Man Robs EB Games; Grabs 'Cheapo' 360

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Dallas police are looking for a man who robbed an EB games at gunpoint.

The man, who was the last remaining customer in the store, pointed a revolver at two employees and demanded money. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash, an X-Box game system and two games.

The sad part is that, according to Kotaku, the guy made off with the dreaded CORE xbox 360 system. Burn! Dude. You really have to check the box before you walk out. I mean, really--now you'll have to go back to EB and get the hard drive, membership to Live, etc... talk about suckage.

In this guy's defense, however, I have to think he's probably running on pure adrenaline, so decisive shopping is probably far down the to-do list. In fact, something tells me he probably grabbed a couple of Gamecube games by accident. Actually, when you think about it, how did he get the games anyway? They keep them behind the counter, right? Are you telling me that--after looting the register--this guy took the time to discuss what games to get for his system? God only knows how long that discussion lasted, since most register jokeys at EB can be charming fanboy know-it-alls. Honestly, I sometimes wish I had a gun when I was making a LEGAL purchase there.

All we can say is thank goodness no one was hurt. The police are asking for tips, but let's be honest: when this guy gets home and figures out he grabbed the GREEN box, chances are he'll be down at Target or Software Etc. looking for a wireless controller and hard drive. Just look for the really ticked off guy trying to return "Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth." "The guy at EB said it would rock!"
