It's certainly not the first time we've seen someone open the box to a pricey gadget only to find their hopes and dreams dashed by some unscrupulous individual that's swiped the device and replaced it by something similarly weighted but decidedly cheaper, but it just wouldn't be the holidays if we didn't bring you another account of the same wrong-doings happening again. This latest one comes to us from Thousand Oaks, California where one kid opened the box to the PlayStation 3 he got for Christmas and found a phone book in its place of his desired console. What's more, the PS3 wasn't bought on eBay or out of someone's trunk as you might expect, but at the local EB Games, where the kid's parents are apparently now doing their best to get things sorted out.

The parents should of open the box before leaving the store to make sure if everything was in there.

Again? Some sad losers are always doing this, every single Crimbo. Still, serves him right for not getting a Wii instead.

If Sony and other company uses Plastic boxs which are made of see through glass or plastic. This problem will be less common unless people can make a fake looking ps3 or put a broken one inside and stick it in the seethrough box.

I could quite easily make a fake PS3 out of a cereal box, but these people are probably dumber than me if they're sad enough to do that.

Certainly more valuable than a ps3, a real bargin that
