"Bought a Gamecube yesterday.....it was broken."

Yesterday I purchased a black Gamecube from a store I will not name, but the first letter of the store's name is 'A'. Anyway I got home opened it up, at which point had noticed no problem, I set it up, put mario sunshine in it, (still have noticed no problems), after I played sunshine i deemed it necessary to play Metroid at which point I pressed the reset button(don't know why, was still trying to work out how to use it), but as I pressed the reset button it got stuck, at which point I noticed the disfigurement of the cube. In my excitement to play the thing I hadn't noticed an earthquake sized crack in the cube's plastic shell, running from the reset button all the down the side of the damn console, also on the back there where significant chips out of the cube's casing, great quality. Due to this event I instantly packed the cube up in it's box and in doing so I beleived that due to the hassle this has caused me I deserved to keep the control pad. So I took the cube back where it came from excluding a controller which they failed to noticed and got a new cube with a controller, so I have saved a good £24.99 as I gained an extra controller:) so in the end things are better but it was still extra hassle. Damn Arg** , I can just see it now, a trainee just left school working in the warehouse(or bit in the back of the shop where they magically get everything from), and aimlessly cobbing the cubes around in a lethargic manner, stupid trainee. Still I got an extra controller:)

I like that part!

All controller bit...

There is no such word as 'philistinic', and even if there was, I wouldn't say he was a phillistine anyway.

You say I am a newbie yet I have been registered here 224 more days than you have, it's just that I actually have a life away from the computer screen:)

(That was not intended to start an arguement, I don't do arguements!)

Shame you didn't learn to spell.

> phillistine should be philistine.

Possibly a typo on WS' part, no?
