For those of you unfamiliar with World of Warcraft lore, Frostmourne is the legendary runeblade that stole the soul of Prince Arthas Menethil, causing him to kill his father, shatter The Frozen Throne, and ultimately merge with the Lich King into an uber powerful being, destined to become a raid boss somewhere down the line. Now Epic Weapons is readying the release of the Forstmourne replica, 47 inches of Japanese milled stainless steel, cast metal, and leather. The weapons comes complete with a lovely display mount, a limited edition poster, and an embedded authenticity microchip with a reader to help assure people you didn't make the weapon yourself in your garage. As far as replicas go it isn't cheap, running $379.00, but it's a small price to pay for the sword that completely tore Azeroth a new asshole. Frostmourne is now available for preorder, with a May 1st release date that eerily mirrors a certain Kotaku writer's birthday. *whistles innocently* More »

How much is a really good old game worth to you? What if it was still in it's original shrink wrap? According to eBay, the right game can be worth quite a bit to the right people. A seller is currently hosting an auction for a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo that has shot up to an amazing $420.55. With thirty bidders and a day and a half still left to place bids, something tells me it will go even higher. My question is, what will the winner do with their expensive prize? Will they open it and play with it or will it become a pricey knick-knack that will take up shelf space and no doubt garner the envy of hardcore Chrono Trigger fans. More »

We've all seen some crazy auctions on eBay before. Organs, porn, super rare vintage games, entire gaming collections and overpriced gaming console bundles, but this Wii bundle really takes the cake. How would you feel if I offered to sell you a Wii for a mere $9,876,543.00? Ok, now what if I threw in a fully furnished, two story North Carolina house and a BMW? More »

Every time I think I've gotten my PC to a point where it can hold its own, ExtremeTech has to go and write up another Killer Gaming Rig article. Their latest build is a bargain at $6448, more than $500 less than their last, though I can see a few places where they've scrimped a bit. A $46 mouse? Surely technology has come up for a way to makes us spend much more on mice than we need to. More »
