There's something oddly poetic about a person wanting to buy the latest videogame reduced to throwing rocks. Someone could probably put together a long list of crimes related to videogames. I don't mean the kind politicians talk about, when they claim the games inspire crimes. I mean people fighting or otherwise committing crimes over the actual physical games.
Honestly, that’s the most dramatic way to lose out on a console 😂.

When the PS4 came out, there were shortages (but not a global pandemic), so we were sent out to buy anything we could from the competition.
I heard Walmart was getting a bunch in and releasing it Sunday morning, so I get up early on Sunday, trek over to Walmart, and have the following conversation:
Me- Hi, I heard you have PS4s
WM- We do. Would you like to buy one.
Me- Just one? Any chance of getting more than one?
WM (whispers with co-worke)- Sure. How many did you want?
Me- How many do you have?
WM- 35. How many do you want?
Me- How many will you sell me?
WM (looks at co-worker) - 35. How many do you want?
Me- Thirty-fi....
(another customer walks up, and asks for a PS4)
Me- Why don't you wait on him first?
I walked out with 34 PS4s. Security escorted me to my car. Someone followed me until I pulled into my store.
Fun times.

Oh, yeah. They did ask why I was buying 34 PS4s. I told them that I wanted to make sure everyone had a merry Christmas. I mean, they have my credit card with the business name on it. I'm not going to make it easy for them. I think they thought I was doing a Secret Santa thing and giving away the consoles. But no, I made sure that 35 people had a merry Christmas. (the 34 families that bought a PS4 from me, and me when my bonus came out ;) )

That’s wild. Forget reality TV, that sounds like a whole new series: “Law & Order: Electronics Unit.”
I’d binge-watch that show for sure.
Pro
Wow! That was wild. Was it worth getting arrested for a
PS5 and having mental breakdown? People need more patience.
Exactly, imagine explaining that one to your lawyer 😬.
