Saw that on Gizmodo today.  I figured that one was photoshopped; the first 
pic, especially, just didn't look quite right.

I could be wrong, of course... it may just be that a real oversized D20 
doesn't look quite right.

I'm pretty sure it's real.  The Gizmodo pic and the Privateer pic are from 
different angles, but if you compare them you can see that the die is in 
the same position.

And, you can buy d20s that big.

It is real. I have one. Mine is black. It is about the
size of a baseball.

It is intended to be used as a counter instead of
rolling it, but I roll it anyway.
