Give him a break, GTAIV is still fresh on his mind.

No, that would be :

1) Go to store
2) Buy PS3
3) Kick crap out of store owner
4) Take money left on the floor
5) Leave with PS3

:D

once this kid traded in his ps2 slim right in front of me for $20, I wanted to offer $30 or $40 but couldn't build up the nerve. poor kid, he even gave away some game inside and an extra controller they didn't credit him for.

build up the nerve? shit I use to hang out in EB Games and when kids would come in to sell Dreamcast games I didn't have, I'd wait for the clerk to say "I'll give you X for it" and offer a bit more. They'd go "don't do that in the store!" so I'd go outside and the kid would follow. And I got said Dreamcast game for $5 more than the $5 or $10 EB was offering. I got about 20 games this way. EB got fed up with me after a few weeks of this and I was told to stop it or they would give me the ban stick haha.

that's why I didn't do it, didn't want to start troulbe.


I still don't own a ps2 and never have. it was DC straight to xbox to GC. Never owned a ps2, pretty pathetic huh.
