Look: Munch already for sale? (possible scam)
 
While browsing ebay, I stumbled upon this:

Auction
I don't see how this could be a legit auction unless Microsoft already published Munch, and I don't think they have. Tell me what you think.

it's gotta be a scam. don't bid on it. OI is probably still putting final touches on the game anyway.

Nah, I'm not going to bid on it. I've already got a copy on the way with my xbox.

im not going to get the xbox straight away, i am going to wait a few months until the price goes down.

Same I won't get 1 either till the prices go down.
On that auction thing it says $9.99 It won't cost that no way.

Although the ad is not clear, I think that they are pre-selling through the auction. So whereas if you won the auction now, you would get the game once released.

I've seen other auctions do this... I actually bought something that way myself. A company had a NFL figure for auction that wasn't released yet, but were doing the auction for it. They didn't charge my credit card until the item was in stock.

It still might be a scam though as it doesn't make this fact clear, and the reserve may not be much cheaper than the actual game.
