There is always an abundance of unique and interesting video game related items for sale at eBay. This particular auction qualifies as both of those things, plus a little more for your viewing pleasure.

A PS3 Rock Band bundle along with two GH III Gibson guitars is currently up for grabs to the highest bidder. Nothing spectacular about that, right? Wrong. This bundle will be hand delivered to your door Christmas morning by a cute scantily clad blond by the name of Chloe. She is being billed as one of Santa’s helpers, although I doubt Santa’s helpers really dress like she does. It’s entirely too cold at the North Pole for an outfit like the one she is going to wear to the winner’s house.

My incredibly geeky gaming blog where I have an absolute blast with each and every one of you has been nominated for 2007 Best Xbox Community Blog of the Year in Gamertag Radio’s 3rd Annual Xbox Community Awards.

I received an email last week from Godfree telling me about the nomination. Other sites that have also been nominating starting posting articles right away. I however waited. I waited because I thought for sure he was going to email me back telling me there was some confusion and it was all a big mistake. I didn’t tell my clan, I didn’t tell my friends, I didn’t tell a single soul. Surely it was wrong.

Voting officially began last night and I double checked the ballots and sure enough my blog is on there. So the mistake has still not been corrected. They really need to get somebody on that.

I am in a lovey dovey mood after writing my Top 10 Romantic Halo 3 Lines Useful for Forge Proposals. I now offer you some romantic Halo-themed music, piano and strings style.

He offers a tutorial as well if you want to learn how to play it on your piano without the sheet music.

We all want some. We all enjoy getting some. I am all about helping everybody in the never ending quest of scoring. Hopefully my Top 10 Halo Pick-Up Lines played wingman to your virtual action endeavors. This time I would like to assist you in something of a more romantic nature.

In my Four Things to Do in Forge article, the first activity I suggested was proposing to your significant other.

Propose to Your Significant Other
Please be warned that this will only be successful if your significant other is an avid gamer. If your other half despises your obsession with all things Xbox, proposing using Halo 3’s Forge mode might bring you an angry slap in the face instead of the yes you were dreaming of. Assuming your partner in life is also your partner in gaming, asking her hand in marriage this way should be a walk in the park. The easiest phrase to spell out would be “Marry me” but dressing it up would definitely earn you some bonus points. Pretty polka dots made from power ups as a border or a big beautiful ring with an activated bubble shield as the diamond would help you hit that home run. A Forge proposal, who could say no to that?

Apparently not furtive penguin. Her boyfriend of over two years chose the Forge setting for his proposal. He spelled out “Marry Me”, she said yes, and their journey officially began. I knew it was just a matter of time before an event like that happened and now that it is occurring, I would like to help you out even more by supplying you with some romantic proposal lines Halo 3 style. Spell out your proposal on Forge mode, pair it with one of these lines, and your success is guaranteed.

He is nine years old. Nine. Years. Old. That is all.

I once saw the cutest Xbox 360 plushie and instantly fell in love. It was soft, white, cuddly, and just beyond adorable. Well, what I thought was love really was not. It ended up being more of a crush, just a temporary fleeting feeling of affection.

I am sure you want to know how I knew it wasn’t real love and how I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. I realized that the moment I set eyes on this.

This is true love. The kind that you know with all your heart and soul that it is meant to be. The kind you feel from the tip of your nose to the pit of your stomach all the way down to the tingle in your toes.

This adorable pink Xbox 360 plushie is currently up for sale on eBay. Handmade by eBay seller inkyfingersjunior, it is stuffed with soft cushion stuffing and made out of fleece and felt. It is so soft you can finally show how much you love your console by taking it to bed with you. You can caress it gently and spoon with it all through the night. It won’t double as a space heater as your real 360 does but it is way cuter so that is forgivable.

Purchase here : inkyfingersjunior’s eBay Store
Starting bid : £35.00 (approximately US $72)
Auction ends : 02-Dec-07 18:40:20 GMT

That is such a pretty penny for a plushie, but goodness, if there was ever a plushie that was deserving of a high price, this is the one.

UPDATE : This item sold for £40.00 (approximately US $80).
