Archive: 21 posts


just wow (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1132863p1.html)

The Baltimore Sun reports two men armed with handguns stole four cases of Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops video game, cash, and gaming systems from a GameStop store at the Bel Air shopping center in Harford County, Md. late Saturday night.

The robbers made off with more than 100 copies of Black Ops, which is set to go on sale this Tuesday. The local sheriff's office is asking residents to contact them if they come across early copies of the game.


i just love the fact that they stole a whole bunch of copies of the game but didnt steal any money from the register

Actually, doesn't the article say they also stole cash and gaming systems? Still... who steals from a game store? That's pretty low.

I'm not sure who's gonna get those burglars first...

The nearby cops, or all of the angry gamers who pre-ordered at that GameStop.

Because gamers are MUCH more hardcore when it comes to CoD, Halo is more centered around fun then basement dwelling extremists - and CoD is for all systems.

I wouldn't call it a low but some guy from Youtube that lives in USA bought a 1000$ ticket to go to New Zealand so he could have the game earlier.2010-11-09 05:14:00

I thought everything was delayed 3-4 weeks later in New Zealand?

Yeah that's the case usually but everything seems to be coming out at the same time for Black Ops, Mexico had their copies early too.

Well that makes no sense. You'd think they'd be releasing them at the same time...

I think everywhere has the same release date but the time varies because of time zones. Stores do get their stock in before the release date and there's often stores that break the street date for games.
