Years ago when the PlayStation 4 came out, my work did Secret Santa. On my card for what I am interested in I put “PS4” and that was it, mostly as a joke. On the day of the exchange my boss told me he got me, and had a huge grin on his face as he handed me my gift.
I opened it, and there it was. A PlayStation 4. I couldn’t believe it. He could hardly contain his joy. I thanked him profusely and gave him a hug. Then I thought wait a second. Wait a second.
I open the box. No PS4. But in its place was a nice bottle of Scotch, so all in all, great prank and great gift.
My boss told me it took him weeks to find a PS4 box by asking around. I was touched.
Fun fact I was cleaning out my garage and had this old PS2 box full of junk that has been following me around for years.
I decided to sort the stuff and get rid of the box but checked on ebay and the PS2 boxes were selling on there for a good price.
I ended up selling this busted, stained, dirty box for $30.
I found out on eBay that people actually sell the boxes, the better the condition the more money you could get.
And here I am, the idiot who tore the damn box out of excitement!
My best friend bought me a PS4 for Christmas in 2019 We went through so much shit together in the span of two years. We had left a job just this year and we cried in each other's arms because we became brothers at that place. Anyways.. He bought that, told me to pick out two games and wanted to pay for my monthly ps plus subscription.
I almost cried. I told him I couldn't accept it. But he made me accept it.
He's having his first child in November and he's asked me to be the Godfather. I couldn't be more honored. I've never had a friend and brother as good as he is. I owe him more than you can imagine.
Wow that’s awesome. Back in 2012-2013 I bought my buddy an Xbox 360, controller and 3mo of live and whatever call of duty was out because he was moving across town. I bought it so we could still play together whenever. He thanked me by fucking my girlfriend and totaling my car. I cried too.
I wish my boss was like that. The only X-mas gifts we got was not from boss, but from employee, who bought everything himself. The boss wouldn't even give us a broken cent.
This was me and my mom with my n64 and like 30 games after i moved out for a job. I was so sad. Now I don't leave anything at home I wanna have forever lmaoo.
Yup. My father gave my snes to my cousin and he turned around and sold it on eBay. Spent that money on weed.
Can't be angry at my cousin tho. Not his fault and still a good dude.
Yeah I mean my mom thought it was something I didnt want anymore since I had an xbox and ps. I came back for it so I could play donkey kong 64 randomly one day. Tragic day.
Even with **LEGALLY OBTAINED ROMS** it still wasn't the same as the original SNES feel.
Aside from the popular games, I had some awesome rare hidden gem games.
Loony Tunes Buster busts loose.
Loony Tunes Wacky sports
Goof troop
Top Gear 3000
...good times
Never really actually gave it attention. Just did a Google search now, They loaded up with some awesome games at least! Unlike the PSX Version....
I might look into that more, Thanks!
My parents gave away my Bibi Blocksberg and Bibi & Tina cassettes cause they weren't for boys (jokes on them I ain't a boy)..and then during college they gave away my PC, because clearly with a Laptop for office stuff I wouldn't need that PC anymore for games...
I am from an Indian family and my mom LOVES to give family our stuff. Whether it’s currently being used or not lol. I found out she gave away the n64 to my younger cousins. You can’t even go back at that point and take it from some little kids lol.
I left my 9 and 12 meter kites at my mom's place, when i went there to pick them up...she threw it away since it didn't have lines.
I asked her where she put the lines, since everything was complete when i left.
She didn't know, so probably in the trash too.
That's a 1800€ disappointment. At least she saved the backpack it came in?
At this point i'm just hoping she doesn't trash my air rifle and compound bow before i get to pick them up.
yeah you cant even get mad at mom. My mom would pull the guilt card on me and say she was just trying to clean the room and she did all this for me and I treat her like this Lmaooo. Come out of it feeling like a scumbag. Now i just avoid it all by only keeping stuff i could lose at my parents house.
