    This is all stupid Meg Whitman's fault. How stupid do you have to be to pay billions for a company that you don't get the rights to their key asset? That's like buying Coke without their secret formula or KFC without the Colonel's secret recipe.

    And now that idiot is running for office?

    "Unfortunately for Nintendo (and Sega, really), the partnership broke up and Sony went and created the PlayStation, which promptly conquered the world."

    Weren't Nintendo the one's who ended the partnership after some disagreements over money?

    That thing is weird looking, but theres something to old consoles that I feel good about. Could be the old electronics and design to them. Or that I feel closer to my childhood whenever I see them.

    Back then, game consoles had this mysterious aura to them. The games were fun and could be played for long periods of time, over and over. You could feel the hardwork and long hours put into them.

    How I miss the SEGA days. Jewel Master was one of the best games for it, besides the Sonic series of course. Road Rash was hilariously good at that age.

    The "SEGA CD" was very strange, albeit a pretty cool add-on. Never owned one, but would always marvel at it's beauty in those old school gaming magazines.

    I'm a bit upset that SEGA exited the console industry. I loved the SEGA Saturn, with games like Nights and Panzer Dragon. The SEGA Dreamcast was damn cool IMHO, and I absolutely loved Jet Grind Radio.

    Well I went off topic a bit, but couldn't help myself.

    How I despise nostalgia.

    My SCAM radar is beeping like crazy!

    This is guy may be legit (who knows) but since this got posted in the blog-o-sphere there are guys with little/no feedback that are bidding the shit out of it just for fun and will never pay.

    Either way nobody wins. Lame.

    I was looking for accessories for my Zune HD the other day on ebay and actually saw this ad. Anyone who would pay that much for something like that is either crazy or terribly uninformed, sheesh. I hope there is some shenanigans involved in this and they get busted.

    eBay should really not let MSFT bid on their own stuff. This is clearly MSFT bidding on something they posted for sale. Can we say shill bidding? Clearly against eBay rules.

    No international bidders

    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION

    No international bidders, but perhaps an international seller is at work. It's weird how this screams scam because of grammatical errors.

    Haha, now a couple of those bids got retracted! "Explanation: Entered wrong amount"

    Whatever...the guy realized everyone was calling BS so he quickly logged into his faked bidding accounts and retracted the overlyzealous bids.

    Or it really was a mistake...we will never know!!!!

    As of 12:33pm EDT, that auction is up to $10,000. I mean, I know fanboys will spend money they really shouldn't spend to get limited-edition stuff like this, but come on...

    "Now, whether that "something" lasts for the long run—especially with a definitive lack of apps–is another thing"

    Don't you guys think your attitude towards anything that competes with Apple is getting a little bit out of hand?

    LMAO!

    Look at the seller's history - all they sell is Zunes.

    It's probably MS trying to get some viral 'cool' factor going via FleaBay.

    You're going to feel such a tool if you buy one of these now, then find them for $50 in Walmart's bargain bin next year.

    Your way of expressing your opinion is very vitriolic.If fanboyism is your choice of lifestyle ,its obv is not my problem but this post is not even remotely related to apple right so why spread the hate? Some guy is probably pulling off a con job at ebay so just have a laugh and forget about it.

    @Aashish Bhagyanagar: FWIW

    Firstly - I never even mentioned Apple.

    Secondly - you're being way too sensitive

    Thirdly - you're the one going around calling people retards and making personal attacks instead of commenting on the topic of the original post.

    BTW, if you spend less time trolling on gadget blogs you might be able to use that free time to get a job and possibly buy that iPhone you've been coveting for so long.
