"What would you think if your mum did this for your birthday?"

Okay, my Mum was telling me today about a friend at work whose son's 18th birthday is today. Now the son in question asked his parents for a PS2 and so the dad and the other son went out to price things up...

In a well known high street store they saw that the X-box was being released on the son's birthday so instead of getting the requested PS2 they ordered an X-box and got it today. I Don't know how he responded but my question is how would you? Imagine you're unwrapping the PS2-shaped box (I know the X-box in its box is probably the size of Lithuania but use your imagination dammit!) and you discover the neon green X... good? bad? indifferent? The decision is yours...

(The rest of the thing my Mum was telling me involves hiding the receit so he wouldn't find it and then losing it and blah blah blah.)

I'd eat a pineapple and get over it.

But seriously, I'd still be pleased, and I could always sell it to someone who couldn't find an X-box.

Lol can't find one, they havent nearly sold out mate. I'd be delighted, Jet Set Radio Future, Halo, Amped and DoA3 would be mine :D

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs out the room crying in dissapointment*

i would jump up, scream, put the packageing all back together.

then i would run off and sell if for as much as i can and use the money to buy a GC :D

Well considering I got a Jaguar off mates... which was awful, I'd be happy :)

My mum and dad did this but I was really pleased because I asked for a saturn but got a playstation and I was so happy the took the intuative :)

Wouldn't bother me I'd get the other one anyway sooner or later.

I would throw it at her head in a vicious attempt to kill her.

Don't give me Microsoft.

well i wouldn't care it has some good games in fact every console has at least 1 good game even the N64 did!!!!


being console biased is sad and childish if you ask me, it's all about the bling bling i mean the games.
