Comments on ‘eBayer punts Wii for £1m’

Haha 

Thumb Up

Nothing like setting your sites high then eh?

Hacked? 

Paris Hilton

According to the auction, it has DVD playback. By default this isn't a feature on the Wii, yet...

So, has it been hacked or is the seller just being a numpty?

Also, just to get it in, what does Paris Hilton have to say on the matter?

@ M Brown 

Stop

or 'sights' for that matter... <rolls eyes>

Oh look, he's given his phone number too! 

Heart

There's a phone number in the listing. Anyone phoned it yet?

And congratulations for shoe-horning a Denise Richards reference in there. We need more of those, please. And pictures. Yes.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 

Coat

Gotta love whoever came up with the name for that console.

Beyond that the kids got balls, and decent spelling, I think old Bill should throw some money his way.

He can tell melinda he just bought some wiiiiii for her.

I'm off . . . .

Um...yes 

Coat

I know that. Thats what you get for not concentrating while you type. Ha.

Bargain! 

I wouldn't like to service the PayPal fees on that one...

I can see what you mean 

£10 postage is a rip off

Brand New 

I love the fact that it's "Brand New" yet has "8 months warrenty with it as i bought it July this year" and "has only been used a handfull of times."

splendid!

this is so tired 

in fact, it leaves me with a sense of "enn-wii".

Demise Richards 

Denise Richards - Showing your age arent you, she hasn't been any mans fantasy woman for at least 10 years!

Cheap git... 

...he isn't even throwing in free postage!

Wendy Richards 

Heart

Even Wendy Richards was once eye-candy, maybe still even now for some...

I thought the Way-aye was the first console from Newcastle.

Paging Dr Evil 

Coat

Dr Evil, your Wii is ready... One Million dollars.

He's abiviously taking the... 

Coat

...wii

Reduced Price! 

Its only half a mill now.

I agree with Craig tho, postage still a rip off

Now you've gone and done it 

Stop

He's obviously read some of the comments and had enough of the piss taking. He's now dropped the price to a more reasonable £500.000.00 :/

I don't get it 

Unhappy

It's still better value than the Kindle or the iPhone. Why the sneering?

Looks like there's a sale on. 

The price has since been slashed to a mere £500,000. What a bargain!

Check again ... 

Dead Vulture

Looks like he's lowered his expectations ..... 500'000 now ...

wow .. heh ... just wow

lowered price 

Thumb Up

Hes Lowered the Price to a fantastic £500k

Wow

Phil

He has found the error of his ways... 

now at 50% off

Letting the side down 

Paris Hilton

Letting poor old Paris down aren't we by having a Denise Richards angle instead!!!

Don't call that number... 

...unless you've got any 'quires'.

He doesn't specify whether he means it in the sense of 1/20 of a ream of paper, or an archaic variation of 'choir', so you're probably good with either (though just to be on the safe side you might want to give each chorister a couple of dozen sheets of A4...)

ROFL 

Thumb Up

this price is so high as i've sold it outside of ebay so i dont want anyone to bid for it because i cant cancel it.

Do not ring me!!!!!!!! <-- wonder how many calls he's had, dropped the price to a mere £1500 now

Blooming Ridiculous 

Unhappy

Wanted to speak to him about it, been on ring back for hours but I suspect the phone is off the hook....

Well annoyed as I was going to find out if he wanted to accept a higher offer.......

Seems entirely reasonable... 

...after all, he'd only need to sell three or four to afford the base model PS3...

Tredegar ...nuff Said 

Joke

Hes a lad from tredegar in the Heart of the Welsh Vallies...They are easily confused by this kind of stuff up there....You knows it Clart!!!

1500 pounds now... 

He's dropped the price to 1,500GBP now, and said that it's been sold outside of Ebay. He also says that he can't cancel the auction, so please don't bid and please don't call him!

No shortage 

Go

Well there are piles and piles of the things here in the shops in Vienna. 250 EUR a throw and, apart from the plug, identical to the uk model. Unfortunately I only have space to ship one back and its spoken for (at cost, more fool me!).

Q & A

How can I free 'hidden' hard drive capacity?

I've seen drives that offer 120GB and others that offer 160GB, yet both have one platter and two read/write heads. So, are they identical?

Acer Aspire One: the new sub-laptop to beat?

Early reviews of Acer's £220 Aspire One were none too complementary about its build quality, but have spent a brief time with a unit that's not a pre-production model, we'd say Eee PC creator Asus has a real challenge on its hands.
