Shams, I do have to admit, that you should have mentioned to the lady about the 60gb version that does have bc for ps2 games. If the kid really wanted the PS3, what right do you have in trying to convince his parents that he should get the Wii? Now that kid may end up with a gift this Xmas that he doesn't want and could have had the system he really wanted instead.

I don't think you read my comments properly.

1/ I did mention that the PS3 DOES play PS2 games. They were obviously interested in the "silver" (cheap) one.

2/ I didn't do any convincing

3/ Again - it sounds like the Wii was already on order (not from yesterday) - and I have no idea what their real interest in the PS3 is. I suspect they were just checking it out, 'cos their kid was badgering them.

...

@naz - great story. People seem to have missed that the Wii *was* sold out. If it wasn't - the store clerk would have almost definitely have pushed that instead. You can't make sales/revenue from something you don't have in stock!

 

 My bad... I read through that post of yours rather quickly and must have missed that.  But, who knows, the parents could be misdirecting him so he doesn't think he'll be getting a PS3 and it will still be a surprise.
