A copy of 'Super Mario 64' sold for over $1.5 million, the most ever paid for a video game:

A copy of "Super Mario 64" has sold for more than $1.5 million, smashing the record for the most expensive sale ever of a video game at auction.

The sealed copy of the classic Nintendo 64 video game fetched $1.56 million including fees on Sunday.

Dallas-based auction house Heritage said it was the first time a game had gone for more than $1 million. The sale topped a record set just two days ago, when another Nintendo game, "The Legend of Zelda," was sold for $870,000, the auctioneers said.

[...] "After the record-breaking sale of the first game in the Zelda series on Friday, the possibility of surpassing $1 million on a single video game seemed like a goal that would need to wait for another auction," Heritage Auctions video games specialist Valarie McLeckie said in a statement.

"We were shocked to see that it turned out to be in the same one! We are proud to have been a part of this historic event," she added.

    me: I'm not upper class.
    you: yeah you wish you were upper class.
    your definition of "called out:" a guy tells me that hoarding money causes inflation, the standard of living for the poor is how the economy is measured, and that an LLC pays income tax.

    again, the chess board is here for you to shit on and dance on while. I'd never play chess with a pigeon.

    >you apparently have nothing better to do that sit around and troll SoylentNews

    yes, I have nothing better to do for the 5 minutes a day it takes me to type comments calling you an autistic hyperfocused retard who didn't take his medication. usually while I'm taking a shit, or sitting down to piss, because that's what us upper class people do - piss sitting down. flush.

    >Why don't you just fuck off and die
    have your wishes of your bully dying ever come true, or do you just end up the same autistic loser, but now with a black eye? I'm gonna live a nice long happy life. Mostly because I don't have a disease requiring medication with negative side effects, like you do. and because while not upper class, i have a much higher standard of living, medical care, and less worries in life than you do. one of the reasons I have less worries, is that while this thread is entertaining and lowers my blood pressure, it raises yours.
