When fiction becomes more expensive than reality

Diablo III is an online RPG which had a lot of success these last years. The items you get in the game can be sold in reality. This week, a spanish gamer sold the most powerful weapon you can get in the game for 3000 euros.
If I think about the situation around the world there is only one thing I can do: laugh. Everyone of us has got something that he really enjoys in life: I like videogames too. But the fact that someone spent 3000 euros for somehting which doesn't exists in reality is (in my opinion) simply hilarious.
