Well, sort of . . . According to The Register, Computer eXchange (CeX) of London, a second-hand store specializing in computer and video gaming, is selling a used N-Gage gaming system.

Tony Smith of The Register writes: "Nokia's N-Gage cellphone-cum-handheld games console isn't due to ship until early next October, but if you've £600 to spare and happen to be in London's Tottenham Court Road, you can pick up one up." Smith also mentions that the unit was "slightly scuffed but no doubt serviceable."

Whoever purchases the machine will have to be satisified with the N-Gage's built-in (and downloadable) capabilities; commercial games will not be availble until the N-Gage launch in October. It is unknown if CeX has other N-Gage units for sale, but if so they likely won't last long.
