I just went to WalMart in my town. I was actually handed an X-Box 360 - (core available only). I requested a few more items (PDZ game, cmponent cables and a remote. We got up to the counter and the clerk was unable to sell the system. He got on the phone with some people and told me that a lockdown had been added to those units for the New Year's Sale. They took the little guy right out of my hands and said, "sorry dude". I don't know if it was the little guy (my x-box) that I could hear simpering as he was dragged away, or if it was my own whining/schizophrenia talking.

Anyhow, the guy was nice, I was nice... yet dejected... and I trodded off with a "have a nice night, man, not your fault."

The end. Perhaps this will one day be expanded into a feature length documentary, "A Boy and His Box"
