HEY! LISTEN!
Even if that game wasn't involved, same company. 
Tiny backstory: I work in the gaming department of an electronics store. End tiny backstory.
So I come it to replace J for his supper hour. Let me set the stage:
SC: Lil squat older "lady" -- and I use the term loosely-- that the weekend before gave a beating to each of my wii games because she didn't like the price. Check the price, slam the game down. Check the price, slam the game down. You get the idea.
J: Guy in charge of the gaming department, but not my boss.
Me: Lil squat younger lady unless I'm not working. Then I turn into Lil squat angry b*tch. To be expanded upon in a future story.
I lean against the side counter waiting for my turn while J explains to this lady the difference between the pricings
J: No ma'am, these are 160$ because they're DSis.
SC: But what's the difference between this one and this one?
J: The color.
SC: But what's the difference? Is this one cheaper?
J: No, this one is blue. It's the same price. They're all the same.
SC: But why is that one 190$? It's the same!
J: No ma'am, That's a DSi XL. *puts boxes side by side* See? XL is much bigger.
SC: Open it, I wanna see it.
J: I can't open it, you'd have to buy it to open it at home.
SC: I don't wanna buy it, I wanna see it!
J: You can see it on the box.
SC: I don't wanna put it in reservation, I wanna see it! Open it!
J: *confused look* I didn't ask if you wanted to put it aside, I said I couldn't open it!
SC: Then how will I know if it works?!
J: *deadpan* It will work ma'am.
SC: *shrugs* So you tell me it's 190$ *points to DSi*
J: No ma'am. That one's 160$
SC: But it's the saaaaaame!
J: No. That's a DSi. THAT *points to DSi XL* works the same, but IT'S BIGGER.
SC: AAAAH! Write the prices down for me!!
J: Ma'am. 160$ and 190$. It's only 2 prices.
SC: WRITE IT DOWN IT'S CONFUSING!
He does so, she leaves, I take my place and he takes a well-earned break.
AAAAAAAND she comes back 3 minutes later.
SC: *points at 160$ DSi* So that one's 190$ right?
Me: No ma'am, like it's written on your note, it's 160$.
SC: It comes with games in it?
Me: These ones no, but the white one comes with Brain Age.
SC: Brain age?
Me: Brain Age. 2 of them and a Photo Clock.
SC: What's Brain Age supposed to mean?
Me: Brain Age ma'am. Age of your brain. It's games to work your brain.
SC: *scoffs* Huh! I don't need that! I'll never understand that!
Me: No shit, really? It's the only pre-intalled games in it, ma'am.
SC: So you're telling me Mario Bros comes already downloaded in it?
Me: No ma'am, Brain Age.
SC: So, does it have games inside like Mario Bros, uhm...
Me: No, Brain Age.
SC: Mario Bros?
Me: Brain Age.
SC: So you're saying it comes with Mario Bros?
Me: Brain Age.
SC: AAH!! NEVERMIND, IT'S TOO COMPLICATED! *leaves in a huff*
This is why I don't post often. I'm usually in a head-to-desk contact coma.
