Dringo: Hi, are you running pre-orders for the Gamecube?
Shop Owner: I am.
Dringo: Oh good, how much are you selling it for?
Shop Owner: I don't know how much i'm selling it for.
Dringo: Ok fair enough, a few good internet shops are selling it for about £160...
Shop Owner: Well i'll know when Nintendo announce it in Euro's.
Dringo: I thought they did, erm 249 i thought.
Shop Owner: No they haven't announced it yet.
Dringo: erm, never mind, are you doing pre-orders?
Shop Owner: Yeah, £10 deposit is needed, I am selling 3 to 4 Gamecube's a day so you better be quick!
Dringo: 3 to 4 a day???? Are you sure, the Gamecube is good but the isn't as popular as X-box or PS2.
Shop Owner: It doesn't really need to be as popular as them to do well.
Dringo: True there is the Gameboy.
Shop Owner: Yeah and they are a huge company in Japan, selling Washing Machines and the like!
Dringo: urm.... yeah, whatever. I'm planning a good Gamecube launch, this really cool website holds a competition and i have three Gamecube games on pre-order for launch.
Shop Owner: Are you sure they are launch titles.
Dringo: Yeah.
Shop Owner: They haven't actually announced them yet.
Dringo: Yeah they announced twenty of them...
Shop Owner: Yeah they did that but not what one's they are actually coming out.
Dringo: Er well actually um nevermind (put £10 back in pocket). See ya.
Later:
Craig: I thought you were pre-ordering your Gamecube.
Dringo: He can't even spell Gamecube, stuff him I'll get it from SR.

Remins me of a time when the Playstation had just come out and was selling for a bout £250, my mate walked into a seconfd hand games sop and said
"S'cuse me mate how ,much would you give me for an almost brand new Playstation"
"£20 mate, not worth the paperwork"
hmmmmm...

Well, let's be honest - have you ever met a member of staff in a games store that actually knows anything about computer games? It seems to be a job requirement that they should be rude and moronic...
