Who in the HELL was insane enough to buy this game for 9k?

This is one of the big differences between our culture today and yesteryear. The premium of entertainment and machines is out of skew in comparison to the importance of other variables in life. Do I like playing video games? Yes, in moderation. Would I ever spend more than list price for a video game or system? Not on your life.

He's not going to get 90k.

This story was highly publicized on many gamer sites, it was bid up due to the publicity. I doubt he'll actually collect it.
