What does ue want tob buy with these gift cards? Not a PS4. Not an Xbox One. Not a 3DS. Nope this golden child would like to purchase a Vita. So I think to myself, " sweet i remember seeing one when I came in this morning!". So with that in mind I asked him what games he wanted and he immediately sad "Call of Duty". Me, being the good citizen like I am, informed him that COD for Vita isnt worth the $32 we charge for it. So I ask him what games he likes and he told me he really liked Lego Indiana Jones and Soccer. So because he didnt want to try Lego Marvel or Lego Chima I convinced him to buy Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Fifa 14, and the Sly Collection. I also hooked him up with some trigger grips, 32gb memory card, and PS+. So with all that out of the way I put all the games/accessories by the register and go up to the cage where we keep all the new games and handhelds. To my horror the "Vita" I saw up there in the morning was just an empty display case that some neanderthal put in there because they were too lazy too put it back. So I check my inventory system and of course no best buy within about 50 miles have them. So I go and them the bad news and understandably the boy is upset since he really wanted one. So even though I know that im not going to get the sale I check all the local Gamestops, Walmarts, and Targets to see if they haves some and NO ONE within 50 miles has one. Hell not even Gamestop had any pre-owned. So in the end the boy went home with no Vita though I did tell him to pre-order one at Gamestop but who knows what he'll do. I honestly can't believe there are no Vita's whatsoever within 50 miles (100 miles in Gamestop's case) of Charlotte. |
That's a pretty sad story.
