6000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 stolen in truck heist - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Resfan;33160763]All this for a VIDEO GAME, come on people, thats just sad.[/QUOTE] how are you this dense

now all you have to do is just go to a high school and keep selling them there and you will be rid of the game in no time. all the kids at the high school i go to worship call of duty. only found 1 person who preffered BF3 instead.

[QUOTE=Resfan;33160763]All this for a VIDEO GAME, come on people, thats just sad.[/QUOTE] No, it's genius. Worth 400,000 euro for the entire shipment, could you imagine selling that? Don't forget that idiot who bought a copy of Modern Warfare 3 for 1k euro or something on EBay. It had [B]88 bids[/B].

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;33160902]If the 1500 dollar copy is anything to go by, they just made around $9,000,000, if they can get rid of all the copies before street date.[/QUOTE] no one is going to buy it for HALF the price that one guy did

[QUOTE=Resfan;33160763]All this for a VIDEO GAME, come on people, thats just sad.[/QUOTE] And not just a video game, but rather 6000 video games.

Call of Duty's base consists primarily on people who lack any real skill.

Plus the truck itself is worth value, strip it down and rebuild it so it is a "legal" truck, Everything has a value and price.

[QUOTE=krazipanda;33161009]no one is going to buy it for HALF the price that one guy did[/QUOTE] Still, 4 million plus a truck. Not bad.

Pretty goddamn funny, yet sad at the same time.

[QUOTE=Mr Flexi;33160245]Risking prison and or your life for some video games, I can't even comprehend this. I mean shit, I love video games, but there's a line...[/QUOTE] Or maybe its the money their worth?

All I could think when I saw the title was "People are getting desperate". Considering they're actually doing it for the money though, these people would make a shitload of money if they sold the games at the same price that one man bought it for a while ago, nearly 2,000 dollars I think, maybe even more. It's easily possible that other people would be just as eager to get the game to spend that much money on it.

Is this a promotional thing? FLASHBANGS? Come the fuck on

They cant wait a few days for a video game They even used tear gas what has video games come to.

[QUOTE=mbreunig91;33161221]They cant wait a few days for a video game They even used tear gas what has video games come to.[/QUOTE] Its called fencing those games.

Wouldn't these games have some sort of region-lock? Seems like the thieves wouldn't be able to sell it globally.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;33161068]Still, 4 million plus a truck. Not bad.[/QUOTE] Uh 400,000 is four hundred thousand not four million.

[QUOTE=Jsm;33161342]Uh 400,000 is four hundred thousand not four million.[/QUOTE] Street value was listed there, if they fence them off before release date, they have closer to my figure.

Obligatory "and nothing of value was lost."

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;33161386]Wow, people get this batshit insane for a freaking video game?[/QUOTE] Yeah, they robbed 6,000 copies of a game just to play it, and not because they're worth 400k EU.

What's the largest crime syndicate in France?

I've always dreamt of doing something like this :v:

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;33161801]Holy shit, I've never seen so much crime sprouted from a video game release before.

Are people really this excited to play the same fucking game again?[/QUOTE] Read the hole thread before making a reply, this is for the 400k not for the game you idiot

If that was the case they wouldn't need to knock out the drivers to just take like maybe 1 or 2 copies.

I feel sorry for the truck drivers.
