Spy Girl In Game Stores

Posted by Zonk on from the like,-what's-a-pixel? dept.

1up.com has a great feature up detailing the exploits of a young woman they sent in to various game stores under the cover of a clueless girlfriend. The results are both informative and hilarious. From the article: "Spy: When are the new systems coming out? Clerk: Sony just came out with a new version of the PlayStation. It's smaller, more compact, that's about it. Xbox--they haven't mentioned anything about something new coming out."

    The only interesting thing about the article was that in four tries, they managed to find someone who worked in retail who wasn't a rude clueless prick.

    It helps if you picture Comic Book Store Guy while you read the article:

    Spy: Can you surf the Web on any of these systems?

    Clerk: No [clearly disgusted].

    Spy: How about movies? Can I watch movies on any of them?

    Clerk: [Deep, horrified sigh] Yes, but you'll need to buy an extra remote for the Xbox.
