:lol:

Just horrible.

I think you should go buy one w/ the geek squad option. Or pay me $100 and I will do it for you. I saw the same ad a few months back and laughed, too.

Can you supply a link? The pic is not working for me for some reason and I'd love to be in on the joke as well. :(

:cool:

basically a store is offering a "team" that will come and plug in your ps3 for 130 bucks.

frankly its obscene.

[MikePizzoff]

:lol: I feel bad for the people taking up this "offer".

[darth los]

If they do fall for it it serves them right.

I was never down with that "geek squad" stuff anyway.

Who wants to come work for my new company? It's called Dorky Cunts and we go around doing installations for people - you know, difficult stuff like clocks, soap dishes, candles, furry dice, lamps, etc. - and charge £50 a visit, undercutting the Geek Squad by a fair whack. Sure, it will cut into our margins, but even with our VAST overheads, I think we can make a profit. :p

My favourite part is the little slogan down at the bottom "Go Ahead. Use us."

As if it's almost TOO COOL to be used, but these guys just nod their heads and tell you to "Go ahead. Use us.... For 129 bucks."

129 fucking bucks!? That shit they're offering takes maybe, at it's most, 30 minutes and CAN be done in 10 if you're in a hurry.

[AcesandEights]

It'd be interesting if someone who could do a convincing old lady voice could call the store and ask about the PS3 for her "grandson Jimmy" and then see if they try and sell the $129 package to her.

"Oh, is it very difficult to set up?" I'd love to see what someone working at Best Buy would have to say in such an instance.

I feel sorry for the poor bastard at the checkout point who's probably forced by the management to try to argue gullible customers into paying extra for the "Geeks".

It's also interesting that they use technical terms like "firmware" (a concept which even many hardcore gamers don't fully understand) in an ad obviously aimed at technical novices. The apparent intention is to make the reader think:
"Firmware? I don't even know what that IS! Fuck, and I thought it would just be a matter of plugging in two wires! Well, I don't want to look stupid in front of my bratty, impatient kids, I'll just pay for the Geeks. After all, it must be a fucking major job if they're charging the same as a plumber's call-out charge just to set it up!"

Imo, that's part of the reason why sony and other companies make their products so fucking complicated to use. You ever try and put video on a psp. I'd rather have a colonoscopy dude.

Most probably come out of pocket for that stuff to avoid the headache. (even though what they wanna charge you for here is really simple) I'm virtually certain that the market for this stuff are people with aarp cards.

Clocks can be tricky to setup for real. Keep in mind, I am referring to clocks with drop weights, gears, and key cranks. Such as old grandfather clocks. Some clocks also have to be on a level surface or they will not work right. If the weights are not properly balanced, then your clock will either run too fast or too slow.

Sorry, Dorky Cunts only install digital alarm clocks.

and watches, there a wireless hands free interface with minute to minute updates!

And wall clocks! This is, if the wall in question possesses a correct chrono-wallular connection port (nail). If not, we can install a compatible interface for you, but it will set you back another sixty beans because the installation is a tricky job requiring specialist equipment (hammer) and training (hellsing will be our resident hammerer).
