Nothing like setting your sites high then eh?

Hacked?

Paris Hilton

According to the auction, it has DVD playback. By default this isn't a feature on the Wii, yet...

So, has it been hacked or is the seller just being a numpty?

Also, just to get it in, what does Paris Hilton have to say on the matter?

or 'sights' for that matter... <rolls eyes>

Oh look, he's given his phone number too!

There's a phone number in the listing. Anyone phoned it yet?

And congratulations for shoe-horning a Denise Richards reference in there. We need more of those, please. And pictures. Yes.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Gotta love whoever came up with the name for that console.

Beyond that the kids got balls, and decent spelling, I think old Bill should throw some money his way.

He can tell melinda he just bought some wiiiiii for her.

I'm off . . . .

Um...yes

I know that. Thats what you get for not concentrating while you type. Ha.

Bargain! 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 16:08 GMT

I wouldn't like to service the PayPal fees on that one...

I can see what you mean 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 16:09 GMT

£10 postage is a rip off

Brand New 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 16:16 GMT

I love the fact that it's "Brand New" yet has "8 months warrenty with it as i bought it July this year" and "has only been used a handfull of times."

splendid!

this is so tired 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 16:17 GMT

in fact, it leaves me with a sense of "enn-wii".

Denise Richards - Showing your age arent you, she hasn't been any mans fantasy woman for at least 10 years!

Cheap git...

...he isn't even throwing in free postage!

Wendy Richards

Even Wendy Richards was once eye-candy, maybe still even now for some...

I thought the Way-aye was the first console from Newcastle.

Reduced Price!

Its only half a mill now.

I agree with Craig tho, postage still a rip off

Now you've gone and done it 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:06 GMT

Stop

He's obviously read some of the comments and had enough of the piss taking. He's now dropped the price to a more reasonable £500.000.00 :/

I don't get it 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:10 GMT

Unhappy

It's still better value than the Kindle or the iPhone. Why the sneering?

Looks like there's a sale on. 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:15 GMT

The price has since been slashed to a mere £500,000. What a bargain!

Check again ... 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:18 GMT

Dead Vulture

Looks like he's lowered his expectations ..... 500'000 now ...

wow .. heh ... just wow

lowered price 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:20 GMT

Hes Lowered the Price to a fantastic £500k

Wow

Phil

He has found the error of his ways...

Letting the side down 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:27 GMT

Paris Hilton

Letting poor old Paris down aren't we by having a Denise Richards angle instead!!!

Don't call that number... 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 17:34 GMT

...unless you've got any 'quires'.

He doesn't specify whether he means it in the sense of 1/20 of a ream of paper, or an archaic variation of 'choir', so you're probably good with either (though just to be on the safe side you might want to give each chorister a couple of dozen sheets of A4...)

ROFL

this price is so high as i've sold it outside of ebay so i dont want anyone to bid for it because i cant cancel it.

Do not ring me!!!!!!!! <-- wonder how many calls he's had, dropped the price to a mere £1500 now

Blooming Ridiculous 

Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 19:21 GMT

Unhappy

Wanted to speak to him about it, been on ring back for hours but I suspect the phone is off the hook....

Well annoyed as I was going to find out if he wanted to accept a higher offer.......

Seems entirely reasonable... 

Posted Friday 23rd November 2007 00:10 GMT

...after all, he'd only need to sell three or four to afford the base model PS3...

Tredegar ...nuff Said

Joke

Hes a lad from tredegar in the Heart of the Welsh Vallies...They are easily confused by this kind of stuff up there....You knows it Clart!!!

1500 pounds now... 

Posted Friday 23rd November 2007 12:58 GMT

He's dropped the price to 1,500GBP now, and said that it's been sold outside of Ebay. He also says that he can't cancel the auction, so please don't bid and please don't call him!

No shortage 

Posted Tuesday 4th December 2007 12:25 GMT

Go

Well there are piles and piles of the things here in the shops in Vienna. 250 EUR a throw and, apart from the plug, identical to the uk model. Unfortunately I only have space to ship one back and its spoken for (at cost, more fool me!).
