Custom "PS3", Gran Turismo "5" Hits eBay

eBay cancelled the auction apparently because he was advertising to sell upgraded tape for an additional price (that they could not collect fees from), so it has been relisted:

I think its equivalent to a 360 and it's power brick together.

So, even with two old consoles duct-taped together, does anyone know if this is less likely to burst into flame than a store-bought PS3? Or if it's smaller?

No! I was biding on it. (yeah, I know it was a PSone and a PS2).

Well, it went past $150, which is the most I was bidding anyway.

Interestingly, I'm blocked by my employer's firewall from going to that website because it's categorized as "criminal skills." I'm not sure what it means, but it's funny as long as the IT people don't give my supervisor a call to inquire about my browsing habits.

Nintendo 128? Nintendo WiiWii? Nintendo QS (quadscreen). The possibilities never end!

Seriously, the PS3 picture stayed up, but this gets yanked? As if eBay wasn't evil enough already.

"I was reading the questions being asked to the seller in the auction:

Q: Do you have plans to release a Playstation 6 in the future?

A: No, that's just ridiculous. I'm not made of duct tape."

LMFAO, made my day.

I think we should spam "Mr D. Snoop"'s email with fake bank accounts. With any hope, he's gonna try them all.

A: I would prefer if I could just pay you to take it. I await your swift reply.

I wonder if the Nigerians thought that good spelling/grammar and plausible names would actually work against their ploy.

Yeah, it's awesome except for the fact that GT4 is now permanently in the PS2. Who am I kidding would anyone WANT to play anything else?

I would think that if Sony's PR people even sniffed this story they would be trying to put a positive spin on it as with every other bocthed move made so far, with so much sh*t flying around and with Stringer running his mouth they wouldn't know any diffrent. From the looks of it with a PS2 "on board" we should be able to "JaCK inTo thE MaTrix" and will get to also make great use of the emotion engine.
