the worst i have ever seen or heard of was last year when i was in gamestop picking up The Show with my brother.
We were leaving when 2 girls (id guess maybe 11 and 13 years old) and their dad come into gamestop this is basically the conversation that occured.
Girls: "We want a Wii, where are they at?"
Gamestop: We are all sold out, do you want to go on our waiting list.
Girls: No.
(They then see my PS3 game)
Girls: Awwww....man you got a PS3. Dad, get us a PS3 instead.
Dad: Well, how much is a PS3, if they are only $250 I'll get you one instead.
(At this point, my brother and me are just standing there watching this thing unfold and we are starting to laugh).
Dad: Sir, how much is a Playstation 3
Gamestop: PS3 is much more expensive than Wii, its $599.
Dad: I don't think so girls, thats over twice as much.
(They then notice a Halo 3 advertisment, keep in mind this is in May, so the game isn't out yet).
Girls: Oh My God! Halo 3 is out! Sir, can you get us a copy of Halo 3 for Xbox.
Gamestop: Halo 3 will not be out for a few more months, do you want to pre-order it.
Girls: Yes.
Gamestop: Now just to clarify you do have a Xbox 360.
Girls: No, we just got an Xbox, isn't Halo 3 coming out on Xbox?
Gamestop: Microsoft no longer makes Xbox games anymore, they only make Xbox 360 games.
Girls: What? We just got ours a year ago!
(The Dad looked pissed)
Girls: Dad, can we get an Xbox 360.
Dad: I don't think so, I just got you girls and Xbox last year.
Girls: Yeah, but its old now.
(Dad now looks like he wants to hang himself, the Gamestop guy is ready to crack)
Dad: Fine, we'd like an Xbox 360.
Gamestop: Alright, that will be...
Girls: Well, we gotta get a game with it.
Dad: fine, go find yourself a game.
(Girls come back with some brand new $60 game)
Gamestop: Would you like to purchase an extra controller, there is only one inside the box.
Dad: Will their old Xbox controller work?
Gamestop: No.
Dad: Girls go get another controller.
Gamestop: That'll be $550.
Dad: WHAT?!#@&*! How much is this?
Gamestop: The Xbox is $399, the controller is $49, the game is $59.
Dad: Girls, I don't think so, lets go.
(Him and his girls hurry out of the store, he was obviously embarrassed.)
My brother and I just stood there laughing our asses off as soon as they left the store and look at the Gamestop guy who just looks peeved as can be, i said to him, that doesn't happen often, and he replies, oh you'd be suprised. We then left.
