There are people out there willing to shell out good money for just a special edition console package. Many Xbox One holders have put their 'day one' packages on auction at eBay, some even at the same price as the console.
It's funny and surprisingly true that some of the Xbox One holders, who got their 'day one' consoles, are putting up the limited edition packaging on auction at eBay, reports Kotaku.
Maybe the sellers are hopeful that the buyers will not notice it is just the packaging or the buyers are so thrilled with the offer that they are plain forgetting to read the fine print, which does mention that it is 'empty'. Some of the bidding is going as high as the cost of the console and there are many online watching the show or participating. But the whole exercise does reveal that people are plain mad about anything associated with 'day one' releases or just gullible.
Gamers are always anxious to get their hands on the limited edition early bird consoles as they come with many bonus features('Day One' achievements) and add-ons that makes the deal a very lucrative one for the buyers, after all who does not want to have extra?
The 'day one' Xbox One extras included codes that could be downloaded and redeemed on Xbox One live. There were numerous other features tagged along with the Xbox One, priced between $30 and $60. Alongside the bonus features the console was accompanied by a branded controller, reveals Gamestop.
The online auction site, eBay has also come up with exclusive offers on Black Friday. The offers commence on Thanksgiving morning (8 AM PST) and will continue through Cyber Monday. There are attractive discounts available on a wide range of products, from toys to clothing. More items will be added to the catalogue as the old ones are sold out, according to Huffington Post. Each of the items come along with free shipping and a non-negotiable price tag.
