2006, the year the PS3 came out. I asked for one and they were sold out everywhere. We were out shopping and I finally got my hands on a 20GB one, and my mom refused to buy it. She said she knew I had asked for the 60GB model and thought we'd find one eventually. I was devastated because I knew there was no way we'd find one anywhere before Christmas.
I woke up Christmas morning at like 2AM and opened the box over the tree, and it was a 60GB model. My parents had a friend the next state over who was able to find one, and they had already hidden it in the attic by the time I had found that 20GB one, so my mom had to make up excuses not to buy another one.
I plugged it in so it could start updating, then put it back in the box so I could "open" it in front of the family once everyone else was awake.
