NEWS | $7,500 To Play With Scribe

Some people will do anything to get their hands on the planet’s hottest next-generation gaming console – and this was demonstrated last night, when a mystery bidder at the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre fund-raising auction paid $7,500 for the ultimate ‘big night in’ at the Xbox 360 Room in Auckland.

The bidder will be able to take up to 10 friends to the Xbox 360 Room for an evening of next-generation gaming hosted by New Zealand hip hop stars Scribe, PNC and Con Psy of Frontline, playing some of the latest and Xbox 360 gamess.

Xbox product marketing manager Tom Hunt says, “We know Kiwis love Xbox 360, and this phenomenal bid really proves it.

“We’re pleased to have been involved with the RMTC again in 2006, and we’re absolutely stoked with the auction result for this extremely worthy cause.”

Personally, I think it’s a bit steep for a night out with the boys, but then it is for a very good cause.
