Sold a PS3 for Best Buy the other day

[Blu-Ray Buckeye]

I was looking at PS3 games and some random dude asked me about the PS3. Actually I was wearing generic corporate garb, dockers and a blue short sleeved shirt, so he tought I was an employee. Told him I wasn't an employee but he wanted advice on PS3 anyway. He informed me that he had the old X-Box.

I started out by asking what he was interested in. He said he was an avid gamer and was interested in HD but didn't yet have an HD TV but planned on getting one soon. I pointed out the advantages of the built-in blu-ray player and the superiority of blu-ray over HD-DVD... given the studio support he thought blu-ray was the clear choice. Once you get that far the rest is easy given the cost of buying a blu-ray player separately; Didn't even have to argue about the costs of the 360 add-on.

I asked further about wireless capabilities and having a built-in hard drive, etc. Seemed he thought all of those were requirements too so we compared PS3 to 360 Elite. Once you realize how close those are in price, the blu-ray player makes it a slam dunk.

He picked up a box and thanks me... they should pay me commission. I was surprised how easy it sells itself.
