    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.

    $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.