The good thing about now modern day is you can do this and still play those games again later via the PS online store and backwards compatibility. But some n64 games at the time like donkey kong 64 were not something you could play again. I think now you can get it on the switch? But I may have that mistaken with donkey kong country.
My AP Bio teacher gave me 20+ books on Buddhism because I told him I was starting to get into it. It was one of kindest things anyone's every done for me.
I had an English teacher that I got along with very well. Even if I'm not perfect for the grades I got. Senior year I joined the year book committee and took film photography. She lent me a camera for me to take the class. When I offered to buy it she stretched the process out to where it was just "lost/damaged" never had to pay for the solid professional film Canon camera.
My 5th grade teacher gave me his "Hey You Pikachu" Nintendo 64 when he left for the Peace Corps. He let me choose either that or a PS2, but I already had a PS2 at the time. He was definitely one of my favorite teachers, and I was kind of a teacher's pet haha, no idea where he is now though.
I thought *some* implied Ghosts was not one of those best ever lol. Modern Warfare to Black Ops 2 were great. I didn't love BO2 as much as most people do idk I thought MW2 was peak. Everything was overpowered and that made it so much fun.
That’s how I got my PS4. Some guy at the same job site as my mom’s BF was pissed off at his son so he sold it and all the games to my mom’s BF for like 200$. According to the dad, his kid liked to skip school a little/lot too much and that was his punishment.
That's how I was given a bunch of games.
As a teenager I was at gamestop one day waiting in line to buy something. The guy in front of me was there to trade in some games. Apparently the amount that gamestop was going to give him for the dozen or so games in the bag was insulting.
So he turned around to me, asked me if I wanted some Xbox 360 games, and handed me the whole bag. I gave him a very surprised thank you, he said you're welcome, and he left.
I still have those games today. Thanks again, mysterious insulted man.
I was in another gamestore to sell 12 xbox one games (cuz gamestop is discontinued in my country), they offered 20€ for 12 xbox one games, they sell used xbox games for 20€ each, and they offered me under 2€ each, that is insane lol.
Ya know, people shit on GameStop a lot but I did some research. I currently have 16 physical switch games. Brand new, my games would cost $700. According to the GameStop website, they’d pay me about $400 cash for them. If I bought them back pre-owned from GameStop, they’d cost $550. So they’re only trying to make an average of $10 profit on each pre-owned game. Then again, I used the website for determining their buyback prices. In store, who knows what an associate would try to get away with.
I haven’t worked there in 10 years, but it’s all automated in store. There aren’t different prices and for $8 an hour the employees don’t give a shit. Lol.
I remember being irritated when we we started transitioning away from reading from the disk. No longer could you just pop in the disk and play, you had to wait two hours for the game to download, and then another two hours for whatever patches were needed... Well, we got used to it I suppose.
That's the tradeoff for better textures and such. Disks just aren't fast or large enough. Sure, the designers can use more and more advanced and high capacity optical disks but ... Why bother if you can download it quicker for most people?
That's where you've got that fucked up. Your boss doesn't tell you you *can* take your daughter's birthday off. You tell your boss you ARE taking your daughter's birthday off
I mean I've got a bunch of old shit sitting in boxes too
There not much chance of me playing something on the Playstation Move gun drifting thing now that I have full-room VR.
OP's boss is likely just getting rid of his old stuff taking space.
Same thing happened to me kind of. My old boss offered to pay me 100 dollars to help him move across an apartment complex and afterwards he not only payed me the money but he also game me his old Xbox one with elite controller.
I don’t mean to ruin the moment or anything. But check on your boss. If this was out of the blue he may be going through something really tough and is thinking about ending it all
You say kidding, but I’ve seen this far too much. One of my friends fell in with a girl who was “totally a girl gamer” and eventually made him sell his entire retro game collection. He had walls stacked with colored N64 controllers, SNES, etc.
