Would you give up a PS3 for the rest of your life to win a $7500 computer? PC Gamer convinced one guy to do just that at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco.

After being offered a $7500 gaming rig complete with 30" LCD, former Sony fanboy Neil contractually signed off his right to ever own a PS3 console. Sure, he can still buy a Wii (and possibly go over to a friend's to play PS3), but you don't realize how much these new gadgets are intrinsically worth until someone offárs you a boatload of money to never own them. What do our faithful readers think? Would you take a deal to never own...let's say play...a PS3 for a certain amount of compensation?

Seeing as how it's a first generation PS3, I'd probably do it if it were me.

Sign off your right to never own a Playstation 3? How official is that?

The $7,500 PC sounds like a great deal to me! Try eBaying that! :D

Neil makes the right choice, and signs the contract. We'll be checking in on his several times a year to make sure he keeps his end of the deal.

hehe they're watching him...:P

How is that an awesome deal? That 7500 gaming rig will be obsolete in probably 6 months. Granted it will play games well for 6 years probably; but to sign off your right to own a PS3 for LIFE?

No way. I bet that computer is very nice, probably totting Dual Core Duos, and Quad SLI, but still... Not to mention the computer gaming industry has been, quite shitty lately; only a handful of decent games coming out amidst the truck loads of shit.

Added:

Having seen the computer I must say that kid was really retarded. Those paintjobs they do cost 1000s of dollars. **** that...

Neil, you are officially, the most retarded human being on earth.
