Have a hissy fit and get an Xbox 360

There’s a way to get an Xbox 360 before Christmas, as long as you’re prepared to dig deep

Over the past few days we’ve discussed the Xbox 360 shortage at length. We’ve told you that EB Games won’t catch up on pre-orders until the new year, that the Future Shop has Xbox 360s left in expensive “bundles,” and we’ve talked about how eBay sellers are making a killing online. Well, there’s another way to get an Xbox 360 before Christmas, provided you’re prepared to work for it.

While perusing my local Best Buy today, I came across a performance almost good enough for the big screen. A woman was standing in the middle of the electronics section, becoming increasingly agitated to the point where she actually started crying. At first she couldn’t tell what she was talking about, but then I realized the source of the drama.

The woman had come to Best Buy wanting to buy a new Xbox 360 as a gift for her son. But of course, the store sold out days ago. Instead of accepting defeat and browsing, the lady told the electronics clerk that she wanted the one on display. She in a calm voice explained to him that the display console was not for sale. It was then that the “water works” began. I’m not talking about simple sobs; no, this lady was wide-eyed and crying like a newborn.

After about 5 minutes of this, and the inevitable involvement of the store manager, the screen unlocked and the Xbox 360 [http://www.xboxtoday.ca] it was carefully returned to a box and handed over to the devoted mother.

What can we learn from this? Hissy fits the job. So if he’s exhausted all other possibilities and still wants his new Xbox 360, we suggest you go to your local dealer and unleash a fit of hysteria like the world has never seen. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll get an Xbox 360.
