What kind of people really want the 360?
Here's your answer...

Consoles taken at gunpoint just hours ago; thief apprehended, consoles recovered.
A Stafford, Virginia, Electronics Boutique store was the scene of an armed robbery this morning. According to sources, the perpetrator made off with two Xbox 360 systems, forcing the store manager to hand them over at gunpoint.
Sources tell GameSpot the local police responded quickly, cordoned off the store, and immediately pursued the thief. The thief was apprehended shortly afterward.
Because the police consider the heist an ongoing criminal investigation, store employees were reluctant to discuss details of the robbery. But as of press time, the store is open, and all systems are back to normal.
"We're all fine, and everything is cool," a store staffer told GameSpot.

Why? Did they think the 360s were Computers or something? |

They stole them because they're morons. I recall a simliar story the day the dreamcast released but at least that thief waited and tailed the victims from the store. I think that if I were going to rob the store I might take the cash tho.
Of course if this was in Japan then he would have stolen GameBoy Micros. http://www.pocketotaku.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10822 |

Wow...some people I tell ya. Thank god there wasn't anyone like that when I picked up mine.
But then again, I picked up mine at a Target. Call it a hunch, but I don't think they would get too far in a Target. |

Agreed. I just thought it was humorous.
As a side note, combined with this... its just fact that some of the people buying them are just plain stupid. |

If I were going to steal an Xbox360 I would at least be creative about it.
1> buy it under a false name pay in cash at a game store three/ four towns over
2>weigh the whole thing. gut out the inards and replace them with whatever till I have the weight close enough that the store clerk won't notice
3>take it home transfer all the inards into my gaming tower( so far its I've moded in the N64/PS1/PS2/XBOX/ and a power gaming pc to boot.
4> return the "tweaked" system to the store for credit, buy a bunch of pre-owned games with te credit and go home. |
