So i called Target before they closed last night, had them put me their (im almost sure) only MGS4 PS3 on hold, because i couldn't make it in before they closed. Well, fast forward to this morning...

Went in to claim my item, they took my name and gave it to me, where i was waiting for them to ring it up...and what do you know; the register beeped a few times, lady had no idea WTF was going on, so she asked someone else. "We can't sell that to you until tomorrow." So now i have to wait until tomorrow morning. Gahhhhhh! I guess i'll try hitting up our 24/7 Wal-Mart again tonight. Good news is that I will definitely be getting one.

hahaha I did this for the wii's during the holidays.


I would go to the counter, look around, they usually put a wii aside with a note and I would say, "hey, I called about a Wii... they said they would hold it..."

"what's your name"
"well my mother johanna lopez called but I am here instead"
"oh ok!"
*rings me up

same with wiifit, they had a name but the girl sold it to me because they can try to hold it but if someone else shows up, they have to sell it or so she thought.

touche, though it was a virtual, telephone hold, if they had a real hold, I wouldn't be the one purchasing it.

You mean it's a self-centered, self-serving world, amirite? Believe it or not, having a bit of compassion for your fellow man isn't a horrible thing.

No, I would have reserved a Wii for my son. Then, imagine the crestfallen look on my son's face when the Target employee says they don't have the Wii because a homoerotic Wii-fit fanatic claimed to be his father and danced away with it.

Nope. I don't go out of my way to be a hypocrite. Unless, if you were the person that preordered the Wii or WiiFit in your stories and you came in to pick them up. When the cashier says, "Oh, they're not here anymore, someone already got them." Would you be pissed? If you would just say, "Oh well, he came here first", then you're not a hypocrite (but still an ass :)).

You should try to at least respect others for once.

Guys, CasioTech knows he's an asshole. He likes being an asshole. There's no point to reminding him he's an asshole.

an asshole is someone who breaks their shitty console, then returns it to costco because they 'feel' it's the right thing to do.

yeah I just hung out to see the presales, there were sony fanatics who said how much the 360 sucked balls and how supreme the ps3 is because of all the things you can do with it and Linux.

the guy uses his psp to talk to his ps3 it's crazy.

plus he said how the ps3 only uses 30% of it's power for MGS4 and shit like that.

plus with hd dvd dead, the trade in value of an xbox is shit that's what all the clerks were saying. And how they see MS telling you guys to buy a bluray add on and you will have no good movies to watch anymore if you don't.
