Xbox 360 buries the PS3...

Tue Jan 16, 2007 at 09:36:13 AM EST

literally!  At first I thought it was probably a snafu by some bumbling Wal-mart employee in electronics, but I was wrong.  Yesterday I was stunned to see a 60 GB PS3 laying underneath stacks and stacks of 360 games on the bottom shelf of the glass case!  It was laying flat so all you could see was the top of the box and even that was mostly covered by a couple stacks of games in front of it!  I mean, it's bad enough that the PS3 is having a hard time due to it's high price tag, but I don't think hiding the thing helps either.  I mentioned something to the two 70 year olds behind the counter and they were shocked when they moved the games out of the way and told me that they had 4 or 5 chances to sell it just that afternoon.  Turns out that apparently the kid who worked the night before was trying to hide it so he could pick it up when he got into work.  Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue!

P.S. If I offended anyone with the "bumbling Wal-mart employee", I apologize.  I think it's just the area I'm in here because I don't really see it anywhere else.  Hopefully my wife won't read this though, considering the fact that my brother-in-law and his wife and my sister-in-law all worked at Wal-mart!

      Funny story, man.
      I went to best buy last night and asked the guy just out of curiousity from what I've heard, "do you guys have any PS3s right now?"  His eyes lit up and a FOR SALE button switched on to turbo.  Suddenly I feel like I asked the guy which Buick should I buy.  

       "YOU WANT ONE WE'VE GOT PLENTY THIS IS THE PLACE BLAH BLAH BLAH......!"
       So after I reach in my jacket for a Valium, praying one had suddenly appeared, I try to keep up with the guy as he's pushing women and children out of the way.  We get to a freakin WALL of boxes.  All PS3s.  I tell the guy, ok cool.  So he's still there watching me and I'm like "THANK YOU".  Then a more down to earth less caffinated employee comes up and says, "that's bill, he's a sony fanboy, and he's mad that no one will buy one."  So after I laugh my ass off, I ask him "So how many do you guys have?"  He points to the wall, down under the PS2 games and says "yeah and there are more in the back, we just can't get rid of them."  So on my way out I grab a copy of gears and put it on top of the wall of Sony and think......AH that's much better.

      Great ending to a funny as hell story!  I do the same type of thing with telemarketers when I'm bored, just let them go on for like 20 minutes and then tell them your not interested.  It makes you feel all fuzzy inside!

    The Best Buy and Walmart in my area have over 20 PS3s and my EB games has 10. They just can't sell them.

    You can't have everything. Where would you put it? New Gamertag: Buluc Chabtun
