Faulty PlayStation 2
19 December 2000
Hola! Merry Christmas, boys and... girls? Phoning Honey, Santa's official telephonic prankster, here. Why am I here? I bring to you a gift of telephone transcript tomfoolery!
Once again, I've been playing merry mischief, phoning games shops, and pranking them up good.
Let me say now - the names have been changed to protest the innocence of both myself and the store staff involved. Phone it on, Handsome Elf!
MEGGA GAMES, NORTHERN ENGLAND
MG: Hello, Megga.
US: Hi there. Is that the small independent games shop?
MG: Um, yes. This is Megga games. How can I help you?
US: Ah good. Yes, you see I bought my kids one of these PlayStation 2s, and we just collected it...
MG: You were lucky to get one!
US: Please don't interrupt. Thing is, we've just picked up this PlayStation 2 from the precinct, and I'll be stuffed if we can get it to work at all.
MG: Have you spoken to the shop you got it from?
US: Yes, of course I have. But they were outright rude to me, and I no longer wish to take my custom there.
MG: Right, but if it isn't working...
US: But I was told you are of the fixing. That you can fix stuff.
MG: We can take a look at it for you, but I can't guarantee anything. So what exactly is the problem? Is it like a blank screen?
US: No, no, no. It seems to come on, but we just get these floating cubes. It doesn't actually seem to play games.
MG: So you put the disc in, and then what happens? Does it just go round?
US: Does what go round?
MG: The disc.
Do you know of any important moments from the annals of Digi history that have been omitted? If so, then mail me (superpage58@gmail.com) right now, man. Credit will be duly given for anything that gets put up.
