[Amusing] Pay 90, get 9010 back. Oh yeah, no game for one kid too.

"The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii gameboard."

GAMEBOARD

This article surely has to be a joke, for a few reasons. First of all, most sane parents would just punish their kids but not sell their christmas presents. Second of all, why would anyone in their right mind pay so much money for a copy of Guitar Hero?

Don't answer that, it was rhetorical. I'm calling fake on this entire article, there's practically zero games worth $9000 out there. A few thousand yeah, not OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Guitar hero 3 is sold out in every retail store in the U.S and impossible to find online as well. Only way to get a copy before christmas is to either use Ebay or constantly visit a store every morning, everyday or waste money on the PC version.Add the fact that America is filled to the brim with moral crusaders who swim in money. This story is very believable.

"The sale was a boon for the family's bank account, since the game the father purchased for 90 dollars (US) was finally sold to an Australian who plunked down 9,100 dollars for it."

Australian. Aussies pay the same price for games as New Zealanders (hence the link, thus cutting your latter sentence to shreds). Guitar Hero III isn't worth 9000 dollars, nor are most games. It isn't rare or hard to find in Aus/NZ at all, so there's no reason why someone would pay that.

So, why would you?

Nice try though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah seriously, I find it seriously unlikely that Guitar Hero III is that popular that it's sold out COMPLETELY around America and Canada.

Actually, to prove you wrong on this (yikes), it's available from different American/Canadian online stores, and Play-Asia gets them in all the time. So really, going out of your way just to make me look bad has not only failed, but backfired. Not only was the "buyer" Australian (but, hey, way to needlessly diss Americans), not only is the game not rare, not omega popular, and not worth $9000, but you can purchase it anywhere fucking else with or without the controller for a helluva lot cheaper.

But, hey, I find it funny that someone is actually dumb enough to think that someone legitimately purchased a Wii game for $9000US. All those ebayed PS3 consoles that sold for $3000+ were legit purchases too, hey, right?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
