> A Camarillo, Calif. teen dreamed of getting a popular game for Christmas, and he got it, almost. 13-year-old Brandon Burns tore the gift wrapped box to find that his parents got him a PlayStation 3. But when he opened the sealed box what he found was a yellow telephone book.

> He says was amused by the whole thing.

> His parents weren’t amused. They spent $500 for the PS3 and say they plan on taking the phone book, the box, and their receipt back to the Thousand Oaks mall store where they bought it

Either some dumbass employee at the store or somewhere within the shipping chain switched the ps3 out for the pages,  
or this family is just trying to scam the store and get some publicity in the process. These days it’s a 50/50.
