A guy a couple of people ahead of me got a gun metal ps3 signed, I wonder if its the same guy. I had the LE ps3 ordered on konami.com so I just picked up a copy of the game to get signed.

"One truly dedicated Metal Gear fan..."
I really hope that was sarcastic, because it's pretty damn obvious he didn't do this to keep it for himself.

Not sure why anyone would be pissed at this guy. He isn't ripping anyone off. If you don't want it don't buy it. If you actually want it and its worth it to you persoanlly then that person isn't getting ripped off. Supply and demand, it rules the world.
Now if someone didnt want it and was forced or the item was mis repesented then it would be a rip off. Again, it might be worth it to someone so if he buys it of his own free will, nothing is wrong.

Exactly. I think this guy is smart for doing this; he saw an opportunity to make money, pulled through, and now he's jacked up the price because he knows someone will buy it. Nothing wrong with making some money. He's not deceiving anyone; if you're willing to pay a high price for a valuable collector's item, you'll get it. If you're not willing to do that, then don't bid on it.

LOL ... He wasn't even smart enough to get Kojima to sign in Silver?
No thanks.

I wouldn't sell the unit. I would seal it up in a glass cube and wait for it to appreciate. It'll be worth so much more 10 years down the line.

wait.. why is this unacceptable? i agree that the price is pretty crazy. but it's not like Sony/Konami is setting that price. it's some fan selling an autographed system on an auction site. the price will only be as high as someone is willing to pay for it. if nobody feels $5,000 is worth it for an autographed system, it won't sell. easy as that. hardly something to get your panties in a bunch about...

I just checked the Konami website and the limited edition gray PS3 MGS4 bundle is still available. It looks like there's not enough hardcore MGS4 fans in the US to sell the unit out like in Japan. Anyway, I got my PS3 MGS4 80GB bundle with a $100 gift card from wally world (I usually never purchase electronics there, but with that gift card it was the best deal going). I'll be setting it up tonight or tomorrow, Broker here I come !!!
