Sorry, I know more about psps. Trust me.

I would definitely consider myself up to date on everything psp. I'm sure everyone else who works here would agree.

This guys comes in and buys FFVII: Crisis Core and then leaves. he comes back a few minutes later and he lets me know that he need a system to play it on. I show him our selection of psps. a couple of old phaties and 1 new slim. he buys the slim (which happes to be the silver one that originally came with the daxter bundle) and leaves. a couple of minutes later he returns and looks a little mad, but hes so monotone it really hard to tell.

"Hey!, wheres the 1 GB memory stick this is supposed to come with."

he was almost right. that particular model did come with one new, but we had it priced appropriately to reflect that it did not, 199.99 new bundle versus 139.99 used no bundle.

"actually, the 1 GB stick comes seperatly, we sell them for 29.99"

"I'm not paying anything! you guys owe me a memory stick!"

I proceed to explain to him exactly what i wrote earlier. bottom line, it comes seperately.

"thats not fair!"

"no it really is pretty fair. what wouldn't be fair is if we bundled them together and charged $189 when we could save you money by selling them seperately."
*note: 189.99 is a number i completely made up at the time, but upon searching my computer, it turned out to be right.*

this seemed to please him.

"oh, i'm sorry man, i didn't realize that was the case, sorry about that."

I was a little shocked that i wasn't about to continue the arguement, but hey, i'm not complaining. in fact i used this point in tiime to pump the store.

"Hey its allright, happens all the time, but remeber though, everywhere else will force you into a bundle, and we really hate doing it here."

"Thanks man!"

and he left.......
