Expensive Picture

[Guest]

Here's one hot off the press: an unwary eBayer appears to have just paid £470 for what he or she obviously thought was an "XBOX 360 PREMIUM PACKAGE":

Ebay Auction

Please read the last few lines in the item description, OUCH........

The Xbox 360 console will be the first next-gen console released and will fuse powerful hardware, software, and services to provide a dramatic leap forward in high-definition gaming and entertainment experiences. This auction is not for a Xbox 360 game system, but instead a picture of one. I hope you enjoy this high-quality item. The 360 is the hottest thing on the market.

The name of the bidder on trueblue's auction is interesting, though...

I suppose it isn't fraud per se - but isn't in the right spirit.
