Dual cannon Samus Amiibo sells for $2500 on eBay

A ‘defective' version of Nintendo's Samus Aran Amiibo figure has managed to sell for $2500 on eBay. These figures usually only just $12.99 but the Samus figures usually ship with just one arm cannon, while this one had two, making it a very rare one off mistake.

The unit is presumably still functional as the figure was sold as unopened. It is currently not known if there are more twin arm cannon Samus Amiibos floating around so maybe be on the lookout next time you go shopping. The bidding war drew a total of 75 bids from 19 bidders, with the winning bid sitting at a massive $2500.

Over the course of the auction, several bids were retracted, including two for $10,000 and a few more for around $1000. While things are looking good for now, auction winners don't always follow through when it comes to paying for high priced collectible items.

For now, this figure seems to be a rare one-off mistake. It will be interesting to see if any more pop up on eBay following this seemingly successful auction.

KitGuru Says: That does seem like a lot of money to pay for a second arm cannon. Have any of you guys seen a dual arm cannon Samus Amiibo? If you have one, you might want to consider selling it…

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
