This crystal-clad PS3 seems strangely phony

Chock this one up to some weird collector who doesn't mind spending several thousand dollars on what is most likely a 40GB PS3 with a few cheap crystals in a separate container or glued on with rubber cement.
Either this is the most random fake eBay auction regarding PS3's to date, or someone really is able to
commission a PS3 to be decked out with Swarovski crystals. Either way, you should at least watch the bid to see if someone actually buys it. We can all laugh at them, then cry when we see they have a PS3 carved from a single, gigantic crystal.

So, apparently, the listing from ebay say it has the Gekko processor, which was placed in the Nintendo GameCube...

Wow, a rhinestone covered PS3... but if you read the fine print: **NOT BOGUS -DO NOT READ FAKE REVIEWS-CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE SERIOUS-THANK YOU ... Commissioning this one off peice for yourself, a friend, to sell on, or to be put on display. commission time takes 2-5 months depending on sourcing, labour and parts and desired speed of production collect in person, or can be shipped This is exclusive, paypal immediate transfer only.**
If you cannot discern the smell of 'rip-off' on this, then you deserve to lose 30 - 70,000 lbs. (Uhm, I mean pounds!) =D

Hey, you may want to take this down now, the entire sale has come off eBay altogether.
