You Will Want to Bid on This Minecraft-themed Xperia Play



This limited-edition Minecraft phone looks like dirt. Very expensive dirt.

If Mojang vomited all over a Sony Xperia Play, this fancy, dirt block-themed piece of tech would be the result. The Minecraft development team put the phone <a href=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320744355779&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123#ht_894wt_930>up for bid on eBay, promising all proceeds of the auction will go to a charity of their choice. As of right now, it looks like somebody's going to receive a $1,175 check.

Notch and company injected some wit into the auction page, subtly expressing a slight disapproval regarding the past handling of Minecraft gear.

"We've given away some fantastic Minecraft goodies in the past, only to see it cheekily pop up on eBay auctions," user teammojang said. "This time, we thought we'd beat you guys to it, and put our listing up before the Minecraft Xperia Play becomes available to win at Gamescom!"

The Xperia phone is an international model, so the winner will be able to use it anywhere. Bidding ends August 21, so you still have time to sell a kidney or two.

Don't actually do that, please.

I guess I have to decide whether I really need to eat and pay my bills this month.

I bought that skin last week and after a long night of building my new shelter I looked left and saw my phone lying just there.
Can't even take a small beating that thing.

Dangerous skin, would not buy again.

It sucks that people just directly goes to ebay, and I approve of this. Still, I recently bought a smartphone, and chose against the xperia play for a variety of reasons, so I wouldn't recommend spending too much on this.
Also, since the PS3 is pretty much the only system you can't find MC on soon, and that xperia is made by SOny Ericsson, does this mean we'll hear some news soon?
