sqlrobWe hit the Comp-USA closing sale near us. I managed to get a Mac comedy adventure game set in Egypt, no way to turn that one down.
But, in the display case was something that I hope is still there come store closing. There was a returned XBox 360, with an "as is" sticker on it. For anyone that's been paying attention to the 360 saga in gaming news, that alone is a red flag. Even more fun was what was written on the sticker. "Minor issue: Does not power up". Since when is that minor? It was marked down to $188, but why buy a broken console for that much?

But yeah, I'm with you. I'd rather spend more money on something functional. ;)
