An Xbox is still an Xbox, and the Xbox 360 isnt crap, its just not to my taste. Thats why I dont like it. Still, hes the one with an Xbox 360, for free !

I would say it's utterly rediculous, but I've probably heard of worse. I hope they find the guy. It's bad enough that they resort to stealing an Xbox, but they held her at gun point. I can imagine that's a difficult trauma to get over.

I'm not suprised at all. Its a new, very expensive system, and people tend to get desperate.

wtf?
Do you actually think gamers are going out and stealing them for themselves?

Criminals are stealing them so they can sell them, it's not "just an XBox" they can go for well over $1000 on ebay.

Criminals perhaps, but I think ithere will be a lot of gamers doing this too. You know, the ones who don't want to pay $1000 on Ebay.

Exactly....he's just gonna hawk it for %100 profit. Not taking it for his enjoyment. I'm not an XBoxer, but I say gamers everywhere must rise up and SMASH this person! Who's with me?!

Um, any gamers who are doing this are criminals. Their motives may differ, but that doesn't really matter.

It's just too bad that she didn't have a gun too.

Well, yes, good point, but he was refering to criminals who steal for money, and I was pointing out that criminals who want games are doing this too.

You may call us dumb-headed but I can say almost the exact same thing about PS2/3 fans.

Do you honestly think someone desperate enough to do something like that would actually use the Xbox 360? They probably pawned it.

Yeah, I don't doubt it.....prolly got a Quarter of the price for it too.

You obviously don't know many desperate gamers, do you?

Either way, he deserves to meet with an unfortunate "accident."

Why do I get the feeling that you didn't actually read any of the thread before you posted?

Are you admitting to armed robbery?

And seriously, come on. No one desperate enough to steal a game system at gunpoint has the physique to run away after doing so, let alone risk their freedom for it, espeically since instead of getting rid of it quickly they'll have evidence in their living room for years to come.
Criminals who sell drugs, do other muggings, break into houses because they want the money do this.

Running away, even with a game system as bulky as a 360, wouldn't be that hard. The crime either took place not far from his home (or the place he was going to use/stash it), or he had a car close by.

While you have a valid point here, you are assuming that the people have some common sense, which is doubtful.

Yes, particularly someone who held a woman at gun point. Lots of common sense there.

The point I was trying to make is that anyone crazy enough to want to rob someone at gunpoint for their Xbox 360 would be unbelieveably fat.

Umm, that doesn't make much sense. Are you say that all crazy gamers are fat? I mean, sure, they may sit a lot, but that doesn't mean they have to be fat. I sit a good bit too, and I'm only 140 pounds.

These people you're describing are so obsessed with video games THEY ROB PEOPLE AT GUNPOINT FOR THEM.
I'm pretty damn lazy and I like video games too. But not enough to terrorize and risk killing someone to play fucking Need for Speed.

Well no /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif, but I was talking about whether or not they were criminals doing it for money or hardcore gamers who want to play an xbox 360.
