    Hacked?

    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?

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

    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

    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 . . . .

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

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

    Now you've gone and done it

    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

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

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

    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...)

    Seems entirely reasonable...

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

    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!

    Go

    No shortage

    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!).
