In just 4 1/2 hours from the time of this writing, someone will be
the proud owner of a 6-foot tall fiberglass
replica of everyone's favorite Halo protagonist, Master Chief. So far, the winning bid is $880 (plus $200 more for
shipping), so only the diehard need apply. ESA's Nite to Unite auction now spans 116 different items, and here are the
auction items that will be giving away the most money to charity:
-
$3,850 for an NVIDIA "Ultimate Aspiring Filmmaker PC & MORE!" - a pretty decked-out desktop that also includes a camcorder, surround sound system, a nice flat-screen monitor, and "LucasArts games …for when you need to take a break."
-
$2,425 for a Microsoft Xbox 360 signed by Bill Gates, himself (although the description implies that Mr. Gates is signing a Gift Certificate for the console as opposed to the console itself…).
-
$2,025.01 for the previously mentioned Lucas-autographed lightsaber
-
$2,000 for the two tickets to E3, hotel, and Nintendo party (the same package that includes the Sony party, oddly enough, is only going for $560)
-
$1,225.01 for a Microsoft Xbox 360 kiosk (Xbox 360 not included)
It looks as though this auction will easily spawn over $20,000 for charity, and if you have a big heart, a big wallet, and a big desire to own Master Chief, you better start bidding soon!
