Naughty32623Or so says one writer at XboxToday. He writes that he was in his local Best Buy when a woman in the electronics section started getting more and more agitated as Best Buy employees told her that there were no more Xbox 360’s for sale. She then proceeded to break down and cry like a baby; her son just must have this console! After about 5 minutes, the store manager opened the display, packed the 360, and off she went. So. Hissy fit = Xbox 360? Doubtful. But if you try it, be sure to send us in pics and videos!

Oh god, that honestly gave me a sick feeling in my stomache. How can some people live with themselves.

Not that I want to call the person who wrote this a liar, but every Best Buy manager knows that the consoles are the property of Microsoft, and not of Best Buy, and as such, they don't have the power to just go and sell one. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a Manager out there stupid enough to do it.

I hate people like that. She should have camped out over night like everyone else. If I was the manager i'd call security on her. That would make it so funny.

Stupid ****!!!

I would have sluggered her until she stopped crying.

Uh huh, now imagine if it was a man crying...they would have called security. Pathetic.

Well even if it is owned by microsoft if the manager was smart he would buy a xbox when it comes instock and replace the one for shot asap. The chances of a microsoft person scrolling in and noticing it gone missing is well very very low.

It works at gamestop,too. A lady came in saying her son had cancer.And even though he was on the list to get one after he reserved it,she had to have one on launch day because of these facts. 1)her son had cancer. 2)his father had left them. 3)his grandfather just passed away. 4)she was suicidal and depressed and that she had to have this system for her son or he would pass away un fulfilled. so,my district manager bumped her up to get one on launch day. funny thing was,a week later at one of our other stores the same excuse was used by another lady about her kid having cancer. i am guessing cancer is the best way to get one if you have one reserved at a game store.

I dont believe it , Demo boots are locked to a different dashboard , they run retail games , but the dash is not the retail version , meaning you will always get the little screen with the buttons explaining hardware , games , ect. plus unfinished demos inside the HD.

^ Correct, and without the dash (which some claim is the best feature of the 360) her son didn't REALLY get a 360, so jokes on you, whiny ****!
