So, I bought a PS3 on these forums 10 days ago and it gets here yesterday. All is good and well but I still needed to wait for my controller to come in which I had ordered separately. It comes in today AND THERE'S NO FUCKING USB CABLE INCLUDED!!!!! I search my house high and low, but to no avail... I used to have SHITFUCKTONS of these fucking things. So, I called up the two closest computer shops "Nope, we don't have any." but, my mom was going out for something and she asks me if I want her to look in Best Buy... THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE THERE EITHER, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! So, I just gave up and ordered one from Newegg.

How does best buy not have a usb cable? They usually at least have the fancy colored gold connector $80 ones left that no one ever buys.

I'm sorry for my rather TridenT-esque post but I am really pissed off that I have to wait another two fucking days just to play my PS3.

Three things:

1. If you care, the phrase, in English, is "well and good" not "good and well."

2. A computer shop that doesn't carry have a usb cable? :hmm:

3. Best Buy has them, for sure. Your Mom is lying to you and blew you off. Not very . . . Christian . . . of her.

It's just a mini-USB cable. You should be able to buy one anywhere.

I know, Right? I thought that everyone and their fucking grandma had one... Apparently I am wrong.

@Schneiderguy you have to charge it with a mini-USB cable.

I'm sorry, I just kind of blurt out shit without thinking about it when I'm mad.

I have to agree that it's quite fishy that the local computer shops only stock full-sized USB cables and not the mini cables.

My mom wouldn't lie to me like that, she said that within Best Buy they checked out the computer, printer and video games sections and they found where the cable should be in the video games section but they were out of stock.

@Bill Brasky I live in a rural area about two miles from Maryland. I don't need to tell the general public my exact location though.

@Soccerman06 The point of this thread is for me to vent so I don't do something stupid like throw my PS3, Controller and TV out of my window.

i have a couple

haha

I just checked my junk cable drawer. I have 5 still in packages. I know I have more around the house.

That reminds me...I need to stock up on some micro usb cables. I only have one spare left and those are my cats' favorite snacks.

OP:

Please post your zip code. I'm sure we can find you a store with them in stock.

@rudeguy It's pointless for me to post my zip code now because I've already ordered a cable on Newegg. Also, as stated before, I don't want to reveal such personal information on a public access forum.

Is this guy trying to unseat Trident?

Not possible. I'm pretty sure that defies the laws of the universe. :biggrin:

Any store that sells computer stuff should have then. Most cell phones charge with mini-USB cables these days. Heck, even Wal-Mart will have them. Failing that, Monoprice.com. I still love them despite their CC breach. At least they told their customers promptly. *cough*

Nope. But I'll be over this weekend for a barbecue and some beer.

P.S.

I prefer a good Guinness or a Murphy's. Oh, ya. I hope you don't mind, I'll be bringing the wife and kids. :awe:

I bought a $90 2 meter DVI cable from Best Buy. I specifically asked if I could return it once the properly priced model from monoprice arrived.

I hate emergency replacements. The return to Costco meant I had to also return the DVI cable that came with the now broken monitor.
