article published on 4 December, 2006
The launch of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console in the U.S. had a well-publicized dark side with the media reporting armed robbery and gun shot wounds among other horrible incidents. It's easy for people to get very angry about this senseless violence and to crave justice on those who commit these acts. One such attack was on a student who waited at Wal-Mart for three days to buy two consoles. ... [ read the full article ]

All this for a ps3. What would they do for the ps4 when that comes :P
If they want to acquire this console and sell it. Why don't they just get the Wii and do that. It's cheaper :P
What a joke.

That is a shame! People will go crazy over a game system & it should not be that way. I know a lot of people want one, but hey don't put your life on the line for a console of any kind. What kind of world is this?...

Stuff like this has been happening for thousands of years. We just hear about more incidence because of technology and fast media circulation.
1000 years ago....they would have been stoned to death..... (ironically...they where probably "stoned" when they stole it).
I'm 40 years old. I would never do something like that now. However, i remember in my 20's, I contemplated on busting into a Video Rental Store to steal all their Nintendo games. I didn't...but i sure wanted to...just too chicken. I think there is a certain "Stupid" stage we all go thru.... and hopefully we don't get TOO stupid.
Sometime times its not just stupidity. Some people are just dark entities. They will and always will do crazy bad things like this...and there's not much u can do about it, but lock them up, and through away the key.
Stealing from piece of merchandise is not the same a beating some guy up and then stealing it from him. I think we are in for some rough times ahead....some rough violent times. I don't live in the US, but i wouldn't want to....knowing so much people carry a hand gun around. I mean...a gun has one purpose !!!
The thieves probably stole it to re-sell it, not play it. Need some cash for the crack....what a world.

It's called human nature, and it's worldwide. Not just in the US.

That's sad in more way than one. It's far too sad. When will America learn it's just a video game, it's not worth it?

Judging by the name.............what do you wanna bet that Peyton Strickland is a black person............I mean for crying out loud........blacks constitute 405 of the population and make up 97% of America's crime. Only a nige or white trash would do something as low as this.

This story was about a person who got shot in the process of being arrested for being a part of a group who robbed and beat someone. The game console was incidental. They could have just as easily been mugging the guy for his shoes. PS3 is cool and all that crap, just don't give it more importance than it deserves. It's a game console. That's all.

the me me me factor + common stupidity + mob the only good thing from this is when the government finally fails us and makes us into a 2nd class nation these people will go nuts the down side of it they might go nuts before then 0_o
Anyway in all I think its par for the coarse now adays info is spread fast so the number of crimes is more or less what they have always been thru a simi stable society.

@NEPHILIM
Mayhaps you would like to clear his posts? They probably shouldn't be here at all. We don't need the ignorance.
Anywho, I think there's still some news to be seen, when Australia and the UK get their systems. But the US is huge, and retailers here were not nearly as organized as they were in Japan; it's like creating a breeding ground for muggings and violence... Bad idea. I wonder if by PS4, someone will sue the RETAILER for not having adequate security and preperations... That would actually make a lot of sense to me...
