Dude Walks Out on a PS3

"After 30 minutes and a full store, only one of the bundles had sold. The cashier looked at me like a pusher looks at a junkie as if he knew I couldn't resit the Sony hype machine. "Realized you were crazy huh?," he said. With that I began to dial up my closest gamer buddies and inform that I would be able to deliver them an "at cost" PS3 console system for the holiday. Each person I called said "no thanks." Even the people that waited in line for the PS3 at launch had decided to move onto the Xbox 360 or wait for a Nintendo Wii. No one wanted it! How could this be? Only two weeks after $10,000 sale prices, riots, robberies, assaults, and now no one ever cares? With that, I realized the PS3 just wasn't worth the hype. My brother looked at me and said, "Quick, lets head over to Circuit City now. If we can get there fast enough, we may have a chance at the Wii."
