That tricked out 360 (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7563) we posted about....it's up on EBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Ultra-Premium-Modded-Llamma-Edition_W0QQitemZ8238748332QQcategoryZ62054QQssPag eNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) now from its creator. At the time of writing it's going for over $7,000!! That's pretty sick.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Ultra Premium Modded Llamma Edition. Custom crafted one of a kind with performance enhancements visual modifications and even a storage capacity upgrade. This is truly one of a kind and we just do not have the time to make many of these so if you are the lucky winner, rest assured you will have something special.
That's quite a lot of cash....more than 10x the premium price!

Is it just me, or are they paying 6500 extra dollars for a paint job and a memory upgrade? What kind of person is this blatantly wasteful with their money?

No...it's just for storing MP3s, pictures etc, any standard USB drive can do it.

Wow, this is just fucking sad. All the people in the world who can barely get by or can't get by at all, and some morons are paying $7700 for a modded Xbox.

What are they going to do with it? Brag about it to all their friends in the hope that it increases their penis size?

And it still has 5 days left. 5 DAYS!

It says "with waranty", wouldn't the waranty be voided with a replaced hard drive and the case being opened?

Warranty - with this console we offer a full 90 day from date of purchase just like any other new console. Since this has been opened to perform the mods it no longer has a Microsoft warranty.



It helps to read.

My anal side would like to point out that the Gamecube comes with a one year warrently. The best built of the consoles also has the longest warrenty - funny how that works.

I was wondering about that. If there was no 90 day warranty from the seller, if your 360 overheated and broke you'd be feckin' screwed.

People who have the disposable income or lack of brains to bid on this need to be shot. Seriously, shotgun-to-the-gut-not-insta-kill shot.

I wonder how many of these bids are fake. I can not believe that any one would pay that much for an Xbox360 with a few LEDs and an extra hard drive. There is what, a couple hundred extra bucks in parts there?

Heh, Llamma says they don't have time to make many of these. For some reason, I think they may find the time to do a few more after this...

aversion2K,

I think that the kind of people who are willing to drop that kind of cash on this thing are not the kind of people who need to worry about money. The way I see this is that given my income, I'm willing to drop about $600 on an entertainment device, accessories, and games. That's a little over a week of work for me. If I was an anesthesiologist making an average anesthesiologist's salary of $265,000 a year (About $5,100 a week), I probably wouldn't feel too bad about dropping 8K on my entertainment device.

Not a bad way to look at it I guess....... Wish I was an Anesthesiologist :D

Honestly, that's a damned cool case. I'm not into the whole modding thing, but if you were, I could easily see paying some serious extra cash for one of these.

Still, though, 7K is just stupid.

I would pay some extra cash for that thing too. But I wouldn't back the semi truck up to their door and start shoveling. I'm betting that that 360 will play games as well as any other.

I think it should come with a punching glove attached to a spring and wound up in the disk drive, so the first time you open it it comes out and hits you in the nuts and a recording of someone laughing starts up.

This has to be fake, who in the right mind would pay $7700 for this?

I can't help but think of the recent eBay auction for an "XBOX 360 Problem Fixer mod" which was basically a $4 hammer. Now that was great.

Honestly guys... there are tons of people out there who are just sitting on heeps of cash, with nothing to use it on. So every now and then they see something cool, and they drop some money on it, because otherwise the money would just continue sitting under their ass providing bad back support. I'm not going to fault them for it.

Now if you didn't have m4d ca$h and bought this, then you'd be a dumbass.

2 very famous quotes can also be applied to this:

"Money doesnt buy taste"

and

"A fool and his money deserve to be parted"

I'm just happy ms has a faux-wood replacement face panel.

I almost bought the face plate just so when I buy a 360 in another year I'll have one.

Yeah, if the bid's real you could give up your day job and just sell overpriced 360's to morons. Till the stock comes back in at least.

And Cappy, I'm pretty sure you misquoted, it should be "A fool and his money are easily parted."

I'm going to buy an Xbox 360, break it open, remove all of the internals, and then take a shit in it. Furthermore, I will put up said xbox on eBay for auction and advertise it as:

"with modded internals... what mods? Sorry, can't tell you, its a surprise!".

Then we'll see how many idiots there REALLY are...
