Try as they might, it just doesn't look like Microsoft can keep a tight lid on Halo 3. Internal beta testers leaking videos, unauthorized people playing the epsilon, and now, actual copies of the game being sold on eBay. According to a listing on the auction site, a seller by the name of aaron9198 sold the game to b1onict0wel for the low, low price of AU $149 (US $123). The images of the game seem fairly genuine and we can only conclude that the seller didn't quite realize what he had on his hands. It's clear that he knew he was offering players the chance to play the game early, but it's not so clear that he understood just how much they'd be willing to pay for the opportunity. Considering people are already paying more for the Legendary Edition, aaron9198 probably could have set the "Buy It Now" price just a little bit higher. As the first bidder, we're betting b1onict0wel has a good understanding of the game's worth, and it wouldn't surprise us if flips his prize right back on eBay.
Whatever b1onict0wel does with it, it's time for us to be jealous. Join us, won't you?
