BLOG—A new auction on Ebay promises friendship on Xbox Live for one lucky high bidder.
Sure Xbox Live offers a community environment where players can revel in video game bliss alongside their digital buddies, but what if you have no friends? Well a new auction by Ebay user Nismofrontier07 gives you the chance to rectify that dismal social situation.
For the low opening of 99 cents, Nismofrontier07 offers up the oh-so-tempting promise of “a great new best friend.”
“We can play games together in a room and chat. I will play with you more then just Halo 3, any games I have that you have, we can play together as well. We can use the chat option and message each other back and fourth” [sic].
Not only that, but if the auction reaches over $1,500.99, Nismofrontier07 will throw in an unopened Halo 3 game that he himself has signed, just in case he becomes famous someday.
Tempted bidders can place their marks here, but they’d better hop to it: bidding ends Saturday.
