Fox News - Wednesday, 26 Dec 2007:
A Camarillo, California teen dreamed of getting a popular game for Christmas, and he got it, almost. 13-year-old Brandon Burns tore the gift wrapped box to find that his parents got him a PlayStation 3. But when he opened the sealed box what he found was a yellow telephone book.
He says was amused by the whole thing.
His parents weren't amused. They spent $500 for the PS3 and say they plan on taking the phone book, the box, and their receipt back to the Thousand Oaks mall store where they bought it.

Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
This looks like a great way to play.
Rocksmith+, the award winning music-learning app that teaches you guitar and piano with thousands of hit songs, is coming to PlayStation and Steam on June 6, and is available to wishlist now on both platforms.
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
those parents put the phone book in there.
Even ive got to admit thats hilarious,,,....honestly who doesnt check the product first???even if its a gift ...since i forked over the cash...I have to inspect the merchandise....lol the parents are idiots and should be b!tch slapped at the kids discretion
Id slap my parents for buying me those two games over the really good games on the system. He is not missing much by not being able to play Pirates. He should exchange those for Uncharted and UT3.
My experience with EB would dictate that they will be jerks about this and not exchange... hopefully they know it was on the news the night before and do the right thing.

If you box has phone books or a BANNED machine ... either way ... you are out a machine.
People with this attitude are what causes this to happen. I actually had a friend of mine buy and Elite and get it home to find it weird the box was shut tight with GLUE ... opened it up and he also found phone books.
Lucky for him Wally World was still open and he was just there. He called ASAP and had it sorted out.
As for this kid, I really do hope it works out for him and he gets a PS3 (since his folks paid for it) and the EB are not a$$e$$ about it.
LOL. The wait begins even before he can use his ps3.
