Buy a Wii Instead!

Buy a Wii Instead!

Edit: To anyone coming here from DrLaunch’s dreadful digg I did this through a contest entry, and you can go through the link provided at the bottom of this post and see. Some might think it is Photoshopped. While I am capable of doing such a thing I assure you it is not a Photoshop job, but if you want to believe it is so then please be my guest. If you spread the word about its being a hoax then maybe things will quiet down from what started out as a simple contest entry. Thanks.

This is making me laugh just typing this in. This is my 2nd entry into the N+ EvWiiwhere Challenge. I planned this one for an entire week, and knew there’d be no one in there except the girl behind the counter. Sure enough there wasn’t anyone in there but her when I walked in. When I went to pick up my copy of Super Paper Mario today I fed this story to the girl behind the counter that a friend of mine took my PS2 game and turned it in there to trade in for his copy of God of War II. I said that I wanted it back, and wanted to know which one did it. The girl bought the story and I had no time to vandalize the Xbox 360 boxes lining the front display. While she was gone I did this with a white paint marker I hid in my coat. After it was done and I had my photo a friend of mine who worked there walked in and told her what was up. She had no clue it even happened. We cleaned up the boxes with damp washtowels I brought from home, laughed a lot while doing it, and I went home with this picture. Now everyone will know what to buy instead of an Xbox 360. Have fun and don’t die of laughter because I’m afraid I’m about to.

    lol, not bad. Stinks of fanboyism, though ;)

    Nice one. I was gonna do the same with the huge PS3 sample unit at our local game store but the new manager’s a pain.

    This whole contest stinks of fanboyism. Who cares? It’s fun :D. I didn’t write it on the PS3’s. I do have some dignity left even if it’s so small you’d need a microscope to see it.
