eBay Xbox 360 bids reach $10,000+

Xbox 360 ebay $10,000

The likeliness of a frenzied (and faked) Xbox 360 shortage in the US has increased greatly now, with a pre-order Xbox 360 deal going past $10,000 on eBay. The chances of a scared hardcore gamer legitimately bidding above ten thousand dollars just to get an Xbox 360 at launch are not worth thinking about. So we're leaning towards this auction being either: a bunch of fake bids mocking a high starting price, or another viral marketing scheme intended to scare punters into pre-ordering an Xbox 360.

It's impossible to imagine that someone would be stupid enough to pay the equivalent price of a car just to guarantee an Xbox 360 at launch. If you're still desperate to get an Xbox 360 at launch, then read our 5 step plan for global domination about why the Xbox 360 shortage is faked. Basically the plan goes: sit and wait for launch day, then try and find one from a store. In the meantime, leave your credit card alone!
