DOH! I saw this on the morning news, and I was hoping to post it when I got back, but it looks like Kotaku beat me to it by a few hours. Anyways, a teenage boy got a surprise Christmas morning when he opened up his present. It was supposed to be a brand new Play Station 3 ($499.99), and two games. As it turned out, the console was replaced with a local phone book. The thirteen-year old isn’t really broken up about it, in fact when he saw what happened he said that he was “more laughing than disappointed”. His parents however, aren’t quite as chipper, seeing as their local EB Games had sold them a five hundred dollar phone book. The highlight of the reel had to be at the end when they showed his two younger sisters enjoying their present, a karaoke machine. When the story hit the news Christmas evening, the mother was planning on going back to the store on the 26th. Fox news caught up on them, and a spokesperson for the store involved had said that issue has been resolved. See the source below for the full video.