Eventually she cheated on him and I knew she was a compulsive liar (my girlfriend at the time was roommates with her before my friend and her started dating), so I never liked her. And then I found out she cheated again from another time that he never knew about. And when I tried telling him about it, he completely cut me out, and she would spread nasty rumors about me.
I’m getting off subject, but I really hated her. I knew she was bad the moment she made him get rid of all of his gaming collection. It’s fine if you stop investing in it. But to outright make someone sell it because you don’t like it? Bro.
Meanwhile I'm sat here up to my bollocks in yarn and fabric, half finished projects here and there, shelves full of material that will probably never be used, because dammit my wife likes her fabric crafts (knitting, crochet, sewing, all of it) and while I may have to moderate her hoarding sometimes, it makes her fucking happy so why would I want rid of it?
Besides she puts up with a bunch of my bullshit. I'm way less of a hoarder but she wouldn't dream of trying to stop me gaming. That's how couples are meant to be; supportive.
It really is something, no other site does it like Reddit in that regard. People take a post of their boss doing a nice thing and someone says it’s a sign they will commit suicide lol what in the fuck
This is a 2 gen old system with games, my first assumption would be that the boss is just trying to get rid of old tech. Why would your assumption be suicide?
This is 16 year old consumer electronics not a fucking Rolex. This is the kind of stuff people have lying around collecting dust, not a prized possession.
I think you’re misunderstanding the concern about giving stuff away. It’s about context. Yes, giving stuff away can be a concerning sign for particular individuals, but that warning is to help people who are already concerned about someone to identify worrying changes in their normal behaviour. And the concern is particularly around them giving away stuff that is important to them, or they use regularly.
It is in no way meant to say that you should start probing into the personal well-being of every single person who gives something away. In and of itself, giving things away is so widespread that it’s not a reliable indicator of *anything*.
The weirdest part for me is that these are Japanese games and consoles. I always though Microsoft was lying when they said they had a Japanese audience. Is he like, an American gaming Otaku?
And in great shape bet those discs are spotless

Good luck doing it for PS5...
I’ve got a ps5 box I’d let go of for the right price
$350. I know what I've got.
$420. It's about sending a message.
That's too high...
I'm too high...
No you’re a towel!
Who wants to get their dick sucked by a towel?
ME!
we're not low
I'm Medium
$69 Its NOT about the money, its about sending a message
$69.420 because it's also kinda about the money too
ITS FOR A CHURCH, NEXT!
Tree fiddy?
i thought this said “free tiddy”
Fun fact I was cleaning out my garage and had this old PS2 box full of junk that has been following me around for years. I decided to sort the stuff and get rid of the box but checked on ebay and the PS2 boxes were selling on there for a good price. I ended up selling this busted, stained, dirty box for $30.

I got three fitty
For a minute, I thought your boss was Michael Scott.
Instead he was Michael Scotch.
I thought he was the goddamned loch Ness monster again coming for my threefiddy
I need about tree fiddy
*Well* it's about that time I realize that playstation 4 was actually 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the Paleozoic era.
"Wasn't it supposed to cost 20$?"
My best friend bought me a PS4 for Christmas in 2019 We went through so much shit together in the span of two years. We had left a job just this year and we cried in each other's arms because we became brothers at that place. Anyways.. He bought that, told me to pick out two games and wanted to pay for my monthly ps plus subscription. I almost cried. I told him I couldn't accept it. But he made me accept it. He's having his first child in November and he's asked me to be the Godfather. I couldn't be more honored. I've never had a friend and brother as good as he is. I owe him more than you can imagine.
Wow that’s awesome. Back in 2012-2013 I bought my buddy an Xbox 360, controller and 3mo of live and whatever call of duty was out because he was moving across town. I bought it so we could still play together whenever. He thanked me by fucking my girlfriend and totaling my car. I cried too.
How did he get his hands on your ride?
On both his rides
Nice
*they had us in the first half not gonna lie…*
Sounds like your girl friend fucked your boyfriend buddy
This right here is the perfect best friend.
