I'm assuming the cost of the trucks is included as well, but the bulk of that figure is probably taken up by the games.AnarchistFish said:
why don't they make a video game out of these guys and their antics? it could be an action comedy!
they go around and try and rob banks but end up robbing completely different shit!
...be better than COD.....

I like how you assume he got it for the multiplayer and not the singleplayer which is about 10 times better. Wouldn't blame the guy. I'm interested in how the story continues too. And what happened to the characters from MW2.Mirror Cage said:
OT: You'd think they'd rob a bank or something with equipment like that.
Sounds like an EA marketing ploy for Battlefield 3. We'll know for sure when the first set of DLC missions includes one where you have to hijack a truck full of mind-control devices that target 8 year olds. Set in France.
I can imagine that most of the games will end up on eBay in hopes of getting even close to the $1700 as reported earlier in the week. Although it strikes me as strange that someone would know which truck happened to be carrying copies of MW3. Either it's an inside job or the thieves just wanted whatever was in the first truck they found. Imagine if they stole hundreds of boxes of tampons. They could hold the world to ransom, threatening to dry up the oceans unless they get a free copy of MW3 each.

Didn't this happen with COD Blops too? Seriously... Why would you even steal this game. I haven't played it so I'm not going to judge. Can't you just be satisfied with playing COD Blops?
It's another realistic shooter (the biggest judgment I'll make) There are several hundred variations now, why not just be happy with one of those...
That was directed to the people who wait on launch day for this software, not the robbers themselves... I actually applaud them for exploiting the gamer market because it's just a smaller scale of what Activision is doing...

Seriously, this happened? SERIOUSLY? I would link the "I don't want to live on this planet any more" but frankly this doesn't deserve it. It's not funny-stupid enough, it's just dumb in every conceivable way.
It's a fucking game. Is waiting a few weeks really just so impossible for people that they felt the need to become an armed vigilante group just to get it?
I fucking hate this planet and it's becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate the relentless stupidity of some video game fans.

I wonder what the cost was if you don't include the software price(as in the cost for the physical disk and cases)?
This is why I buy all my games in the UK. Even with shipping & handling, it's still cheaper, and it's in frakin' English. Seriously.Sam Vimes said:
Okay, I saw this, and I just shook my head. It's ridiculous. I'm an avid gamer, but to go through all that trouble and risk ending up in the slammer for that... It's just plain stupid.
