White Xbox One charity auction raises $11,300
Microsoft's charity auction ended yesterday evening, after the bidding sat at $11,100 across a number of days. Then, with hours to go a new user snuck in to snatch up the limited edition console. He or she will receive their new, shiny white console when everyone else gets their boring black ones this Friday on November 22.
There's at least one other member of the public due to receive a white Xbox One, but over in the UK. Another white Xbox One was auctioned over there earlier this month, raising £5,000 (around $8,000) for charity organization GamesAid, which is passing on the money to a number of small UK charities for children and young people.

People forget that they aren't really just paying for a games console, they are donating 11k to a charity. It's very noble.

AwesomeSauce69destroyer89Buttershy-Robert- I dont understand why you would pay that much just for a different colour
It's the "employee only" version.
Also, he/she gets it before everyone else.
still a couple of days early a bit over the top paying 11k for a console you could buy the best PC gaming set up with that much and get a lot more out of it
He's not over-paying at all. You guys don't understand. This was a charity event. The reason the price was high is because the buyer was donating money.
Still wouldn't pay that much even if it is for charity
