Oops: http://cheapassgamer.com/cheapyd/bbgamespot.html ;) (Taken down at GameSpot & Best Buy's request)
thanks shipwreck and wombat for some quick "on the spot" assistance.


Here is the text. The questions are real, obviously the answers are provided by CAG.

Ask our multi-cultural gaming pros all your next-gen questions.
We may not know what the fuck we are talking about, but look how non-threatening we are!

Q: Will the next gen consoles all have wireless controllers?
A: Only if you buy them at Best Buy. Circuit City's controllers are not only corded, they are made of lead!


Q: As of now does it look like PS3 will be better than Xbox 360?
A: This will depend on what you mean by "better". If by better, you mean "more expensive", then yes, PS3 is better.


Q: I heard the PS3 will come in two different configurations. Can you explain the difference between the two?
A: I can explain the differences, but if you're thick enough to be reading this, you wouldn't understand it anyway. Just buy the more expensive one you cheap bastard.


Q: The Nintendo Wii has a really strange controller. Will that controller work with all games?
A: What are you calling "strange"? fuck you, my mom designed that controller. Of course it will work with all games...asshole.


Q: Will I be able to play all my current PS2 and Gamecube games on the new PS3 and Nintendo Wii systems?
A: Why do you need to play old games when you can buy new ones at Best Buy? And why wouldn't you when the new Gamer's Gift Card comes with a free handjob?! And what is this "Gamecube" you speak of?

"The PS3 will also have a more flexible controller that will be more apt to playing sports games."

I dont know what that means
 
[quote name='Bestbuy']This will depend on what you mean by "better". The PS3 will be able to play the new Blu-Ray DVD...but then you have to ask the question if that will catch on to be the next DVD format. The PS3 will also have a more flexible controller that will be more apt to playing sports games.[/quote]

WHAT? That's fucked up and makes no sense. I guess they are warming up Joe Maddenlover for a $600 purchase this Winter :lol:
 
I like how they consider the Wii and PS3 to be "next gen", but not the 360. No, really, I do like it, since I think the 360 is garbage. ;)

Random numbers pulled out of your ass = lose.
 
How will the PS3 be better at sports games? So I can tip the controller? How is that going to help? I hope MS sues them! :)
 
I swear.. picture that behind the pop up window they are all standing at urinals...... Maybe Cheapy had it wrong and besides multicultural they have also included a transexual in the bunch.?
 
[quote name='mykevermin']HAHA! Black people don't work at Best Buy![/QUOTE]

This fact brought to you by... Best Buy! Racist bastards.
 
First, awesome parody Cheapy. Second, what the hell is the matter with those BB employees? The guy on the left looks like he's having some kind of sympathetic moment with his head cocked sideways...he looks like he's getting in touch with his feminine side (a true sign of a FPS guy, right?). The lady in the middle...well, we know she's only touched one type of controller in her life...and it was the joystick that got her the ad gig. Finally, that guy on the right. Looks like the photographer was holding the rubber ducky to the BB guy's right side when the pic was taken.

I said it once.... Just imagine they are all (including the middle chic) standing at urinals... the question answers itself.
 
You think I got kicked out because of just the aquarium? Nah, it was the handjob. And you know what else? It was worth it.

That's what my friend said about Vegas.
 
Even the friggin employees at Best Buy can't get it straight that it's just the Wii, not the Nintendo Wii?
 
The PS3 controller comment, in general, is general consensus of retard clerks and floor help in video game stores and electronic stores. "Yo. Madden is tight as Hell, bro. Have you played Vice City, yet? Nintendogs is gay."

Every time I'm in Best Buy or GameStop (why I'm there, God knows why), I heard pro-Sony jargon -- "jargon" as in "absolute shit". Kind of like the time I overheard a Best Buy employee claiming they had Super Mario titles available for the Playstation 2 to an unknowing mother consumer.

It's not that they're sabotaging people into buying Sony... it's that they're fucking stupid -- and their bias leans towards the big S.
 
hee hee heeeeelarious. nice one cheapy.

wow, some marketing genius over at Best Buy; now they've really garnered some videogaming cred'.
 
"The PS3 will also have a wireless Bluetooth enabled controller that is very similar to that of the Wii."

What the fuck? How is the PS3 controller "very similar" to the Wii-mote? These morons were obviously paying close attention during E3 (not).
 
I don't really understand what's so funny about the ad. Honestly, it seems targeted towards little children, younger teens, and maybe parents/relatives.

As for the "white people" thing, well, I rarely see any form of caucasian working at game stores or game departments. The only exception is the
usual petite white girl working a game store. I've seen this kind of employee in TN and out of TN.......

Still, I don't understand the problem with the ad..they do it for TV's and computers and pretty much anything, one of Best Buy's ideas is to simplify technology for the customer...

Considering how much you guys work the "gamer's gift card", I think you should be grateful to Best Buy..

I wouldn't agree with that in every aspect. Prior to the 360 release, I constantly heard people trying to convince me that I should get THIS system and the PS3 wouldn't really be any better. They just push whatever system is about to come out. Now, in the case of two competing systems arriving at the same time (and make no mistake, despite Nintendo's rhetoric-for-pity about not competing with Sony, they are)....in that case, I agree that Sony gets pushed harder. They're going to make more money off the PS3 between people buying both games, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs.

[quote name='Wombat']"The PS3 will also have a more flexible controller that will be more apt to playing sports games."

I dont know what that means[/QUOTE]

Perhaps another "great" idea from Sony. Bring on the rubber controllers!

The parody is fantastic. It is nice to finally have bestbuy clear up my questions. And to think i was going to buy a 360. Thanks BESTBUY!!!!!!!!!

Versatile maybe?

Oh you poor poor soul... IGN is no better.
 
So it takes them 1 month to come up with 5 answer's every month.
I can see Best Buy employes able to google that info in a month.
 
I got a good laugh when I saw the real ad on Gamespot this morning. Cheapy, your parody is hilarious. Better not leave it up too long though or else you'll be hearing from the asshat corporate suits at BB!!
 
Lol great stuff. It's true no ethnic people work at Best Buy. All managers are white males and underlings are white/asian males/females.
