So, today I got my ps2 at a gamespot YAY!. They had 14 of them left when I got there. I stopped by the walmart(it's right next to the mall) and they still didn't have any ps2s.

A sidenote... there were two hot girls working at the gamespot, how that happened I don't know. It was pretty nice considering I had to stand in line for 15 mins 🙂

We used to hire cute girls to work at ours to draw nerds like you in. It works. Evil place to work though, glad I got out.
 
Why do people get so bent out of shape when a retailer is out of stock on an item, especially a popular item?
 
because when you want something you want it and get cranky when they don't have it hehe

and there was a hot girl working at the radio shack as well... she was nice too so that was cool

umm how about you stfu. you're telling me that you think that it's ok for THE LARGEST RETAILER IN AMERICA to be sold out of THE BEST SELLING CONSOLE IN THE WORLD the day before THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR!??!?!?!?

kool why didn't you buy it last week?>

or wait for 2 more weeks,
try Kmart?
 
Why buy any shait from Wal-Mart?

1) They don't discount the PS2 console - in any way. Still $149 - like everyone else.
2) Local game shops - EB Games, GameStop, Game Crazy, etc. are all better when it comes to customer service and selection of goods. Plus, they don't have to lock their good games up in a glass case because they usually keep them behind the counter instead.

Edit: I should also add that Circuit City and Game Stop are both throwing in free add-on packs for the PS2 today if you purchase the console from them. The add-on pack is valued at approx. $19 and includes a 2nd controller and the remote for the PS2 if you desire to use it as a DVD player.

OMGWTFBBQWATERMELON
 
he went to walmart cause it was last night and they were the only ones open.
i dont' think it's too unreasonable to assume they would have play station 2's and san andreas, i always see these items in stock at the stores i frequent, if i wanted them i would go to bestbuy or target and assume they have it.

then again, they are both really close to me 😛 if i had to drive that far, i would call.

also : how come you didn't ask if they had a playstation 2 at the first walmart? because they didn't have one item it wasn't worth figuring out if they had the second? *shrugs*
