Auction: Game Boy Advance SP signed by Shigeru Miyamoto

I have just dropped an auction for an autographed Game Boy Advance SP: Famicom Edition that I had signed by Shigeru Miyamoto. It’s in great condition, and it’s not like you can play for GBA favorites on your 3DS, right?

This auction is for a Game Boy Advance SP: Famicom Edition autographed by Nintendo mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto. This Game Boy Advance SP is from my personal collection, and I had this autographed during E3 2006.

The unit itself is in perfect condition, and while I played with it a few times prior to having it signed, it’s in working order. Note: this is a Japanese GBA SP. However it is region free and will play US/EUR/AUS titles just fine. This Game Boy Advance comes as is, without box or charger.

Not only is this your chance to get your hands on a hard to find Game Boy Advance SP unit, but one that’s been signed by Shigeru Miyamoto!

This auction closes April 19th at 12:18:16 PDT. All proceeds of this auction benefit the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund – a GlobalGiving Project.

Auction: Lara Croft Xbox 360 Arcade Unit

Karl Stewart of Crystal Dynamics has posted an auction for a very rare standalone arcade unit supporting Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light.

You are bidding on a Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Xbox 360 promotional Arcade unit.

This unit (one of only 4) was created to promote our awesome Xbox 360 Summer of Arcade hit title at E3 2010.

Once it was finished being used at E3 it was then signed by the Dev team and boxed up for a special day just like this one.

Of the four created. two were given away to lucky TR fans and one remains in the studio ( these are the images supplied above). This one is all boxed up in storage ready to be shipped.

It stands at little under 7 foot tall.

The units were built from scratch.

They come complete with an

    * Xbox 360 retail kit inside (with a copy of LCGOL installed of course!)
    * HD monitor
    * Surround sound system (with external remote) that extends from the front of the unit to sit right behind your head as you play.

We even went as far as to have instal a faux coin insets panel on the front.

As you can see from the images the faceplate has two Xbox 360 controllers firmly fixed in place.

This auction ends on April 13 at 14:50:40 PDT, with all proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross.

Auction: Guitar Hero III Signed By Def Leppard

Reuben Tilly lives in New Zealand and was kind enough to contact us to ask about auctioning off a Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock signed by Def Leppard during their 2008 tour. Given that his home country has also recently experienced a natural disaster, we found his gesture doubly touching. Do keep in mind, North American bidders, that the disc will only work in PAL Xbox 360s.

You are bidding on a signed Guitar Hero Guitar by Def Leppard , Bundled with GH3: Legends of Rock. The autographs are on the front of the Guitar as pictured, and we have obtained during their 2008 sold out concert in Auckland, New Zealand.

We would like to thank the amazing work the Japanese search and rescue teams did in Christchurch, New Zealand and hope everyone can do what they can to help. Kia Kaha Japan, stay strong.

This auction ends on April 11 at 13:58:46 PDT. Proceeds from this sale will benefit GlobalGiving.
