I'm guessing it was a DSi for starters...

This guy talks about finding a nude on his Game Boy Camera:

My favorite is somebody's comment:
I remember my friends and I would use the gameboy camera as kids to take pictures of internet porn sites for portable porn use ;)

Alright heres my gamestop story.

I go in wanting to trade in Black Ops but the son of a bitch actually helped me out and said I could get more if I look for a used game. So I look and get Crackdown plus $1.58 which Pisses me the shit off. I then proceed to buy Microsoft points with satisfactory customer service and got the fuck out of there. Fucking gamestop.

I know what you mean. I bought a game from them that did not work, took it back, and the jerks apologized and replaced the game quickly and professionally. Where do they get off?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I know right! WTF! I forgot that he got all the used copies of Crackdown and let me decide which one to take home! What the fuck gives him the right to make me choose!

I know, they accidentally put the wrong game in the box when I got a used copy there once and I returned it so they could put the right game in and those bastards apologized and switched the disk without even checking my receipt, no questions asked. The nerve of those polite assholes.

I got Pokemon Pearl for my friend on the Black Friday before last in Iowa, and he doesn't even tell me it doesn't work until mid-January, when the warranty's up. We go to our nearest one, and they switch it out, no questions asked, and after looking at the game, conclude that one of the contacts were missing. Jeez, you jerkwads, stop it!
