...okay, I went out to buy another memory card for my PS2, and I came home with a Gamecube.
It was 25$! And I always play old games ANYWAY--my gaming is about as far from cutting edge as can be imagined--and by the time I've worked my way through the backstock of Zelda games, the Wii will hopefully no longer be rarer than hen's teeth. (Watch. Because of this, I will have one fall in my lap tomorrow...)
...and goddamn, that was one persuasive salesguy. Good thing he didn't have a used car he was trying to unload.
And I now have a sample of every console in the house, possibly including the Dreamcast (unless it's in a box in the attic at James's) and thus have permanently crossed a geek horizon. And I am at peace with that.
