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."

    I subscribe to EGM and this section with the exact same content came out months ago. In the corner of the section on the site it even says "*Interviews conducted before the PSP's release." So that just shows how outdated this is.
    You can hardly laugh at the Clerks when nobody really knew about the next-gen consoles at the time

  2. "Xbox media center" by Suddenly_Dead · · Score: 2, Informative

    and it's the only console that can hook up to a PC (through the Xbox Media Center).

    The Xbox Media Center is a homebrew program requiring a softmod or modchip. They might have meant "Media Center Extender for the Xbox" (Microsoft product, works with Media Center PCs), but at least we know that 1UP.COM uses and endorses mod chips now :)
