Robbers Target GameStop for Copies of Black Ops

[ProfessorLayton]

Are you sure they don't want the used copies?

That is the best post I've seen all day. You get the Professor Layton Seal of Approval because that was hilarious.

Now let's watch the idiots who wtole the game copies to try and play online before the game actually releases. I would piss myself laughing if they did that

Yeah, loads of people managed to get the game before release day because the games got sent out early. Don't think that'd work

You know the world has more than one time zone right? People in Spain have been playing this game for a good amount of time already...

And you realize that two people logging onto XBOX live or the PSN from america where it hasn't been released yet would PROBABLY send up a red flag or two as to WHO stole the game. They would literally be holding up a sign saying "We're here!" Especially if they played from the same region as the theft.

Oh yes, xbox live administrators sure do a good job of this stuff, thats why it took them a whole 3 months to tell my friend to change his name from 'TheJewDestroyer43' to something else because it violated the code of conduct...

No flags are raised unless enough other xbox live users report a certain user enough, and even then it takes forever for them to get anything done.

Chalk another piece of ammo for those great government officials for why video games cause crime and should be banned. Although this is more relevant to greed, as no thief really needs to play a game 100 times by owning it 100 times, it's likely to be blown out of perspective nonetheless.

Hopefully they will be stupid criminals and play the game early, making it somewhat easier to find them.

Savvy thieves in Bel Air, Maryland

That...that's...that's just too good...

Those thieves better be careful, lest their mama's ship them off to somewhere else.

Okay thank you. I was going to go nuts if nobody else thought of Fresh Prince.

Imagine the beat from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Got it? Good.

Now this is a story all about how
A gamestop clerk's life got flipped upside-down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you about the robbers of Bel-Air

In West Maryland born and raised
Over the counter is where he spent most of his days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
Talkin' about Sims swimmin' in pools
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in the neigborhood
He got in one little fight and his manager got scared
He said "I'ma call the police department in Bel-Air"

They finished up in the shop around seven or eight
And they yelled to the clerks "yo holmes, smell ya later!"
He looked at his job
He was finally there
Sittin' in the crime scene in the Gamestop of Bel-Air.

I love you right now.

Guess they figure it was a good deal to probably sell those on the street for some nice CHA CHING come launch date if they haven't already been caught/sold off all the games already.

So conflicted.....

I hate thieves and I hate Activision, guys, help.

Thieves won't VAC ban you for the "crime" of having your MW2 key gifted from a different region.

An unmarked white van? Does anyone know if they'll be giving away free candy with a copy of Black Ops?

 

[Silver Patriot]

Didn't a similar thing happen with MW2?
