They do what, brainwash customers into buying six of a thing just to sell layer? How did they manage that?

If I knew that I'd probably be a lot richer. : o Ooh I do have a relevant story though: a friend of mine got caught up in a rush of his co-workers who found out a local store had a bunch of NES Classics when those were the thing, so they all jumped in a car, charged over there, and bought at least one each. Later my friend wondered why the hell he bought it, he hadn't been planning to get one at all. He never opened it; sold it months later to a friend. He works at a different place now so hopefully he won't get rolled into buying a SNES one. Oh and bonus story: my brother thought he would go one better, and got me a 620-in-one NES Classic rip-off off of Amazon for my birthday--not that I had ever expressed any interest in the NES Classic or anything. The "MINI GAME Anniversary Edition Entertainment System" has horrible video out (composite, of course), but I will admit the D-pad turned out to be less tortuous than it looked at first glance. The games are mostly hacks or bootlegs, like the cute "Fruit Pig" where your pig character catches and eats falling fruit. My brother was surprised and a little downcast when I told him the thing was a bootleg. : P

Sort of, except I didn't want him to get me anything at all!

that was a constant challenge for me across the years. I've finally gotten it down to just my mom and her sister that get me gifts (and who I have to give gifts to). Well, and my girlfriend, but that's actually fun!
