Star Wars fans all over the world, may the Force be with you! And it could be, as a customized, limited edition of a Wii console: The Darth Vader Wii. Of course, these things ain't cheap, and the proof is the $15,000 the seller wants for this one.

The seller claims that only four Wii Vader Consoles were created to promote LucasArts' upcoming Star Wars game - The Force Unleashed. The seller does not say how come he has such an unique item (actually, he claims to have two, but only selling one), but one thing might seem fishy if you check the add close enough: he says the next Star Wars game is called "Unleash the Force". Maybe it's nothing, maybe it is a reason to ask yourself some
questions regarding this $15,000 purchase. Still, this guy is rated on eBay to 100% Positive, so it could be just a little mistake.

As you can see in the picture to the top left of the screen, this Star Wars Wii features a black finish and some science fiction red led illumination, trying to prove that it is a real deal from the Dark Side. The console includes 2 Black Wii Remotes, as well as 2 black Nunchuks and a black sensor bar. It also comes with the Wii Play Disc, Wii Sports Disc, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Galaxy. It is available for anybody from anywhere in this world... of course, for anybody who is willing to pay $15,000 for a black Wii with Vader's face on it.

However, the Wiimote looks strange and different with "x" and "y" buttons, as well as the power button, which is rectangular here. No way of controlling the sound, either, because there are absolutely no buttons for this. But, again, it might be nothing to prove that this auction is just a bad joke from somebody willing to get some easy thousands. It's up to you to decide. Take a look on eBay and see for yourself. And may the Force be with you, young Jedi!
