A hardware bundle in the Starfield design is currently being offered on eBay. The manufacturer AMD has limited the set of graphics card and CPU to 500 units. A few days before the auction ends, the bids are already in the thousands of euros.
The game studio Bethesda and hardware developer AMD are actively promoting the upcoming space RPG Starfield. For Bethesda, this is the first new game brand in more than 25 years. Therefore, it is even more important for the developer to present its new role-playing game with a science fiction setting to the gaming community.
In collaboration with AMD, unique hardware in the art style of Starfield has been created in limited quantities. And this hardware has now landed on eBay for a lot of money.
Auction for a supposedly good cause
On eBay, one of these hardware packages is now being offered for purchase. The seller emphasizes that they only have good intentions and want to donate the money to a charity after the auction ends.
So the seller writes:
All proceeds from the sale of this item will go towards supporting Mental Drive Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting inclusion, diversity, and awareness of mental health issues. We hope the money ends up in the right hands.
Article description for the auction on eBay
What amounts of money are involved? Currently, the highest bid is over 3,330 euros.
The auction will still run for several days. It is assumed that the final sale proceeds will be many times higher than the current highest bid.
Why should such offers be viewed critically? Even though the auction is supposed to serve a charitable purpose, potential buyers must still be cautious and take a close look at the auction and the seller behind it. Due to false information on sales platforms, scammers have often deceived many gullible buyers and have in some cases taken a lot of money from them.
Whether the seller actually donates the money for charitable purposes in the end is only known by the seller themselves.
Especially with special and limited edition items, interest is generally high and can quickly lead to recklessness.
Rare hardware in Starfield look
What makes the offered components so interesting? As the exclusive PC partner, AMD supports the release of the role-playing game. A package consisting of a Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and RX 7900 XTX graphics card has been put together, which is visually inspired by Bethesda’s new title.
How does the hardware differ in color from the standard design? The Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor itself does not visually differ from its normal variant, which is regularly available in stores. However, its packaging shines in black-and-white Starfield design and could be highly sought after by collectors.
Why is the RX 7900 XTX more attractive? The true highlight of this bundle is the graphics card. The card, which is white, has been adorned with the typical rainbow accents of Starfield. Even the power cable of the stylish pixel accelerator is eye-catching and has been colored accordingly.
How does one get the hardware duo? The limited edition of 500 units is not available through the normal retail or online store routes. Those who want to own one of the coveted sets had to be very lucky in one of the raffles by Bethesda and AMD, where the hardware was given away. Alternatively, the search for available sales offers on the internet remains.
