Holy Crap! Is this my story? This past October I purchased an xbox 360 from my local wal-mart. When I got home it had the red rings of death. So when I took it back, the return counter lady THROUGHLY examined it and told me the system was used pointing out several marks on the controller. I agreed with her but told her I just took it out of the box less than and hour ago. She called the store manager who eventually took my side and switched the system. When I got my second system home I hooked it up and RED RINGS OF DEATH again!! This time I called wal-mart and spoke to the store manager and explained the situation. She assured me I could bring the second system back and exchange it. When I got back to wal-mart, the ELECTRONICS manager lady meets me at the return desk and insists I am breaking them because no one else had ever had this problem. After arguing with her for about 10min I insisted that I hook my 3rd system up to a tv in the electronics department to test it (with a game). So I did, it worked got it home and everything was good....until december. It stopped playing games so I sent it off to Microsoft, been good ever since. So i'm on system #4....
I for one will be selling my PS3 on ebay... I already have my auction scheduled to start on Nov. 17th at 12:10 am. I was the second person to reserve one at my local EB Games. As far as working at EB Games let me tell you I worked there last year, part-time during the summer and POST #3 is correct. Not everyone there makes $7/HR. I was only making $5.65/hr, not that I cared. I also worked (and still do) at Cingular Wireless making $11.00/hr plus commission. I literally worked at EB Games for the discount. If i still did work there however, I would STILL sell my PS3 in a heartbeat. As for all you haters who cry and say boycott ebay PS3 sales and still us with the consoles, do you realize that at the end of the day I'd still have a PS3 and you won't, so who's the bigger loser still. Either way it's win win for me!!
