Apparently the Big W website gets a little confused when it comes to “Kinect”, and “insect”. Ensuing search results contain hilarity.
Thanks Rob!

Maybe “amusing” would have been a better choice.

Can I write for Kotaku now? ;)

Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 12:02 PMLooking at the site when doing the search the top line is
“Your search for “insect” found 5 products Your search for “Kinect” returned no results”
Notice the final section of this one liner…
So like most search engins (google included) when a result comes back with 0 it will try and find the next best option. And as Big W does not pre release their products on the site untill they are avaialble in store its kinda normal…
But hey… I guess its a slow news day… Kotaku should be posting CatchOfTheDay’s coming soon offers for a $199 PS3 console.. But thats just my opinion… http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_id=6901
