FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS! IT MUST BE RARE!

Saw this auction in e-bay...

I haven't seen this in any of the threads ( or may have missed it). But THIS surely will rock you!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Playstation-3-PS3-M ... 286.c0.m14

If I can afford this, I really don't care if it's a modified PS3 (damn kick ass good one if I may add!). But if it was signed by Kojima, it does make it a LEGIT rare collectible!

My bet, this will reach a $1000 + sell...

i think its cool, a nice one off modification with proceeds of 15% going to childs play. that's cool, with the pricetag on it now, hopefully it's already paid for the cost to make it, plus the 15% to childs play.

LOL

$1625? Fuck that. I don't have that kind of scratch right now.

....
.......

Even if I did, I wouldn't drop over $1000 on anything MG. Unless it was the Rex or Ray. To whoever gets it though, I will be jealous.

Wow man, you disappoint me! :mrgreen:

How can you pass on this SIGNED item??? :mrgreen:

Don't sweat it bro... For me you're still "THE" authority on all MGS related sealed and signed items! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

OR maybe I'm throwing you guys a curveball and I'll snipe it last second....

:/

Heh, no I definately won't. It's funny though, I keep an amazing record of Kojima signatures that catalog his tendencies/styles at the time, his placement on certain items (depending on the item and time of event), pens used at various signings, etc. I have an amazing list of things to look for to confirm a signatures legitimacy. There's alot of things to look for, and I know what to look for depending on the signing event/meeting.

However, I can't share the information with people. It's basically almost a "how to" on forging a signature. I know many tipoffs of a legit/fake. Best I can say is if someone wants my opinion on a signed item I can give them a solid yes/no (IMHO) but I can't really explain why.

Ugh...now I'm thinking of how to get the funds together to get this...heh....

Mostly just kidding, but I check out the item page like every 5 mins just to see it. I at least hope niyachan wins it.

I happen to agree whitetrashshayno, it has too much going on. We have a word for that in Spanish "naco", but we can respectfully call it baroque.

I agree about the controller. It's awful, but the system is just amazing. I like the inside of the case as well (not so much the outside though).

ok as much as I said I liked this

$4050 is fucking retarded. Some people have way too much money. For that price it's a piece of garbage.

For $1500 it's completely off the hook.

Maybe if no one buys it then it will go down in price.
