This is a rare case where the high price was actually justifiable.

It had better be made of unobtanium at that price.

Unobtainium is unobtainable, hence the name.  Therefore it cannot exist. Fuckin' James Cameron.

The reason rich people keep getting richer is that they can buy stuff like this, which will only accrue in value.  Since I am a middle-class guy that wishes he could have these games to play, that makes me upset!

I love the picture showing the $29.99 price tag. I need Marty Mcfly (or the guy from california in the other thread) to go back and get me about a dozen. Talk about return on investment.

but wasn't the name coined by the retarded marines?  They could have called it Sandwichtainium if they wanted.

It was perfectly obtainable to the big bluefolk who werent n00bs while exploring the forests of Pandora.

TANGENT: Back in the day, I would never have believed that a TG-16 game would be worth more than $40 in 2010.

Yes, but James Cameron controlled the thoughts of all the space marines.  One of the worst names for anything ever.

Guy started his auction at 99 cents.  He got what the market was willing to pay.

Agreed.  Nothing justifies paying this much for a video game.  I don't care if there's only one in existence; it's a piece of fucking plastic.

Don't be silly. Marines don't think.
