Masked Gunmen Make Off With PS3s

[PS3 News]

November 17, 2006 - California police are attempting to track down two hooded gunmen wanted for the robbery of an Elk Grove game store and stealing the entirety of their PS3 supply.

The suspects casually walked into a GameStop store early Thursday morning toting guns, and casually walked out with several PS3s and four Xboxes.

In a surprising break from racial profiling stereotypes, the suspects were described as an African-American and a Hispanic, both wearing hooded sweatshirts.

With the supply of the PS3 being as limited as it is, undoubtedly these men were planning on raking in the dough reselling the consoles on eBay. The average closing price for PS3 auctions is $2,600.

I wonder how a buyer on ebay is going to feel after pay over $2000 for a pre ordered PS3, and then find out that the sellers pre ordered PS3 from Game Stop got stolen.
