Black Ops sold early for £200

Are you one of the millions of people looking forward to Call of Duty: Black Ops? If so, just how excited are you? Two people were looking forward to it so much, they were prepared to pay over £200 each to get a copy just a few days early – as these pictures prove.

Somehow, one UK gamer managed to get hold of not just one but two copies of Black Ops for the Xbox 360 to sell on ebay. We’ve hidden his/her ebay ID here, but it will be easy enough for anybody – including Activision – to discover it by searching Completed Listings.

Both copies sold for £200 each and, amusingly (to us at least), £2 postage.

Over four times the RRP to get the game just three or four days before the official release date? They must need the practice for multiplayer, n00bs (please note: this n00bs comment is a joke).
