I Just Called to Say "No PS3 For You"

ps3_phonebook.jpgNote to EB Games: If you're planning to put more phonebooks inside PlayStation 3 boxes and, you know, ask me to fork over five-hundred bucks for one, can you also throw in an obviously opened and re-sealed Halo 3 game case except with a copy of Hannah Montana's "Livin' the Rock Star Life" tucked away inside?

I'm sure Brandon Burns wants a bonus gift too. You remember him? The 13 year old who was so ba--I mean good! this year that when he opened his Christmas gift -- a PlayStation 3, um, box -- he pulled out a phonebook. A phonebook! Which if you remember the Indiana Jones bag-of-sand trick is pretty ingenious, really, except for the part where the box eventually gets opened by someone, which would be like the part in the movie where Indy gets the weight wrong. I'm sure Burns's parents were, however fleetingly, wishing for a giant boulder aimed at their local games store, and a trigger button like Dr. Evil has.