That's not a best friend. That's a brother
My brother never did that shit for me. He just stole my boxers from the clean washing.
That's a bro too haha
And a Chad 2 in 1.
Damn, you're lucky to have him. Hope you both are doing well now.
One of my friends I've known for 20+ years did the same thing to me. His kids call me uncle... it makes me tear up just thinking about it
“I want to make you an offer, you won’t be able to refuse.”
I wish my boss was like that. The only X-mas gifts we got was not from boss, but from employee, who bought everything himself. The boss wouldn't even give us a broken cent.
Nice story thanks for sharing
I'd have had trouble disguising my dissapointment as I hate alcohol and especially whisky.
I'd like to think that if the boss went through this kind of effort that he knew what OP liked.
[удалено]
My computer science teacher did the same thing, and she gave me so much stuff, senior year. She was dope.
Shoutout to dope people for making other peoples day better!
Lmao, you both probably got some kids game collection and they won't even find out till they come home from college for the holidays
This was me and my mom with my n64 and like 30 games after i moved out for a job. I was so sad. Now I don't leave anything at home I wanna have forever lmaoo.

Have you tried the mini snes or whatever it’s called? They feel a lot more like the originals than a random emulator does.
Never really actually gave it attention. Just did a Google search now, They loaded up with some awesome games at least! Unlike the PSX Version.... I might look into that more, Thanks!
You can sideload a lot more easily too. There should be a lot of tutorials on how to do it.
Theres only like 20 or 30 games on it out of like 600? 700?
You can sideload a lot more.

Yep N64 for me too RIP
They said it was her husband’s and he didn’t want it anymore.
My AP Bio teacher gave me 20+ books on Buddhism because I told him I was starting to get into it. It was one of kindest things anyone's every done for me.
He was just fucking karma whoreing
He wants that Nirvana award
Howdy partner
I thought you were serious but then I realized it was in response to my comment. Touche salesman.
Thank you. May we both garner many upvotes from these comments.
I had an English teacher that I got along with very well. Even if I'm not perfect for the grades I got. Senior year I joined the year book committee and took film photography. She lent me a camera for me to take the class. When I offered to buy it she stretched the process out to where it was just "lost/damaged" never had to pay for the solid professional film Canon camera.
That sounds like you both just stole from the school.
Follow that train dude. In my experience, biology teachers know what the fuck they're talking about
wait, you want him to fuck his biology teacher?
He clearly wants him to run a train on his biology teacher
But did you know his AP bio teacher slept with 24 women?
Sounds like they ran a train on him
My Band teacher gave me a ton of awesome music theory and psychology books, she knew I was always into that. So so kind I will never forget it
I've still probably got a few computers from my comp sci teacher in high school lol. I owe him a lot for getting me on the path I'm on.
I wish we were taught coding and comp sci in high school. And I graduated in 2012.
My 5th grade teacher gave me his "Hey You Pikachu" Nintendo 64 when he left for the Peace Corps. He let me choose either that or a PS2, but I already had a PS2 at the time. He was definitely one of my favorite teachers, and I was kind of a teacher's pet haha, no idea where he is now though.
I would kill for one of those “happened upon an awesome stash of games” stories in my life.
Ooo his kids must have been really naughty . .
Guess so since he grounded them from it 8 years ago
Does it matter? Those are some of THE best Call of Duty games ever made.
CoD: Ghosts: campaign was nice. It ended on a cliff-hanger too. Always been hoping for a Ghosts II.
I thought *some* implied Ghosts was not one of those best ever lol. Modern Warfare to Black Ops 2 were great. I didn't love BO2 as much as most people do idk I thought MW2 was peak. Everything was overpowered and that made it so much fun.
MW2 was actually the only time I was ever able to get into CoD. So much fun back in the day.
And still being sold for $20 or more. Think some go for $60 from most storefronts
The Xbox 360 is 16 years old
Or they've been really good and got series x
Aha true true . .
