Be My (Xbox Live) Friend?
By Valentine • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: Editorials
You think you’ve seen it all in eBay? An Xbox Live gamer, lilperiwinkle, put up an eBay bid titled: Halo 3 Xbox Live Friendship 360. The goal is to get people to bid to add her in their Xbox Live friends list. The current bid is now at $20 and it ends tomorrow, Dec 7th.
So if you’re one of many people (like me) who don’t have many Halo 3 friends in Xbox live, I say take a chance and bid! If I had the money right now I would! Just for the chance to unlock achievements and hidden skulls! What a steal!
“This friendship will include: talking on XBOX live, Playing Halo 3, messaging, I can help you with unlocking achievements- finding hidden skulls. Also you will get a signed picture of me playing halo 3. This is a once and a lifetime deal- Hey maybe we can even level up together!”
I know what you’re thinking…”I don’t want to give money to some complete stranger on eBay!” Think again… this is for a good cause. The money will help fund her knee surgery since she tore her meniscus and has no health insurance to cover her surgery. In lue of this new discovery that friends list spots can be auctioned off, the staff at Difference in Opinion has decided to create 8 gamertags to auction off for friend’s spots. We are looking to raise money for a Farrari children’s orphanage.
Note: This editorial was written in a tone of sarcasm. We do not suggest you bid, and find it hard to believe that a friends list spot could pay for knee surgery, unless her name begins with Major and ends with Nelson. We are not actually creating 8 gamertags to auction off to an orphanage, although that would be a good cause. Moral of the story, you are better off placing your money left over from rent into one of those Salvation Army buckets than bidding to be able to have a girl show you where the skulls are in Halo.

It was up to $92 then last time I checked. If I could get $92 for every spot on my friends list, that would be like… $9200, maybe that Ferrari isn’t as far off as we thought…
$92??? Wow, a few more $s and she can finally get Rockband for Christmas!
The auction is over. The final selling price was $107.50. Now lets get that number and multiply it by 100, then multiply that by 100 with the Friend of Friends. Anyone up for making a million bucks on eBay?
