Blockbuster bandit settles for XBox 360

An armed robber who demanded a Playstation 3 at gunpoint agreed to settle for an XBox 360 when staff told him they didn't stock the computer game console.

Hahahahahha.

He had to settle for a xbox360

All he wanted to do was folding@home!!

[gta_cb]

the fact it says he has to "settle for an xbox 360" is a great line for arguments lol, watch out incase the known fanboys come online and see this. if i was that man i would have still taken loads of PS3 games aswell ;)

[BIadestarX]

Sounds funny, but this can be used as an advertising.

bandit: Freeze! Give me all the PS3 you have!

staff: excuse me?

bandit: You heard me!!! I will not ask one more time! Give me all the PS3 you have!

staff: Sorry Sir, we don't carry those.

bandit: Why not!?

staff: at blockbuster were are not taking taking part of the format war just yet; it's too early to take sides.

bandit: what are you talking about!? The PS3 is a game console!

staff: Actually it's a blu-ray player and at the moment there is only 2 good games...

bandit: really...

staff: Yes, the 360 has more game and better online...

bandit: Freeze mother trucker! Give me all the Xbox 360 you have.

staff: ohh no... not again...

[bandit runs out the door.... {few minutes later}... bandit at home paying Xbox 360 over xbox live GTA4 + exclusive content} JUMP IN!

[nix]

the "red rings" strikes 360. burglar goes, "WTF?"

drives back to the store and shoots down the staff who gave him the 360.

oh.. well... reality sucks!

--- THE END ----

It looks as if a fanboy *bladestar* has found and commented right below you. Fanboyism at its BEST. Gotta hate them xbots.

[23478ueyur_938223]

LMFAO!

[gta_cb]

lol its actually pretty funny that someone would rob blockbusters, as for the cops going to the wrong address ... haha! woops thats got to be a little bit embarressing! lol

[sak500]

He must have heard one of Ken's motivational speeches or maybe had gone mad seeing the amazing adverts shown on the tv.

[anh_duong]

you guys make it sound so awful that he had to settle for an xbox360. it wasn't that bad - at least he got an elite.

[nix]

i guess.. we'll soon see him back at the store to "pick-up" the HD-DVD drive.. q:

[anh_duong]

hahah. and IF it was a display xbox360 in one of those perspex cabinets then i can only guess that we all do him a favour and post the microsoft customer support number here..

[caffman]

it says a lot that Blockbusters don't stock PS3!

[kewlkat007]

why wouldn't BB carry PS3's?

Of course a big difference in not having some in stock and not stocking all together...

[Bebedora]

Was my reaction too. Why on earth did they not have any in stock?

[techie]

Blockbuster do carry them...wonder why this one doesnt though. Doubt they sold out to be honest.

Apparently a lady brought back a ps3 and swapped it for a 360. Her reason was "The ps3 is a b*tch to clean" ;)

[Bebedora]

I have to agree on that one. Black covered electronics, shiny and dust goes together somehow.

That it's not selling like hotcakes is one thing and so my reaction to it. Maybe the clerk was an avid fanboy of the xbox? *S*

"No playstation will cross my desk, not on my shift! Over my dead body!"

[donscrillinger]

at least he went home with the best system ....lol he didnt even know it

[bootsielon]

He had to settle. So... no.

[kewlkat007]

of settled for a WII too you know, but he wanted a Next-Gen console..Ha

[weekapaugh]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,

rough week for the 360, getting battered left and right. if the 360 was a stock it would be de-listed by now.

[predator]

its been bad for the ps3 since launch do we keep bringin that up

[warfed]

lol yes you do...

[THAMMER1]

Every one knows the 360 is the best option today. Most people are still waiting to see if the PS3 is truly worth it. I mean it is $600.00 people are stealing and killing for one because they have not educated them self on video games consoles enough to know that the hype in unfounded.

Stop trying to fine true purchase security from the articles on this web site. Your security will come from your games selection and how often you turn on your console for that. Not for folding, not for some elementary school educated dummy who tries to rob a Block buster for a games console.

[nix]

no one got hurt, right? so chill. everyone is just having fun.

if you want to bring it to attention then why only target PS3 fanboys...? what about Bladestar? he's written the whole script for an ad? i think even he doesn't take the news seriously.

save your energy to flame other articles... don't worry there'll be enough! q:

EDIT: @THAMMER (below)

don't worry dude... i wasn't offended at all... as you said, your finger was pointed to only PS3 fans so just wanted that corrected! q:

peace!

[THAMMER1]

I'm not trying to offend you or anyone else but just look through the stories for the past 4 - 5 days. The comment sections are plagued but mostly proven PS3 only gamers. So yeah my post may have been a bit too general but you have to real when you notice PS3 fans trying to call out The Mart and turning non PS3 vs 360 articles into that over and over again.

Also I had 7 bubbles last month and now I'm down to 5. You can look through all my post to see which ones I should be reported for you will find just one. It was the post that i told Jin that I would not fart in his direction if he was drowning. While funny that comment is very offensive but D@mn if he did not deserve it.

[anh_duong]

the way this bubble system is going i think the more post you make the more likely you are going to lose bubbles.. that is unless you suck up to everyone.. the system is a bit silly - they should make it easier to add bubbles than to take off..

[predator]

Only fanboys could make this out into a story its not, jesus

[daomay]

He went home happy with the xbox 360....hook that shiit up....then jump online then realize he has to pay to play online lol "WTF" said the Robber....

Watch out xbots owners this guy is gonna rob peoples with the xbox360 to get your account detail 'cause the brother aint go no $ to play online....

better watch ur back gals....

[BIadestarX]

What @#$#4 you mean by "'cause the brother"?....
Also, he can always go back to store and get some xbox live cards, and microsoft points... all covered.
Besides if he would gotten a PS3... ooops there is no online element for the PS3 version of GTA. LOL.

[daomay]

Wat if he get home then he found out the xbox360 doesnt support 1080p?

"WTF" again said the robber

beside that xbox360 is no use to the brother anyway...If that shiit break he cant it back to Blockbuster and get a replacement....'cause it is a stolen property lol

[Eldon3]

This is kinda funny, because i bought my PS3 from a blockbuster because everybody else was sold out.

[drtysouf21]

This is funny!

[Xeoset]

He only settled for a 360 because his getaway car wouldn't move with the 2-Ton PS3 weighing it down.

When he got home I bet he was chuffed he settled for such an awesome console.

[XxZxX]

This just in,
The robber got home and played his 360 and 360 gave the ring of death after a couple hour of intensive gaming. He just surrender to police because he knows blockbuster employee got him real good there. Shouldn't have settle, he added.

[Frulond]

good one hahahaha

[lil bush]

now thats funny

[BIadestarX]

You want to know what's really funny? Eventhough all sony fanboys in this site dislike me (You can tell with the disagree, regarless of what I write (even this joke I wrote on top)... I got you all write about the $h!t I started. About what I want. I would like to thank you for allowing me to own your life while you guys focus on about me or something I wrote. Negative or possitive influence on people is always power.

[XxZxX]

nehhh, it just ur poor taste in humour, that's all.

[Covenant]

Maybe he wanted a PS3 because it'll have a higher resale value than a 360, based on retail price alone. It's the same reason why people try to steal 360 and PS3 games from my store, rather than Wii or PS2 or anything else: Higher value at street resale, on eBay, or at trade-in.

Just a thought.
