Man pays $100,000 for virtual space station

[CptStern]

"A US gamer has snapped up a virtual space station in online RPG Project Entropia for the - ahem - bargain price of $100,000 (just over £56,000).

Described as a "pleasure paradise", the space station is located in the Paradise V Asteroid Belt and the price tag includes mining and hunting taxation rights, a mall shopping booth, market stall owner deeds, a land management system, advertising billboards, and the right to name the space station whatever the owner chooses.

The owner in question being Jon Jacobs, otherwise known as Neverdie - one of the game's best-known characters."

If I were stupid enough to do that, hopefully Coca-Cola would pay me to paint the whole thing red, the outside, the walls, the floors, the bogs, the sinks - everything a bright red, covered in "Drink Coca-Cola!" accompanyied by speakers constantly barking "DRINK COCA-COLA!" which can be heard from about 1.2 light years away. Then what you do is manufacture special Coca-Cola ear-muffs which stop the sounds being played, and sell them in real life over eBay or summat.
