I know this will sound dumb.
I work at the Best Buy here in town. Well, I come into work today at 8:30AM to get ready for the store to open at 10:00AM. There was this older woman. In a chair sitting outside the store. I really ddin't think anything of it. For we get all these weird people around the store.
We open up at 10:00AM, she doesn't come inside. So myself and another co-worker go outside and ask her what she's doing. She's waiting for the Xbox to go on sale Thursday. She wanted to make sure she was first on in the line. Then come to find out this woman is 72 years old! This Xbox isn't for her grandchildren or great-grandchildren it's for herself. I thought older people were scared of new thing's. I guess I was proven wrong today.
Then she went on to say she was able to pre-order PS2. She said she love's it. Now she want's the Xbox. So the co-worker asked her if she will be back to get the Gamecube. She looked right at him and said "You make me sick, child." I couldn't believe what she said. She said that the Gamecube was just a paperweight that was $200. "7 game's when it come's out. Didn't that Saturn have about the same number? Look at it, didn't even last 6 months." My co-worker didn't know what to say to that.
This woman know's here stuff. This woman is a real gamer. Standing/sitting outside for 2 days. Just for a game system, well *the* game system. That's a real gamer.
