Either this is the most random fake eBay auction regarding PS3's to date, or someone really is able to commission a PS3 to be decked out with Swarovski crystals (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWAROVSKI-CRYSTAL-Playstation-3-ONE-OFF-LUXURY-CONSOLE_W0QQitemZ220235577325QQihZ012QQcategoryZ14 9492QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphot ohosting). Either way, you should at least watch the bid to see if someone actually buys it. We can all laugh at them, then cry when we see they have a PS3 carved from a single, gigantic crystal.
