Man robs EB store at gunpoint and trouble at Wal–Mart
Some gamers have gone to even greater extremes to get their hands on the Xbox 360 - like the man who robbed an Electronics Boutique store in Stafford, Virginia in the early hours yesterday. According to US website GameSpot, he held the store manager up at gunpoint and ordered him to hand over two Xbox 360s. Presumably ones with hard drives.
Luckily no one was hurt in the incident, and police managed to apprehend the man shortly after he left the store.
Police were also called to the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania branch of Wal-Mart after shoppers waiting to pick up their consoles got rowdy. According to the Pennsylvania Times Leader, shoppers began queueing outside the store at 4pm. At around 11pm, said one eyewitness, people began "pushing and shoving" each other and police arrived on the scene.
They proceeded to hand out 48 vouchers which entitled the holders to return to the store at midnight and purchase their console, presumably on condition that they promised to behave themselves in the meantime.
Police sergeant Tom Elick told the Times Leader that there were no arrests, and that all those involved left the shop once the tickets had been handed out.
However, "We're going to have officers patrol the store throughout the night," he said.
All I can say is...WTF!? some people will do anything :rolleyes:
When I saw this picture I almost cried...I would have taken that off his hands instead of him smashing the sh*t out of it, I would have even given him the money I have saved.
He should have sold it on E-bay, I saw one up there yesterday going for over 4 thousand dollars...that's crazy.
