I saw a guy ask for a Playstation3… and get one

By Steve Safran 

Let this be a lesson to you: always ask. I was in GameStop picking up some games for my XBox 360, when I saw a guy buying a Playstation 3. At face value. I asked the clerk “Did he just.. ya know… buy that?” Yep. He had come in and asked if they had any, and it turns out that one of the people who had put a deposit down to reserve a PS3 changed his mind. Still, before my head exploded at the thought of how much money I could have made by turning it around on eBay, I saw something that made me feel a little better: his son was buying games so they could play when they got home.
