More Thefts at PS3 Launch Reported

None

Several more thefts related to the PlayStation 3 launch have been reported.

A pair of armed men with handguns stole five PS3s from an EB Games in Ohio, according to the Englewood Police Department. The two men entered the store around 9 p.m. on Thursday night and ordered the employees into the back storeroom. The systems were stolen, but all employees are fine.

In Connecticut, a man waiting in line for the PlayStation 3 was shot by two armed men. He was hospitalized last night.

Another man in Manchester, Connecticut was mugged on his way to his car after purchasing a PlayStation 3 at EB Games. One of the criminals watched the man purchase the console and then called his friends in the parking lot who tackled the man to the ground and stole the PS3. This man has posted a plea for someone with an extra system to offer it to him at a reasonable price on Sony Computer Entertainment America’s official message boards.
