‘Hitman’ Gamertag On Auction, Sort Of
By Jared Newman
We all know that Xbox Live Gamertags with extraneous symbols and numbers are lame, so the chance to have the handle “Hitman” instead of “@@XHITMAN69XX@” is something special. That’s why 16 year-old Chris Graziano’s original “Hitman” was reportedly going for more than $200 on Ebay. “Don’t bid on this item if you don’t want to be the center of attention of every game lobby you’re in,” he wrote in the auction notes. Sadly, in the time since Dvice posted about this, the auction has been removed. In its place, Graziano is billing the item as the “Hitman Memory Unit.” He writes that he’s not selling the Hitman name “since Microsoft owns the rights to it,” but it does happen to exist on the memory card, and it’s good until February 2010. Hooray for Ebay’s legal loopholes. [Ebay via CNet]
