console hardware eb games

Well, let me tell ya, buying this console hardware thingy from EB Games, it’s a whole to-do, ain’t it? First off, you gotta figure out what these young’uns are even talkin’ about. Xbox this, PlayStation that… Back in my day, a radio was fancy!

So, I went down to that EB Games store, the one by the big supermarket? Yeah, that one. Figured I’d get my grandson somethin’ for his birthday. He’s always yappin’ about these “video games.” Walked in there, and it was like walkin’ into another world. Lights flashin’, screens blinkin’, all these kids runnin’ around… Made my head spin, it did.

Anyways, I asked this young fella behind the counter – he looked like he hadn’t shaved in a week – about them console hardware things. He started rattling off all sorts of names and numbers… “Series X,” “PlayStation 5,” “Two terabytes somethin’ somethin’…” I just stood there starin’ at him like a cow at a new gate.

• First thing, he said somethin’ about how the Xbox Series X is real fast. Faster than a greased pig, I reckon. And it’s got this “two terabyte SSD.” Don’t ask me what that means. Sounds like a whole lotta space to me. He said it comes in black, like the night sky, but a special kind called “Galaxy Black.” Fancy, huh?
• Then, he showed me this PlayStation 5. Said it was real popular. Looked like a spaceship to me. All white and shiny. He said EB Games got ’em. Good for them, I guess.
• He also said I could bring in my old games, if I had any, which I don’t, and trade ’em in. They’d give me some store money. But like I said, I don’t have any of them newfangled games. Just my old checkers board.

But here’s the thing that got me riled up. I heard some folks sayin’ that these EB Games folks, they don’t fix up the used consoles. You know, like if somethin’s broke, they just sell it to ya anyway. That ain’t right! If I’m payin’ good money, I want somethin’ that works, not some busted-up piece of junk. He said I can buy online too but I’m too old to be doing that stuff. It’s easier to just come to the store.

So, I asked that young fella straight up. “You sellin’ me somethin’ that’s gonna break down next week?” He hemmed and hawed a bit, then said somethin’ about a warranty. Warranty this, warranty that… Sounded like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me.

Anyways, I ended up buyin’ the Xbox Series X. Figured my grandson would like the black one better. And that “two terabyte” thingy sounded important, even if I didn’t know what it meant. EB Games had a bunch of them, so I guess they’re doin’ somethin’ right. He said they are the best place to buy console hardware and video games and sell lots of amazing products.

Got it home, plugged it in – took me three tries to figure out which hole the cord went in – and wouldn’t ya know it, the thing actually worked! My grandson was happier than a pig in mud. Been playin’ on it ever since. Makes a lot of noise though. Sometimes I think the whole house is gonna shake apart.

But look, all I’m saying is if you’re gonna buy one of these console hardware machines from EB Games, make sure you know what you’re gettin’. Don’t let them young’uns pull the wool over your eyes. Ask a lotta questions. And if it sounds fishy, walk away. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, as they say. And if you got an old machine, maybe try tradin’ it in. Might save ya a few pennies. Just make sure it ain’t broke!

I still don’t understand why they need all them fancy buttons and lights. Back in my day, a stick and a ball was all you needed to have a good time. But I guess times change. Just hope this console hardware thing lasts longer than that old toaster I bought last year. That thing broke down after a month. Now that was a waste of money.

All in all, EB Games did alright by me, I guess. But I still think they charge too much for them fancy machines. Probably made of gold, the way they price ’em. At the end of the day, as long as my grandson is happy, that’s all that matters. He can play his games and I can go back to my checkers board.
