how I somehow screwed over EB

[Perfect Stu]

OK, I knew the PStwo recently came out, and I heard about the EB trade in deal from Null.

I had to go to the mall today to talk to a Telus rep, so I strolled into EB and low and behold, the first shipment of PStwos had just arrived and the staff were marveling at the size of the thing (it's REALLY tiny). I talked to a girl that was working there about trade in deals...she said $100 for a working PS2, $75 for one that no longer reads discs but has a running 'motor'.

I was intrigued by the deal because I had both a working PS2 and a busted one. That would *almost* pay for the new PStwo. I went home and realized I bought an extended warranty on my *working* PS2 that was BARELY still intact. I managed talking my way into SWAPPING the working PS2 with warranty for the PStwo, and I got the $75 for my broken PS2...so I preorderd GTA: San Andreas in full, just need to pick it up on the 26th.

So I trade in a broken launch PS2 and my 10 month old PS2 for the sleek, sexy, tiny little PStwo and GTA: San Andreas.

Somebody explain to me how that's fair for them?

Well, you see, the PStwo you got contains a little gremlin inside of it that periodically steals your money while you sleep at night. Thusly paying back the price.


Either that or EB is on some major crack.

Sweet deal man. That sounds nuts. A working system and a non working system, for a better working system and a sick game. Not shabby.

It's probably worth it to them to recycle the motors and such. You might have gotten a factory defect, too, so watch out.

Or maybe they know a secret way to fix it so that they pay 75 bucks for it but then cast a spell to make it work (free of cost) and sell it back to the public for 100+...

So are we all in agreement that Stu got swindled like a blind man at an ATM machine?

Congratulations Stu, if you could post a picture of it, that's be cool. I haven't seen a picture of it in a real environment where it's small size is noticeable.

here are some pictures from somebody else's PStwo









As you can see...the thing is damn tiny
