So last week I was finally going to purchase a PS3 after a lot of thought (I want to get a 60gig with BC) So I was going to go to Gamestop, but after so many sotries on here, i went to a best buy. So I walk into the best buy and go to customer service.
Me: Do you have any 60 gig PS3's in stock
CS: Umm.. yeah i think so
SO after a while she goes and gets the PS3, and I go to the counter to pay for it. And I pick up Resistance, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword
Cashier: Is that all.
Me: Yeah, oh and these three games (put games on counter)
Cashier: huh, really. You really want these games?
Me: Umm, yeah, why not?
Cashier: (laughing) nothing, anything else
Me: Do you think I shouldnt get them (im a conversational person)
Cashier: I mean, to be honest, I didn't know, you know, black people liked online shooters.
Me: huh? what makes you think that?
Cashier: I mean I have black friends (the most overused line ever), but I just didnt think you liked games like that, or even games like Heavenly sword. You know we got Madden on sale!
Me: Are you saying that I should pick up madden because im black?
Cashier: I mean thats what alot of black people get. But its usually for ps2. I didnt know black people liked PS3 either, its kind of a hardcore system. You know what blu-ray movies are, right?
At this point im more than annoyed so I just put my wallet back and leave. Go get something to eat and try and cool down, and say I'll just do this another day, but now I have no drive to get a PS3. I mean when I was out before, it was kind of an impulse buy. ( i just needed something to play) but I think i'll just wait till next year. (not because of the racist best buy employee, but I think i would have had some buyers remorse if I would have bought it then)....oh well. But yeah its time to end racism people.

I kind of had this problem too!!!!!!!!!! I went to a gamestop and ask about the ps3, beforei owned a ps3,and the clerk says to just get a 360 cause all the sports games are gonna be the same or better on the 360 and the system is cheaper. Then I go on and ask about exclusives and he assumes i know only about sports games again and says "metal gear solid 4" is now a 360 exclusive so i dont correct him at this point i just go along with it to see how much more bull he can shovel. All through this he keeps going back to sports games, there release dates, and there features.
Keep in mind this was about sometime this summer when ninja gaiden just came out. He says that ninja gaiden is the only exclusive availble for the ps3 at the time and even thats on the old xbox. At this point i just left in disgust. I mean i didnt even have the energy to tell him off.
The bad part about it is im black and i dont and NEVER have owned any sports games, and i could care less about them.
