If Cheryl Cole had signed it with her arse cheeks, then I'd of given it consideration (had I ever had the money). And it would be worth it.

Sarah Palin? No.

Well, I think most people would of as well.
Also, as a 360 owner, I have to say this.

That's gonna be a hell of an expensive paperweight.

The only reason I'd spend that much on a console is if I can beat her upside the head with it without being arrested. But who wouldn't remortgage their souls for a chance to do that?

If you have 1.1 million dollary doo's you could charter a plane to Alaska find Sarah Palin pay her $50 000 to get her to autograph your x-box and save over $1 million.

Wait, is this one of those first generation 360s? I can understand 1.1 million for the upgraded chipset, but for a RROD prone unit... no fucking way, man. Does that guy think we're fools?

Thats because our politicians are SHIT. (When it comes to drumming up a fanatical fanbase)

Okay...

One: Who wants a signed Xbox for $1.1 million? It better at least come with Prototype.
Two: What's the point?
Three: I can't believe someone bid $1.1 million in the first auction.

How much do you wanna bet it comes with the RROD?

And WHO would want an xbox at hundreds of times the price to have her name on it? I could understand like a whole band or a lead devolper you were a fan of. But a politicain? PASS

Why would you want to see her name whenever you started playing on your 360? I guess it'd make GTAIV more interesting if you thought every woman you ran over was her. But is that worth $1.1million? Man, some people have more money than sense...
I think it's an effigy... you know, when the console inevitably dies, you can pretend she croaked with it. That's about the only logical reason I can see for it.

People still care about Sarah Palin? Seriously?

I mean, she retired from Politics. No one should care about her anymore. She's a quitter and a failure. A source of ire from the Republicans and humour from the Democrats. Her memoirs/autobiography is called "Going Rogue" and apparently is barely written by her at all which kind of defeats the point of making it 'her' autobiography/memoirs.

And "Going Rogue", Mrs Palin? Did you look at the definition of that word before you plastered it on your book? I doubt it, but mostly because I doubt you can even bloody read English.

I'd pay 3 mill if I could run over the real one.

Fixed.

Seriously, that reaches a level of stupidity I haven't dared to imagine since I first heard the woman speak.

Well, personally I think Ebay is in the wrong here. To be entirely honest with you I think they should remain politically neutral, and it seems like this is what amounts to Republican bashing. You didn't have similar issues over resales of autographed copies of the "Spider Man meets Obama" crossover.

Also in general it seems the leanings of those on this site (and arguably most fan sites in general) tends to be pretty far to the left. In general the country is polarized 50-50 and Obama came into power with a 7% lead after two terms of Republican domination. There is neither a *massive* anti-Republican sentiment, nor quite the hatred for Bush some believe there is (he WAS a two term president).

Now truthfully a failed Vice Presidential cantidate doesn't strike me as being any big deal, even with a governorship. It's not like it's the signature of a president or vice president. As such my attitude is pretty "meh" when it comes to someone asking a million dollars for it (and I think the bid was bogus, similar to some of the bids to buy the name to the "Goatse" site via auction once upon a time).

That said, I'm sure she has FAR more fans than many people here would like to admit, not many people even get a shot at running a state, never mind even TRYING for the Vice Presidency. She is hardly a failed politician even with all of the scandals, she's gotten further than well... pretty much everyone outside a very select group of people.

I don't find this inherantly "lulzworthy" but I do think 1.1 million is kind of ridiculous for her autograph. I'd think it would double or triple the standard cost of the X-box tops.
Thank you for a well-reasoned post.

When you click on the link...to the right, and under the sellers name, you will see "Ask a question"...

I suggest everyone click that and just send him a message that simply states "Why?!"

For that kind of loot, one could afford to run a political ad on a major network...that runs only once... at night.
That aside, unless using it for fundraising, the price should have been capped at something a non-captain of industry/politician/the world's biggest celebrities can spare to toss at a game system they may never play.

Anyway, does that machine permanently have its parental controls set to maximum or can one still pal around with terrorists in games like Red Faction on that unit?

I refuse to believe this will get legitiately sold.

If someone that badly wanted to get an autographed xbox, or anything for that matter, by Sarah Palin, it would actually cost them less to pay a visit to her at her office to get it done. Hell, even if you had to pay her the i bet the total cost would still be less than a million bucks.

This guy is unbelieveable.
You say that as-though the guy is doing something unreasonable. He's just selling an X-Box. He isn't forcing people to bid on it. He isn't restricting people from taking a trip to visit Palin to get their own X-Box autographed for a fraction of the cost (though I'd wager that getting a one-on-one meeting with a politician, especially one as famous as Palin, is a lot easier than just going over there and asking nicely). He's just posting an item on eBay.

If anyone is unbelievable, it's the bidders. They're the ones setting the price, not him.

Political nonsense aside, I have a question.

The story says he removed the information about how he got the console, and the circumstances of that removal lead me to believe that was interesting information.

Anyone know where it's still available?
