wow...just wow...i can't believe people bid on this, let alone bid that much! am i missing something here?

how much of a dork/geek/nerd/loser/retard do you have to be to buy that?

is the winner going to go around and say he all that by himself?

is online prestige at games really worth that much?

will this make girls flock to the winner or something?

:confused:

5000 hours spent on the games? By my calculations, the Xbox 360 has only been out for ~8000 hours. That's um.... pathetic.

Edit: Wait, does this go all the way back to when Xbox was released? I don't know much about Xbox Live.

Anyway, how would this guy have the first gamertag? Wouldn't someone in Microsoft have that?

almost all of the bidders have low or no feedback either so maybe they're all joke bids.

They didn't start keeping track of gamer points until the 360 was released.

its not the 1st gamertag, like 1st one created.

he is the top guy in the leaderboards or whatever. at least thats how i assume it. like he's the top player out of everyone.

i wonder why? maybe because it had his account for sale? or maybe it was just full of scammers or fake bidders.

No way in hell will it work out to a decent hourly rate. These $800+ characters, they're probably level 60 right? I know nothing about WoW (except that I think level 60 is the highest), but I HIGHLY doubt you could get to level 60 (or even 20) in a week, and $800 is not a whole ton of money for a week of work.

Ah, I see. That's equally lame.

knowing about the topic at hand is important to replying to it.

I wouldn't dwelve into it, but there is a lot of (against game rules) money to be made.

A guy out there making $125k a month that wants to play a game probably has more money than free time. He wants to maximize his fun time and minimize the grinding/repetitive stuff that happens in these games...so he just buys it and plays at his leisure.
