    I went in a Gamestop the other day only to have one of those people in front of me. I kid you not, the guy was wearing a trenchcoat like he was just getting out of Deus Ex and tried to push this broken console (it was tested, controller had broken sticks 90% like those there). ''Oh but I can't go home if you don't take it because my taxi's waiting for me... I need this money...'' The guy had every damn cliche in the video and then some. I swear some people are just... special like that.

    A year or 2 ago I sold my old PS3 and the bastards paid me "gracia" because the controller knob was turning slightly to the right. All I had to do was correct it and there was peace for an hour or I could just hold the knob like most players and have no control, but there was no excuse to give with 10% of what they ask for from the person who buys it from them. I had to sell it online, but it was the first time I did something like this and I was in a hurry.
