Robber wants PS3, settles for a 360 instead

May 04, 2007 in News comments 8

A member scanned in a page from his local news paper which reported on a man who tried to hold up a Blockbuster video and video game rental store demanding a PS3. However, the store in fact did not have any PS3's so the man had to settle on what they did have; an XBOX 360. To go along with his 360 he also took a handful of games with him to complete the package.

A gun-wielding robber demanding cash and a Playstation 3 from a Blockbuster grudgingly accepted an Xbox 360 when he found out that don't carry the Sony console, the London News reports.

The hooded robber walked from the store with the 360 and a handful of games. Police arrived a good 20 minutes later.

    I wouldn't take it if I was him. I would just check in with another store and steal it from there.

    So many murders and stealing going on just for the PS3. There was another report where a truck was completely hijacked and it had numerous Xbox 360 consoles.

    The reason I can see a robber wanting a ps3 instead is the price really, why steal something that is £300 when you can steal something worth over £100 more. Though him taking games sort of makes it seem like he may have been stealing it to actually use himself.

    You dudes who are arguing over system specs are *bleep*ed. He stole something because, as was stated previously, it was WORTH more, not because he wanted to play it.