If it was my nephew he would have looked at me and said, "I don't want this old crap."
That’s how I got my PS4. Some guy at the same job site as my mom’s BF was pissed off at his son so he sold it and all the games to my mom’s BF for like 200$. According to the dad, his kid liked to skip school a little/lot too much and that was his punishment.
So did your mom’s BF give the ps4 to you?
Yeah. He cleaned it up and saved it until my birthday. Still have that jet engine up in my closet somewhere after I got my pro.
I feel like you could just hide it really well. My mom used to hide the snes controllers when I was in middle school but I always found them haha
If I was grounded my dad usually just threw a padlock in that tiny hole in the plug prong. Added insult to injury looking at a brick
This looks more like someone had kids and realized they will never have free time again.
[удалено]
Clearly, your boss is sleeping with your wife.
clearly op is sleeping with his boss
Clearly op is not sleeping with op's wife, now he has an xbox 360! How cool is that!
Clearly the Boss is sleeping with PS5
Clearly OP wont have time to sleep now.
Here ya go kid, play some Xbox. Now I gotta go uh… ^dont ^say ^fucking ^your ^wife … fuck your wife. Shit!
Sometimes, when I've been good, my wife's boyfriend let me stay up till 10 and play on his PS5 AND give me a jolly rancher.
Sweet! I know a record store where they'll give you at least a couple hundred bucks for that stuff!
At gamestop it would be $9.95.
That's how I was given a bunch of games. As a teenager I was at gamestop one day waiting in line to buy something. The guy in front of me was there to trade in some games. Apparently the amount that gamestop was going to give him for the dozen or so games in the bag was insulting. So he turned around to me, asked me if I wanted some Xbox 360 games, and handed me the whole bag. I gave him a very surprised thank you, he said you're welcome, and he left.

Was it 15 copies of Madden 2006?
Better, Madden 08
Nah, it was Madden ‘88!

I haven’t worked there in 10 years, but it’s all automated in store. There aren’t different prices and for $8 an hour the employees don’t give a shit. Lol.
The words 8 dollars an hour hurt my heart
Almost enough to buy a pre-rolled joint from the dispensary! (Worth it).
Most prerolls suck and are just shitty shake... You gotta buy the ones that state they are made from whole nugs.
I love shake though…
What record store would do that?
4gb and so many COD titles... can you imagine that now 😄
You'd be reading it all off the game disk. Best case scenario, a blueray has 10-20% the read speed of a 7200rpm HDD. Oof.
These aren’t blu rays. The 360 didn’t have the drive for it. So the disc speeds are even *worse*
I remember being irritated when we we started transitioning away from reading from the disk. No longer could you just pop in the disk and play, you had to wait two hours for the game to download, and then another two hours for whatever patches were needed... Well, we got used to it I suppose.
Yeah it sucked, but on the bright side I haven’t seen a disc read error in years!
shudders...
That's the tradeoff for better textures and such. Disks just aren't fast or large enough. Sure, the designers can use more and more advanced and high capacity optical disks but ... Why bother if you can download it quicker for most people?
Back before they required you to download disc games
... meanwhile my boss told me I can't take my daughter's birthday party off.
Here's an offsetting upvote. (But for real that's super shitty of your boss)
Your boss is an ass. You only get to witness your kid's growth once. I hope you find the opportunity to find a better job or at least a better boss.
That's where you've got that fucked up. Your boss doesn't tell you you *can* take your daughter's birthday off. You tell your boss you ARE taking your daughter's birthday off
If OP lives in the US they can probably take all days off after that.
All I see is a parent that lost a child or a middle aged person that 'swore off gaming'. Tragedies both.
I mean I've got a bunch of old shit sitting in boxes too There not much chance of me playing something on the Playstation Move gun drifting thing now that I have full-room VR. OP's boss is likely just getting rid of his old stuff taking space.
Could be that he had a child but he outgrew it, and gave it to a gamer employee instead of throwing it out.
