PS3 Store Gets Robbed at Gunpoint

Are some people that desperate to get a PS3 that they would use firearms to get one? Apparently…yes.

Just a few hours before
the official midnight U.S. release, two men carrying pistols went into a store and then walked out with 4 PS3s.

These two men who entered the GameStop store, not only were they armed but they were also wearing some sort of hoods meant to mask their faces. They went it, demanded the consoles and got them. If only it were that easy (joking). In fact, what surprises me is that they went by unnoticed, wasn't there a line? Where were the PS3 campers? Aren't they prepared to defend their console fantasy at any cost? (joking again).

One suspect is a tall Hispanic man, dressed in black, and the other guy also had dark skin, black clothing and a hood. If you fit the description, maybe you should stay indoors for the next few days to avoid the rage of PS3 fanatics.

I must inform you that the two men also made off with 4 Xbox 360s, but I guess that Microsoft consoles are not that important nowadays. There are plenty of Xbox 360s while there are only 400,000 PS3s available in the U.S. at this moment. This news came via news10.net.
