The Playstation 3 Mania has hit frenzied pitch folks. The long lines. The media hype-o-rama. Now the muggings. Yes, the muggings. And shootings.Â
Â
In Putnam, Conn two men in masks robbed the crowd waiting in line for their precious Playstation III. One console fan resisted and was shot as a result. The bandits fled and authorities are in pursuit with a Need for Speed. I guess it’s Grand Theft Console? ok, bad pun. The video victim is in the hospital in serious condition.
Â
Short supplies and shorter tempers are the result of this grand release of gaming mania.Â
Â
In Palmdale, Calif., authorities shut down a Super Wal-Mart after some shoppers got rowdy late Wednesday. In West Bend, Wis., a 19-year-old man was injured when he ran into a pole racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart.
Â
In Lexington, Ky., police were investigating a drive-by shooting that hit four people with BB pellets outside a Best Buy store, causing minor injuries, according to WKYT, whose own reporter was hit as she interviewed buyers in line.
Â
A Best Buy in Boston, aware it had only 140 of the consoles, got smart _ its employees gave out tickets to the first 140 people in line so everyone could go home.
Â
Me? I’m going to get mine off eBay for an exorbitant price! Beats getting shot!
Â
Â
Yup, it’s a bit insane when you’re a target in a video game while trying to get the video game. Maybe some game company will make a game about getting the hardware.
KillStation 3 … coming soon to a Wally World near you!
