Something interesting happened to me today.

No offence but lots of people who play a Wii have never owned another console, he could've asked because he thought you never played or heard of the other consoles. You shouldn't have gone off on him, an it didn't make any sense for him to call his manager.

I was looking for a psp v1000. (I didn't want one of the new ones for reasons I do not wish to disclose)
I asked the clerk at Gamestop who responded with "why?". I had to give some bullshit reason before he finally told me they didn't have any and I needed to drive to a Gamestop across town. Then he asked if I would like to buy Nintendo DS instead.

What I'm wondering is how the hell you can play the wii for 5-10 hours.

Twilight Princess? Metroid Prime? Mario Galaxy? SSBB?

If he's as dedicated a wii player as he claims, I would imagine he's beaten them all already.

Alright well then SSBB with friends. There is something about the franchise that keeps me coming back for more.

By playing it.
Ha ha
But really. It's mostly due to Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mariokart Wii and Pokemon Battle Revolution Online(all three)
And with No More Heroes 2,Red Steel 2 and Monster Hunter 3 coming up, but xbox 360 will be a dust collector again.

I would suggest Madworld if you don't already have it. Got it used for 18 bucks. I wouldn't pay much more for it though.

Have it. Beat it. Still play it. Multiplayer is a blast. (to me)

The art style wears on my eyes after like an hour of play though.

I got used to it, but I see what you mean though.

Well when the PS3 was newish I kept going in to EB and looking and inquiring about it. I was like 85% of the way there, just the $750 AUD price tag was a bit off putting at the time.

Luckily my bro was just on a stopover in Tokyo and rang me up and asked if I wanted one as they were about $400 and had dualshock 3's which wernt out in Aus for another 6-12 months. So I got that..

Went into EB to buy games, the bloke went off his tits at me, screaming and yelling getting red in the face saying i was a fool for getting a Japanese PS3, most of the people in the shop were stunned, so I just said forget it and dont even go in that shop or any EB to browse anymore.

As for me, I had a guy who wouldn't stop trying to get me to not buy Castlevania Lament of Innocence for PS2.

I had the opposite problem. I had a guy that wouldn't leave me alone because he wanted me to buy Lament of Innocence so badly. -_-

I can't believe that guy though. I hope he got a nice little talking to from his manage about that. You don't question what the customer wants! You help them and that's it.

I had something kind of like that happen to me. Well, it reminded me of it anyways. I was looking for Ico and I didn't know it was on a blue disc and PS2s sometimes don't play them, blah blah blah...
I called and asked if they had it in stock. The GameStop guy said that it was a rare game and he hadn't seen it in forever so he didn't think they had it. Sure enough, they had a copy and he seemed really surprised about it.
So he then proceeds to explain to me that it's a blue disc and he asked if I had the regular or slim PS2. I told him I had the regular and he said that I shouldn't buy the game because my PS2 probably wouldn't play it and I should find a friend that has a blue disc game (none of my friends have one, I know that) and try it and see if it plays, etc.
So I asked him if he could hold it for me anyways because I really wanted to try Ico and it was the only copy anywhere near me so I thought I'd take my chances. Then I asked him if it had the original case because I'd love it if it did. He said he'd try to look for it.
So, I drive down there and he said that he couldn't find the case and wanted to know if I still wanted it. I said yes and I went just to check for myself for the case. The case was right in front of my face. -_-
I grab it and right before I pay, he tries to convince me again that I shouldn't waste my time with it because it probably won't play. I told him that's what return policies and receipts are for.
Basically, I think he might've been trying to talk me out of the game so he could buy it himself once he realized they actually had a copy. He just really irked me because he wouldn't let it go. At all. He just kept pushing me, saying I shouldn't buy the game. The funny thing? I haven't had a single problem with my Ico disc. Jerk. >.>

I mean I am a huge comic book nerd and love the look but it burns my eyes after awhile lol. And if what I hear is true Portal would probably trigger my motion sickness