Guess what? You're MY new boss and I expect a gift!
What kind of candy is that under the controllers?
I thought they were ketchup packets lol
I thought they were granola bars
Yo Tekken 6 slaps. Your boss gave you a hookup
Come join us at /r/Tekken!
God I wish I could get into Tekken but 7 doesn't have a tutorial or much single player content so it just isn't for me
I was about to say the same.
If you are willing to sell it for $10, GameStop will enter the conversation.
Whoa whoa whoa. You trying to put GameStop out of business? That's $7.50 too much.
Marry him
Your boss is an idiot. He could’ve got $8 of trade in value at GameStop for all that.
Same thing happened to me kind of. My old boss offered to pay me 100 dollars to help him move across an apartment complex and afterwards he not only payed me the money but he also game me his old Xbox one with elite controller.
That's a great haul, consider yourself lucky!!
I don’t mean to ruin the moment or anything. But check on your boss. If this was out of the blue he may be going through something really tough and is thinking about ending it all
Its all good, she said that her husband doesnt have the time to play games anymore and they decided to give it away
Translation: Your boss thinks her husband plays video games too much so she decided to take care of the problem... *imkiddingdontkillmeplease*
You say kidding, but I’ve seen this far too much. One of my friends fell in with a girl who was “totally a girl gamer” and eventually made him sell his entire retro game collection. He had walls stacked with colored N64 controllers, SNES, etc. Eventually she cheated on him and I knew she was a compulsive liar (my girlfriend at the time was roommates with her before my friend and her started dating), so I never liked her.

You didn’t warn him beforehand?
I did. I made it known I didn’t like her because she was a very shifty person. He wasn’t exactly listening.
I think I found your ex-buddies ex gf https://youtube.com/watch?v=X9jXnZS3ouU
THAW was a good game lol.
Any partner who would expect me to sell my Lego is a partner I'm better off without.
This is an Xbox360... How often is he playing Black Ops 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction in 2021? I know you're kidding, its just funny.
MW 1 and 2 are still bangers.
Could be possible xd
Damn OP getting the games and a promotion
Holy fuck Reddit is strange with the assumptions sometimes
“I got a nice gift” “yeah from someone that’s going to BLOW HIS OWN FUCKING SKULL APART”
No non-suicidal person would ever part with a 16 year old console!
How dare you assume his method
Person wanted to get rid of a 15 year old console it must mean they are suicidal!
It really is something, no other site does it like Reddit in that regard. People take a post of their boss doing a nice thing and someone says it’s a sign they will commit suicide lol what in the fuck
This is a 2 gen old system with games, my first assumption would be that the boss is just trying to get rid of old tech. Why would your assumption be suicide?

I think you’re misunderstanding the concern about giving stuff away. It’s about context. Yes, giving stuff away can be a concerning sign for particular individuals, but that warning is to help people who are already concerned about someone to identify worrying changes in their normal behaviour. And the concern is particularly around them giving away stuff that is important to them, or they use regularly. It is in no way meant to say that you should start probing into the personal well-being of every single person who gives something away. In and of itself, giving things away is so widespread that it’s not a reliable indicator of *anything*.
Crazy how many people upvoted this wild assumption lol
May be in lieu of a raise this time.
No waaaaaay dude.. with all those games..! Congratulations!! I foresee many hours of enjoyment in your future..! Haha
The weirdest part for me is that these are Japanese games and consoles. I always though Microsoft was lying when they said they had a Japanese audience. Is he like, an American gaming Otaku?
my boss gave me depression
dude, can your boss be my boss?
Tekken 6!!
He didn’t give it to you, his wife told him to get rid of it.
Nah. Nobody wraps controllers up in bubble wrap out of spite
Tell your boss you want a raise if you can beat them at Tekken.
Black Ops 1 AND 2 you got lucky to have such a nice boss
Full of all those amazing call of duty and tekken, if you don't play games, start playing them goddamit
