Many who managed to score Microsoft Xbox 360s have been playing a game that has nothing to do with improved graphics or next-gen shooters.

They're wrapped up in the wildly popular sport of eBay. The game's objective: to turn a profit. Just 36 hours after the game consoles went on sale, there are thousands of winners.

A search on the online auction site for "Xbox 360" at around 1 p.m. Wednesday showed nearly 31,000 completed auctions, a total that's growing every minute.

An eBay spokeswoman told Reuters that by midday Wednesday, nearly 7,700 Xbox 360s had sold at an average price of $786.

While it's hard to make comparisons because the game consoles are often packaged with extra games or accessories, it appears sellers are making at least a few hundred dollars off each system.

Will you think of getting one from there? i won't, i want a shiny new one

well considering they are a hard item to find in stores, you gotta take what you can get when your an avid gamer.
