Sarah Palin-Signed Xbox 360 Hits eBay for $1.1M
According to the Huffington Post, an Xbox 360 purportedly autographed by the former Republican Vice Presidential candidate and ex-governor of Alaska was recently re-posted for auction on eBay, at a starting price of $1.1 million. As of Wednesday morning, there were no bids on the item, but fear not, gaming millionaires, you still have about eight days before bidding closes. The proud owner of the system reportedly, and understandably, had difficulty parting with it, and faced several problems listing it, as well. There are also some questions about the legitimacy of the signature itself. The description, as posted by the lister, is as follows:
The infamous Sarah Palin XBOX 360 was autographed at the governors picnic on July 24, 2009, in Wasilla, Alaska, just two days before her resignation as governor of that state. You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012.
That the Xbox actually goes for the asking price, or any price, is probably unlikely, especially given the signature's nebulous authenticity. We do, though, kinda hope it does. Given the fiercely polemic reactions that Palin can evoke, there's a chance some affluent political junkie could find pretty entertaining uses for it. [From: Huffington Post]

the guy is a moron even if it was signed by some video game industry bigwig with ties to the Xbox/360 it wouldn't be worth that much

I would have rather spent $70,000 for the lunch with Palin. Cheaper and I get to meet her.
