    Hey Cola,
    How come he stole a PS2 instead of a PS3?
    Is it because of some of PS3s aren't backwards compatible and he need to play his Final Fantasy? lol!

    Authorities still looking for suspect in Game Stop robbery

    By Katie Nichols (Contact) | Selma Times-Journal

    I A potential big sale turned into an big robbery Sunday.

    Suspect stole more than $1,000 in merchandise and cash from Gamestop, 2414 Kimble Road.

    The suspect entered the store around 11:50 a.m.

    The employee helped the individual and helped other customers who entered the store.

    “The subject shopped in the store and picked out an X-Box360, a Playstation 2 and various video games and acted as if he was going to purchase the items,” Lt. David Evans, spokesman for the police department, said. “He acted like he was going to purchase the items.”

    The person approached the clerk after the remaining customers left.

    “The offender showed the employee a handgun and demanded the cash in the cash register,” Evans said. “He then ordered the store employee to go to the back of the store and wait 10 minutes before calling anyone.”

    The suspect made off with the gaming consoles, $150 in games and $250 in cash.

    Police are asking for any information on this case.

    The clerk described the suspect as black male, in his 20s, around 5-10 and he weighed 160 to 180 pounds, police said.

    Police officers believe the suspect left in a white pick-up truck.

    Gamestop has security cameras at the counter and on parking spaces in front of the store.

    The police department is investigating the footage from the tape.

    The perpetrator of this crime faces a charge of robbery first degree.

    State law classifies robbery first degree as a class-A felony.

    Conviction of a class-A felony constitutes 10 to 99 years in jail and a fine of up to $60,000.

    it could have been from the PS2 Bargain bin. you know you can pick up that Madden with Daunte Culpepper on the cover.

    he could have stolen all the used games or greatest hits games.

    he's in a state of shock
    given the fact that a robber could have anything in the store,

    every final fantasy game
    all the strategy guides
    PS3 with metal gear solid

    and he just stole a ps2.

    it shocks his beliefs and rattles his thoughts.

    question:

    if you guys were in the store would you tell the robber

    "Hey dude, why don't you steal the PS3? its a bluray player plus you get to play Final Fantasy!"

    Robber "Final Fantasy is coming out on 360 too!... oh, your wallet all your money please.."


    hahahahhahahahhahahahhaah
