I'd be tempted to think that if this occurred, it may just be a test, and that I can gain nothing out of the whole ordeal, but may lose my soul by agreeing to any price for it, without receiving that payment.

Assuming I was certain this was not the case, I would sell my soul for the knowledge needed to construct a device capable of sustaining a human life forever while putting that person on a networked VR where all present have infinite space and ability, including the ability to create their own personal zones, and restrict access of others to those zones at their leisure, and the ability to search for others in the system "psychically" (By thinking of the sorts of person/traits they want to locate.), and to disable this feature from locating themselves.

How'd you guess my favorite game was strip Russian roulette? xD

That's close to the prologue to the Matrix universe. We'd engineer it as such, but the machines win instead.

Whats the big deal?

You sell your soul and you have one left, albeit you walk funny... you can always get new ones.
