console banned by MS.

This is an insanely stupid policy. How is it the consumer's fault that the retailer sold it early?

 

[entremet]

This is nothing when the scalpers start doing their thing.
