"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing with the Stars ... I know he will just love them," the father said, tongue-in-cheek.

Dad might also want to consider a putting the 9Gs away in case Jr. needs rehab in the future. Oh, and the little druggie friends need a lifetime ban from the house.

Person who bought Guitar Hero 3 for $9,000...please die soon.

I'm sure every dad is tearing open that game and slapping it on eBay.

Many sad kids this Christmas. But happy super rich kids, I guess.

Well, you can't get held held responsible for your friends' actions. However, may I suggest using my personal response whenever someone offers me pot/beer/'roids/X..... The first time, I politely refuse. If they persist, I ask them if they think it would be difficult to smoke/drink/pill pop without that particular hand.

I think the real question is what parties he's going to where people are passing around steroids?

he's a though guy, he takes vicious people's hands off

I love how people are focusing on the punishment here when the guy made a profit of $8,900 from an investment of $90. If I was the manufacturer I would have serious problems with it given the profit potential I lost.

"I'll buy him Barbie" hahahaha that's awesome!

I'm just ignoring it as a typo because I can't wrap my head around why anyone would pay that much for a single game.

who's stupider? the kid for smoking pot and getting caught, or whomever bought the game?

Or included the rest of the pot with the game.
