We can't decide what is more bizarre: the existence of a mint condition Metal Gear Solid 3 pizza box ("never had any pizza in it") or that it's being sold on eBay. We are, of course, amused either way. (Thanks, Anthony) Check out the highlights for this weekend:

How's it taste?

Excuse me?

The pizza. How's it taste.

The guide says it tastes pretty good.

Hmmm.

"So how far are you in MGS4?"
"I'm stuck because I don't know Meryl's codec number."
"Dude it's on the top of the officially licensed pizza box."
"How was I supposed to know?"
"Colonel tells you."
"Oops."
What?
"I killed him."
!! (boom head shot) SNAAAAKKEE ooh pizza!

Dio: Apr 21st 2008; 4:19AM

Unfortunately for the bidder, the pizza was actually delivered upside-down.

DangerDog: Apr 21st 2008; 8:26AM

Pfft. It's not mint condition. The box is folded up. Mint condition would be a flat box. This is worthless!!! I bid $0!

Dirt: Apr 21st 2008; 9:54AM

I love all the fake review scores on it.

Michael K.: Apr 21st 2008; 10:10AM

I might actually bid on that, unless it gets ridiculously high, its just a funny collectible.

hedgehoggy: Apr 21st 2008; 11:32AM

I actually have a can of Metal Gear Solid 3 "Snake Meat" which Konami sent out as a promo item too. Never did find out what was actually inside the can because I'm assuming it wasn't snake. But you never know...
