I'm in a game shop... think it was GeForce, maybe Gamestation... and a 30 something ned walks up to me and asks if the games that came free with the Silver PS2 bundle were crap. So I said yeah they were. So he goes " I don't know what to get then". I couldn't help it. I told him to get an Xbox.

"Does it play DVDs though?" Yeah, if you get one of those wee things there *point at remote*

"Has it got any good games?" Yeah, that is a brilliant racing game *points at PGR2* and that Halo is minted man (he understood that you see, whereas sentences involving words like masterpiece would have been too much).

"How much does a memory card cost?" It has a hard disk in it, which is like having 1000 memory cards built in.

10 minutes and one satisfied customer later I was feeling a warm fuzzy feeling that I last had when getting compromising photos of people on my camera phone.

So go on, it is Christmas, do a good deed and educate the masses!

Bah, you should've made him get a GC.

I know that his Child (if that's who he's giving it to) will be upset on Christmas Morn when all his mates have got PS2's and he's got the XBOX....

(Seriously, everybody follows the crows, regardless of how decent a console is)

No, I was after a Saturn memory card at the time. So I bought a control pad instead.

Did you get commission?

I can't believe how dumb these people are, I mean, I always research stuff before I buy, especially something of that value. You could have sold that guy fresh air and he'd have gone home happy.
