Please understand that i'm sure the following does NOT represent most PS2 fans.
I walked into my usuall GameStop to see what was new, nothing out of the usuall in the store, a few people playing kiosks, few looking at games.
So i'm talking to the manger about reserving Dead to Rights for XBOX when a guy playing at a kiosk offers up his oppinion on XBOX..."That system will be dead in a few months" The manager snikered and i asked why he thought so...
"All i hear is about the graphics and how it's better than PS2, especially latelly with the comparison between the Wreckless versions, and let me tell you it looks just as good as xbox."
My imediate thought was, it's not out yet, how does he know?? so i say " I've only seen some screen shots, and although it seems like it's getting a few nice extras, the graphics are lacking, but again i've only seen sceen shots"
At this point the manager is still got a big grin on his face, and this guy continues to talk smak while playing in the corner, when he says...
"Check it out for yourself and be honest, it's just as good IF NOT BETTER than the XBOX"
WHAT...what was he talking about, he must have been playing a demo or something right, so i walk over and sure enough there is Wreclkless on the screen, i'm completlly flustered as he hands me the PS2 contrler...
So i grab the controller and it took me a second and i bust out laughing along with the manager...
Here is the deal, this particular kiosk has a tinted window were the console goes so it's hard to see, earlier that day the manager sold an XBOX to a PS2 owner and to save a little cash he wanted to see how the PS2 controller adapter worked on the XBOX, so he hooked one up to the "XBOX KIOSK" so he could try it out and forgot to take it off.
So this guy is playing the XBOX version of WRECKLESS with a PS2 controler and not realizing it.
According to the manager this guy is a regular, and often just hangs around to comment on things he knows little about.
Needless to say, he got all P.Oed and stormed out of the store, hope you had a chukle on this one.:)
