Thief denied PS3, gets Xbox 360 instead
A robbery at a UK Blockbuster didn't go off as planned when the thief requested a PLAYSTATION 3 and ended up settling for an Xbox 360. The two Blockbuster employees working at the store were apparently approached by the suspect, who brandished a gun and asked for money from the registers. Afterwards, his request for a PLAYSTATION 3 unit was denied, due to the store "not having one available". So he asked for an Xbox 360 and grabbed nearly $800.00 in Xbox 360 games before exiting the store. Police didn't arrive on the scene for almost 20 minutes after the call, due to an address mixup.
Seems to go against the grain of reports that PS3s are stocked and widely available. Perhaps a price cut would alleviate threats of future robberies like this? Let's hope so, but don't hold your breath.
