That's not that surprising, actually. The general rule for any business is to give the gunholder whatever they are asking for. A PS3 can be replaced under the theft insurance. A human life cannot.

Now as far as his excuse goes, that's one of the more original ones I've heard.

Thank GOD the kidnappers didn't want a decent and plentiful PS3 game selection! His family would have been done for!

I wouldn't be surprised if the dumbass didn't ask for Battletoads.

I was not aware that Max Payne was out for the PS3 yet....

Genius, dis nagg*r played it to the end.

Extra points for resourcefulness, and originality.

Even used the call the 5-0 routine as he rolled to the end, and out the door.

Will he register the warranty, lets hope so.

Little Big Planet is gonna be the PS3 killer app! Relying on user created content is gonna be so tight i cant wait.

I heard about this guy, walked into a federal bank with a portable phone, handed the phone to the teller, the guy on the other end of the phone said: "We got this guy's little girl, and if you don't give him all your money, we're gonna kill 'er.

I guess it's not really the same, but it reminded me of that.

And that's why Second Life is the best-selling game on earth.

ok, i'm having a hard time sorting through your double negatives...but i just wanted to say Battletoads FTW! if they released that on psn i would buy the shiat out of it. the problem is, breaking a 6ax controller is a lot more expen$ive than breaking a nes one....

most frustrating game ever.

/ok i get it - you'd be surprised if he asked for battletoads. me too as it's an old ass game for the nes..not the ps3.

gothelder: I was not aware that Max Payne was out for the PS3 yet....

I'm sure he'll get Max Payne in prison. The extended version.

Thank you, thank you. The release I got was the MGS4 bundle pack for $500. MGS4 is fun, no doubt, but the system came with this coupon to download the full release of a game titled "Pain", in which using a massive slingshot you launch a human being into a city, attempting to cause not only the player great bodily harm and misery, but also untold amounts of property damage to the fair city. With the exception of Call of Duty 4 (which is the most fun I've had on a console in YEARS, the AC-130 Spectre mission is a large slice of Heaven) it is a game worth buying a PS3 for. It's this simple party game more rewarding than most $60 titles for the system. Play it if you get the chance, you may just find your bank account quickly missing $500.

As others have said, it is pretty much a standard rule of retail to just give them what they want.

But isn't is stupid to ask for a PS3? They know the serial numbers of all the PS3s that they had in stock. They just check to see which one is missing, and then as soon as he connects it to the internet, he farked. Ask for $500 and then go someone else and buy the thing (plus some games) and you can actually use the full functionality of the machine without fear of getting caught. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm neither a PS3 expert nor an armed robbery expert (my only experience with either is that my brother just bought a PS3 and I helped him hook it up to the TV)

This is why that I always go for the cash drawer when I rob stores. The cash is not easily traceable and I can use it to buy many PS3's.

What about that one game with Mudkip?

unicron702

i'm with you on COD4. It was fun start to finish...but the other games? i don't know. I think i'm getting old... video games just aren't doing it for me anymore. i'm fighting the good fight though - i keep buying games...but i get bored with them. assassin's creed...solid snake... i love rock band though. my wife was pretty pissed at my friend who took me to bestbuy and i came home w\ rockband... i was all doped up on vicodin after my wisdom teeth came out and he may have taken adavantage of that...of course - she loves it now.

at any rate - i'm going into the end of my 20s kicking and screaming i guess ;p

that being said - i love the ps3 for everything else - the media server feature rocks and blueray movies are incredible... i also put linux on it and now i have a perfectly decent media center pc.

by the way, that pixeljunk monsters game is like cocaine

I am exhausted from 30 nights. No person, even those of us who are superhuman, those of us with Herculean appetites for the diverse and the bizarre, even those of us who have shown an aptitude to fight the good fight and stay the good long battle...even those of us can get tired. And your boy is tired after 30 consecutive nights. I have a half hour to go and I'm gonna do that half hour because I'm a pro, and that's what pros do. I'm a pro-fessional. Look it up in the book.

This is probably all he can do with his ps3 in jail.

I can see the criminal calling ahead:

C: "Do you have any Wii's in stock?"
G: "Yes"
C: "I'll be over with a gun to demand one."
G: "Okay!"

Danger Avoid Death: gothelder: I was not aware that Max Payne was out for the PS3 yet....

In the anoos?

i love how Stormfront has the following section: "Stormfront en Español y Portugués; Spanish and Portuguese speaking White Nationalists"

Wife just got her Wii, lovin Bowling and Mario Galaxy....

I am sure they won't use it, but I am sure SONY has the capacity to find that machine the moment it hits the online network.

I'd say in the next 5 years, stealing any electronic device which hits a network will be completely worthless.

iPhone's will soon brick if reported stolen and wipe all data. They have to if they want to get in on the corporate market.

Many laptops offer similar services, but with included GPS and wide-are broadband, it'll be far more common and complex.

In college I worked at Radioshack (yes, I know... but I was actually knowledgeable and not a douche selling extra batteries) and you always think that it's no big deal and that I'd never stop a robber when I'm getting paid peanuts. But, one day a guy walked in and looked right at me and then ripped a camcorder off the security cable and took two dvd players and just casually walked out. I ran after him and slammed him to the ground just because of the nonchalantness of it all. I almost got fired.

RogermcAllen:
You do realize that over half of all Spore creatures created are penis monsters, right?

i didn't think Spore was out yet? Although, if you're just predicting then yes - i would imagine you're probably going to be proven correct ;p

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, I'm robbing you.

good think he didn't demand Battletoads

they don't have it...already checked

The Creature Creator has been out for a while, and there are some 2.7 million submissions in the Sporepedia already.

I don't know if they censored any of them. If they do, there may even be more monster-penis out there in the wild.

Lamune_Baba

wow, cool. i can't wait for this game!

/you said monster penis

That's quite a rational comment.

You must be new to Fark.

Pathman: wow, cool. i can't wait for this game!

I know. I just hope the actual "game" part is good. I'm more excited about Spore than I am Starcraft II.

I also hope the game has some sort of LAN feature, where you can have two or more players trying to build a civilization on the same planet. Because the Trogdor vs. Pedobear deathmatch, or Penis vs. Vaginamonster is going to consume many, many weekends if it works that way.

If I was the cashier and a guy had a gun and was demanding a PS3, I don't care what his excuse is for wanting one, he's getting it.

As for getting caught on connecting it to the internet... am I the only one who doesn't use my game consoles to play online?

Well there are the hippies, tardies, and the old fogies that time left behind. But other than that, yes.

ah memories. although painful memories of getting pissed off and throwing a controller across the room. As far as gamestop goes, I would sooner go to walmart to buy my gaming stuff.

/usually just browse ebay and craigslist.
