Witness the recent email exchange, note that this is within a medium size technology company, the participants are cashed up gadget users in a modern western civilisation, well, Melbourne Australia at least.
Folks,
I have a brand new 40GB PSP3 for sale... It has never even been unpacked, so I don't even know what it looks like.. It came with a new LCD TV I just bought and I have no use for it.
If you’re interested put a bid in. Best bid at or over the reserve and its yours.
The obvious quick reply came back to the hopeful PS3 offloader.
Hi there
Are you sure its a PSP3 ( Play station Portable )? as I have never heard of a 40GB one that's all and I would be interested in if that’s the case, or is it a PS3?
Two things from this two emails: One, the TV buyer was not influenced by the ‘thrown in’ PS3 as part of the package, and is oblivious to anything related to the brand. He later responds to the query saying ‘Goes to show how much of a gamer I am :)’
Two, the respondent, who picked up his misnaming of Sony’s flagship device, though interested in PSP’s (the PlayStation Portable) is looking for a 40GB model, good luck, I would love one of those myself.
There is of course another obvious query to make of the prospective PS3 seller.
