Consoles taken at gunpoint just hours ago; thief apprehended, consoles recovered. A Stafford, Virginia, Electronics Boutique store was the scene of an armed robbery this morning. According to sources, the perpetrator made off with two Xbox 360 systems, forcing the store manager to hand them over at gunpoint. Sources tell GameSpot the local police responded quickly, cordoned off the store, and immediately pursued the thief. The thief was apprehended shortly afterward. Because the police consider the heist an ongoing criminal investigation, store employees were reluctant to discuss details of the robbery. But as of press time, the store is open, and all systems are back to normal. "We're all fine, and everything is cool," a store staffer told GameSpot.
Games don't kill people, Microsoft kills people. I heard some Xbox 360s are already going $1800 on ebay. You could get a top gaming computer for that.
there is almost no diff between game console and computers these days, i built my rig for 1400, and ive heard these things goin for more than 2500, like holy crap i could be running 2 7800gtx 512s with the money i saved!
Yep sombody confirmed in another post sombodybought one on ebay for 10k. tickle me elmo is another good example of this, Remember beanie babies.. also there was a line from my hotel to the book store 3 miles away in cars when the new harry potter book came out a few months ago... people and there obsesions... just disturbing somtimes.
when I read the title, I was thinking 360 modena... who would be stupid enough to hold up a store at gunpoint for a console???
$15000! You could probably buy three absolute top of the line, blow any Xbox away gaming PCs for that!!!!! I won't be buying another console. They're a waste of money IMO. I have yet to see a console that I can use to game, play music and movies, write a essay, surf the net, balance my cheque book, ect. Consoles are way behind anyway. Sure they're fast but they're just getting into 256-bit graphics. PCs have had that for several years now.
Makes me wish I had drinken more mountain dew to enter that win a xbox 360 contest where they gave one away every 10 minutes for like 2 months or somthing... good little investment that could have been.... Yellow 5 bad for you? bah humbug *falls over dead*
