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.

KatsumiAxe I like the white xbox and all, but I don't think I would be willing to pay 11k for it.
$11,000 is a little high for an Xbox ._. well.. it was the "exclusive launch team edition"
And the money was also going to charity.

It seems a lot of people are forgetting it was for Charity. Not just for the console, sure the person has an great limited edition console, but the money was totally worth it, they did an awesome thing and all respect goes to them.
