Also, let's not forget: a standard 40GB PS3 with Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid 4 will cost about $500. Will anyone pay 20 times more to get this rare system?

Someone stupid might. Hopefully they'll electrocute themselves when they plug it in before they get the chance to procreate.
I'm super psyched for MGS 4 and I'm definitely picking up a PS3 for it, but I'd rather do without it entirely than pay that much for it.

Well, they don't unnecessarily have to be stupid. They could be desperate and rich. Or they could live somewhere that they wouldn't normally be able to get one... and be rich.
Regardless, this is outrageous price gouging.

I second #1. This makes me glad to already have the Limited Edition preordered and to have a 60 Gig PS3. Life is good, even though it isn't in gunmetal-gray.

The price of shipping really brings this deal down.

For that price this jerk should hand deliver it in an armored car coated in bubble wrap, bring it into your house while thanking you for being so incredibly stupid.

It's actually made of different plastic and so is the controller. But yeah, paint will give you nearly the same effect.

Ridiculous. Yeah, i'm going to drop 10k on this item when the seller has NO feedback and also says:
"Condition: New; Never worn or Opened"
Never worn? Wasn't aware that it was now a piece of clothing, is the PS3 like a shoe? Or do you attatch a lanyard and wear it round your neck?

To buy this you would have to be an idiot or extremlely rich/desperate lol. The way he has wrote this description is totally unproffessional not to mention the fact that he states it has 4 usb slots and memory card slots, which unless im mistaken dont appear on a 40GB PS3.
He has had no prior experience in selling items, where he says serious feedback only. That doesnt make any sense, if the item is damaged, or not as described, particularly if he says it has 4 usb sockets and memory card readers, people will leave negative or neutral feedback.
In my opinion if you want to make money, buy yourself a normal ps3, then buy a metal gear one but keep it new, in a few years time it could be worth a real fortune. Thats if you have money to spare of course.
