Sorry i didnt get a word of that. People won them on auctions in japan? How did the sellers get hold of them. I do want one yes but also the red gamecube is looking pretty decent aswell. Any word on its release?

[importaku]

Let me explain.

There was a competition run by a japanese games magazine (Dengeki i think) the prize was these beautiful consoles they could only be won they were not for sale i think there were only 100 or 1000 made i cant quite remember.

Either way the lucky winners have decided to sell their prizes on yahoo japan.

[g-funk]

How much have they been going for?

Let me explain.

and at the price of a house i am certain. My god it does look incredible. I want one

[Sasuke]

That's just taunting that is

[importaku]

there are about 5 on yahoo japan and they are going on average for 100,000 yen.

Yes thats right one hundred thousand yen but there is one at 75,000 and one for 24,000

[Ginza]

Well slap me up and call me Josephine.

24,000 Yen = 131.566 GBP
75,000 Yen = 411.145 GBP
100,000 Yen = 548.128 GBP

Now i would spend 24,000 yen without a doubt but 100,000 are you absolutely crazy ?

Edit : Thoseofthe brings up some very good points. If on the off chance i could get hold of them then maybe the collector in me would make me cough up because as you say theres only 150 in the world.

I wouldnt pay ?1000 for a console thats only difference from a ?100 cube is the colour.

[ThoseOfTheUnlight]

100,000 yen is actually a very good price for one of these.... only 150 made, werent available to buy.

Watch them hit ?1000 sterling very soon...

sadly yahoo japan has a nasty feature.

On ebay its the highest bidder at the end of the auction.

On yahoo japan they have a feature called auto extend so you could win the auction and it ends, then someone places a bid after the auction and it then restarts so if people keep on bidding the auction it will continue to run.

So... The auction carries on going until there have been no bids made in a 48hour period for instance? Seems like a good way of ridding the world of those sniper bastards. *ahem*

BTW: Leeds has the Mill Hill arcade - which is 10x better than anything else I've seen in the past 8 years. Considering I've only ever seen dance machines and shooting/racing games in all that time.

[importaku]

yeah thats about right, the auction keeps going as long as people keep biding

[Mayhem]

I thought it was if a bid was placed in the last 5 minutes of the auction, then the auction extends by another 10 minutes?

[importaku]

Your correct 10 mins sounds right , i couldnt remember how long it extends for.

[marcus]

Bah, just wait 4-5 years for that pearly white to turn to a sickly yellow :P

Yes Im jealous.
