DS in position 1 and PSP in position 2
Subtle :lol

oh snap :lol

 

[chinmonster]

Ridiculous.

 

[flarkminator]

Thats ****ing disgusting. As if I needed any more reason to hate EB

 

[RevenantKioku]

But at least you can touch the wasteland.

Let him be. His world is shattering around him. It is just our place to sit back and laugh.

 

[Snaku]

 

[BeEatNU]

:lol :lol

 

[Lost Fragment]

Where'd you get this, OP? And what tells us this isn't shopped.

Because...wow, I can't beleive this is real.

Ignorance is bliss.

 

[Avutta1978]

So when will Sony announce the PSP2 ?

must taste bad

 

[Testicular Sound Express]

this is so good, its gotta be fattening :lol

 

[RevenantKioku]

Ignorance is bliss.

:lol
What

 

[djtiesto]

Oh man, I laughed so hard that people in the other cubicles were IMing me asking me what was up...

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Tempy]

I'm pretty sure the PSP version handily outsold the DS version.

People don't buy DS's for Ridge Racer

Anyway, too bad stores don't do tradeins here. I have a second PSP and a DS phat to sell off.

 

[TheFallen]

Is this deal still going? Time for me to take the jump into the future.

Killzone 3 DS

confirmed.

 

[bengraven]

Off topic, I suppose, but I may consider trading in my DS for a DSlite.

 

[Beezy]

Bwahaha! :lol

If it is real, that's quite clever by EB. The DS bubble is going to burst soon, so they're trying to offload as many as they can, and get as many PSPs as possible, so when the DS does fail, they have large stocks of used PSPs they can sell for massive damage er.... profit.

Remember, they don't want you happy. They want your money. If that means scamming you out of superior hardware under the pretence that what you are getting back is better, then so be it.

:lol

 

[Particle Physicist]

:lol :lol

Of course, with the way things have been going lately (Wii and DS), the future IS the past.

does that mean i am my own father? total mind f*ck. !

 

[CountZeroInt]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony announce two new PSP skus at GDC or sometime very soon:

"PSP": The current PSP with a major price drop
"PSP 2": The current PSP with built in storage and connection to Sony's PSN to download games (Both normal PSP games and "arcade" style games).

 

[LanceStern]

:lol

 

[Testicular Sound Express]

:lol had to do it.

 

[LanceStern]

does that mean i am my own father? total mother f***. !

Fixed for truth rite?!

 

[tak]

Did Sony kick EB's dog or something? This is just to good.

 

[Neomoto]

Wow, that's harsh :lol

 

[Juice]

Wow, I haven't traded anything in for years, and I'm tempted to ditch my PSP toward a Lite. My dad is killing for a decent Sudoku machine (DS + Brain Age), and I've been craving the Lite's goodness for a while. I don't see why not to, since I haven't turned my PSP on in 6 months (and that was only to test to make sure the battery hadn't drained in the 9 previous months of disuse).

 

[Joe Molotov]

I don't see what the big deal is. That sounds like a pretty good price.

How would a "PSP2" fix what appears to be the biggest concern with the PSP - shitty software sales?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I don't know what's funnier: the ad or the childish attempts at damage control.

I'll gladly buy your olde PSP.

 

[sphinx]

that's the most humilliating blow a Playstation branded product has ever had to endure.

I think this add will be photoshopped, rehosted and brought into discussions for the years to come. I suppose this is what GCN owners around 2003 felt.

really,

ouch...

With the power of Sony fanboy love and tears. It will work if you BELIEVE in it!

 

[AirBrian]

A WINNER IS YOU!

 

[Slippers]

I must have worked in retail too long. :lol
I just don't understand how one couldn't get that it is obviously referring to the one being bought. *sigh*

When I read it, I thought it meant if you bought a second-hand PSP from EB you couldn't turn around and trade it in for $100. You could only trade a PSP in for $100 if it was one you bought new.

Shit, that'd even be better for them considering what they make off of the used systems.
It's saying you can't buy a used DSL, which makes sense 'cause they don't want you using that much credit to their money makers.

 

[DSN2K]

harsh :lol

 

[Eteric Rice]

Pfft, love AND tears? In the first Pokemon movie it only took ONE tear to bring Ash back to life!

But for this, there aren't enough tears in the world... :lol

 

[Beer Monkey]

$100 isn't bad, Game Rush here has been giving a whopping $60 for a core PSP for quite some time (which surprised me, because they usually give very good trade).

 

[reggieandTFE]

Those ****ers were going to give me $28 when I wanted to trade in my DS. I sold it to a friend for 30 bucks instead. ****ers.

Nice friend. :lol

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

All joking aside

It wouldn't surprise me to see the exact same thing reversed for the DS from EB. The do promos like this all the time.

 

[M3Freak]

thats pretty vicious

I got my PSP in Chandler, AZ, when I waas vacationing there over Christmas. I walked in to an EB and decided I was going to buy one.

Me: Hi. I'd like to purchase a PSP and Daxter, please.
Dude: Okay. I'll be right back.

[Dude goes to the back. I thought he went to get new stock.]

Dudette shows up, and pulls out a PSP, cables, and a bunch of other shit.

Dudette: Doesn't this PSP look good? No scratches, blah..blah...blah
Me: I don't want a used PSP. I want a brand new one.
Dudette: Are you sure? There's nothing wrong with this one. You get an EB warranty.
Me: I'm visiting from Canada. I don't want a used one, and the warranty is most probably useless to me since I'm not staying here.
Dudette: You should really get this. It costs less.
Me: I don't care. I want a new one. Besides, my credit card extends warranties.
Dude: How long does it give you?
Me: Doubles the warranty.
Dude: I'm just trying to help you, but that will only give you 6 months.
Me: O_-

Dudette stares at me like she's about to cry.

Me: Give me a new PSP and a new Daxter game.
Dudette: Ok.

I only mention two, but there were four, maybe five employees that day. All of them were ganging up on me. I've never experienced anything like that before in my life.

Then, as I'm PAYING for the PSP, the another Dudette says she wants a PSP, and the first Dudette has the gal to say "Don't bother - it sucks". I should have at that point said:

Me: For ****'s sake. Give me back my money. You can take the PSP and shove it.
Dudette:
Me: You're actually dumb enough to ruin a sure fire sale because I didn't buy the stupid used PSP? Are you STUPID?
Dudette:

Alas, I didn't. I should have said something, but I didn't. I really shouldn't have bought it from there.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that ad makes sense because EB wants to RAPE more people that want to buy new DSes, PSPs, etc.

I'd rather go to Zellers, Future Shop, etc. At least they're happy to sell you stuff!!

$100 isn't bad, Game Rush here has been giving a whopping $60 for a core PSP for quite some time (which surprised me, because they usually give very good trade).

It's only $100 if the trade-in is towards a DSLite. I think trade-in value is $65 for a PSP otherwise.
