I was in a video game store looking at the XBox 360 and the PS3 for Turbo.
I was thinking about getting him one for Christmas and wanted to see how much they cost.
Turns out? A lot.
I don't know squat about these things so I asked the counter guy which one is better.
What ensued was so funny....
Geek 1: I think the way to go is the PS3 it's the best system for the money. It has the most games, it's faster, it is more user friendly..
Geek 2 sidles over with a look on his face like he just smelled something bad
G2: hey, Robert ( he said "hey, Robert" in such a way that it sounded to me like he was saying, "hey Dumbass" ) did you just say the PS3 is better? 'Cause that doesn't make any sense.
G1: um..yeah. It's way better.
G2: Oh, so I guess the drug policy here has been revoked because you must be high if you think that the fact that the 360 is way easier to program games for and the development time for games is so much quicker means nothing?
G1: Who cares about development times when the sheer volume of the games available for the PS3 far outweighs the 360, David! (the way he said David actually made it sound to me like "baby raper")
G2: who cares about game volume when the games suck?!
G1: Two words for you dude: BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY!
G2: Backward compatibility! Backward compatibility?! (His voice rising higher than a 15 year old Anthony Michael Hall on helium)
What about pixels per square inch?! What about Multi- player online capability!?
I said "thanks guys" and backed out before geek blood was shed in a furious slap fight.

Oh my stars, that actually happens? I thought stuff like that was only thought up by tv writers. awesome.
It was awesome! I feel like doing research on some of the games and then asking "which is better Halo 2 or World of Warcraft" and then just stepping back and watching the dance..
