Review of Play station 2 (PS2) video game. The game was purchased at Best Buy by myself.
I brought my room mate Fred with along with me for the ride. He came with his cane into the store. We were obviously two older gentle men.
The young lady when she saw we were interested in a video game she appeared confounded.
“Anything like a 2600 machine or that type of video? Do you have something simple. What are you selling these days?”
That sent the young lady grabbing at her hair. She said she had nothing of that kind.
Then I simple said “what is your most inexpensive video game?”
She pointed to the Play Station 2 video game in a box. “It runs about $99.00” she said with a smile.
“Oh great I said but does it need a converter to hook up into a regular antenna connection I said like a 300 ohm?”
“I don’t know,” she said
“Well” I said “we only want the game if we can set it up with are TV in the kitchen you see and that has an antenna connection.”
Then she began to dart away.
“Where are you going I said?”
“Here talk to this guy!” She said
Then I was talking to the direct TV guy.
“How much are you currently paying now?” he questioned as if he already knew.
I tried to dodge the question.
“Its not bad price.”
“You know you could have a dish…”
“I live in an apartment”
“You could talk to the Land Lord he could put up a poll their might be others in the building who feel the same as you.”
“Well I don’t know how I feel.”
Just then the young Lady and the guy named Tom came back and Tom said
“This is what you need.”
Sure enough it was the converter.
Fred and I were very pleased. They did seem to be growing tired to my endless list of questions, yet still I had more as I did not want to make several trips to the store for a single video game.
“Does it come with two controllers?”
“There is only one in the box!” she said.
“So I added another controller to my collection.”
“The cords are they in the box that hook up to everything”
“Simple co axle” this information she knew well and was quite proud of herself.
Which I might say is no small feet for someone to remember working with so many products in a store.
Then it came down to Pick out the actual video game most of the video game seemed silly. Some seemed a down right deterrent to human growth and development such as “Grand Theft Auto” which I did not get. Instead, I thought I might get something that was educational and historically chronicling, so I purchased “Call to Duty” however the game is violent also and is some what negative in nature. At least in the little I gleaned playing the short amount of the game.
Set up of the game was complicated. The instructions were not that easy to understand. There were a lot of hidden costs. They failed to tell me about a memory card which I had to go back to another store and purchase to play the game. You can not really expect them to remember all that about every video game in the store. However, being a notaries one stop shopper that is hard to take in this world of super instant gratification. The game did prove of incredible worth however, when we were able to play the Three Stooges “Malice in the Palace” the black and white version was playing in are very own kitchen
Which Fred and I very much enjoyed it very much.
