As this is part 3 of an ongoing series, please read
Part 1 and
Part 2 if you desire to.
My Xbox 360 was sent out via UPS on Monday of this week. The first day without it, yesterday, I gave in to my thoughts. I went out and I bought an arcade edition as I just use my original hard drive. My plan is, because I am not overflowing with money, that I will do one of two things. (1), I will take it back within 30 days, say it is defective/not working, and get my two hundred ninety-something dollars back. Or, (2), I will sell it to my cousin at the same price I bought it for, because he rocks with me (#1 drummer) all the time and wants one. But if he can't buy it, does Wally-World ask questions? Would I have trouble taking it back and get trampled on by old Wal-Mart ladies?
And also, if anyone has anything to add about the morality of taking a perfectly fine 360 back to Wal-Mart, go ahead.
Ahh, it's so nice to see those green lights again...

Unless.... you throw a huge fit.
I see people do that a lot and it seems to work.
"Today at a local Wal-Mart, a man hangs from a security camera housing, while throwing ceiling tiles down at the customers below. Find out why, tonight at eleven."
THATS WHAT IM TAAAAAAAAAAAAALKIN ABOUT!
"I TALKED TO SOMEONE AT CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. SHOULD I CALL THEM NOW? WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND WHAT STORE NUMBER IS THIS?"
That's what me and my roommates used when our 360 broke 32 days after purchase. The thing is, we really did talk to corporate but I have used that a few times since then on other stuff and it worked fine.
That being said I saw a guy return a jar of peanuts that was 95% gone. He claimed they gave him nightmares. They took it no questions asked.
I laughed and cried at the same time. Things like this make me lose faith in world.
Oh. My. Goodness. I almost died reading that. I should tell them my Xbox put voices in my head and told me to destroy my PS3.
