http://www.devicemag.com/2011/11/04/modern-warfare-3-sells-for-over-1000-on-ebay/ I know this is old, hence the reason I'm not posting this in current events. But I found this recently, another one sold for over $9,000 with four different bidders before it came out. Seeing the screenshot of the auction myself, despite it saying it'll be overnight shipping, it's still four dollars for three to five day delivery. Which would land it on launch day. So I'm curious, would you spend a lot of money to play a game early and why? How much? Personally, I wait for the used games mostly unless it's something I really want. I would try to sell a copy that I got on Ebay early because I would pay off my school loans with it, but that's just me.
