So my dad is going to be getting the new HD TV for his room because the old TV is going to pot. Before that he pestered me about buying one for the basement.
Eventaully I might, but what I want now is Photoshop that works with Windows Vista, and an Xbox 360.
I'm wondering if anybody knows whether Game Stop or any place selling used systems would tell you who last had it, and if it's really in good shape?
About Photoshop, what's the earliest version of CS (I know it has to be CS now) I can buy since it could be somewhat cheaper?

I think that's a judgment call. I'm not sure that those places really know the history of a product other than what they're told by who traded it in.
They're like cars. You can have a 2002 Chevy Impala witn 72,000 miles on it. You can say it's all highway miles that an elderly couple lived 40 miles from their store just happened to put miles on it but it's not hard miles.
There's a chance that's true but there's also a chance their 17 year old grandson drove it to school almost everyday and didn't put the bulk of the miles on it but abused it hard a few days a week. And it's hard to know.
That's where the Game Stop workers have to try to judge the condition of things and try to present it as well as possible without really haveing all the details.

Reminds me of when George Costanza bought Jon Voight's car.
Remember that one? ;D

I'm a bit confused too. I assume the car was a misrepresentation but I was not aware of the storyline on that.

All I know is George C. is from Seinfeld and Jon Voight is Branglina's Papa.  |

George was looking to buy a car and came across a car that 'Was owned by John Voight".
He bought it and was bragging around to everyone but, noone believed him...
Then, he found a pencil that that had teeth marks in it in the glove box and he tried to match them up using dental records...
Off course, other people kept chewing on the pencil and...after several hilarious events, it turns out that the car belonged to JON VOYT......
...not the actor....

That's hilarious. That's like Classic and me love the Major League Movies. In the second one the Owner tells the Manager that he signed an outfielder from the Giants. Excitedly he says "Franklin?"
"Not those Giants..." IT turned out the Tokyo Giants and he was a Japanese Player who was not from Japan's highest league.

Mahnarch that reminds me of Different Strokes.
There was an episode when Arnold tries out for the school football team. Mr. Drummond was really thrilled he says 'I remember catching a winning touchdown, wide open and Johnny U puts it right in my hands.'
Arnold says 'Dad, you played football with Johnny Unituas?'
Drummond says 'oh no, Johnny Yew, spelled Y E W a Japanese exchange student.'
After a squabble with the coach Drummond becomes the football coach and to relieve doubt Arnold says 'My dad played high school football with Johnny U'
Drummond says 'as a matter of fact I did.'
Oh, aido179 that looks like a hovercraft for your keyboard. It's about $150 not bad for all it can do.
