PS3 theft: 180 units stolen in Japanese warehouse |
Ó
Seems like the PS3 still remains as one of the most coveted items in Japan, as a small-scale warehouse theft occurred just yesterday at Nakashi.According to a Mainichi Daily News report, a total of 180 PS3 units were stolen from a Japanese transport company's warehouse located at Nakashi -- a loss that amounted to ¥ 9.5 million (that's US$ 82,600!).
An employee from the Meitetsu Golden Kouku Ibaraki Jigyousho company said that at around 1:30 p.m., he noticed a total of around ninety boxes in the warehouse were missing. Unfortunately, each box contained two PS3 units, making it easier for the robbers to swipe as much PS3's as they could.
The local Japanese police were then informed of the incident and started their investigation.
The police concluded that based on the shipping records, the crime occurred sometime between 9 a.m. and 1: 30 p.m. Japanese authorities are still working on the case and continuing their investigation. Now, whether this is an inside job or a fake robbery like the one in Gamestop Elk Grove, we'll leave it up to the Japanese police to find out.

anyway that sucks because its going to decline ps3 sales causing the media and the public not helping boosting ps3 sales.
this wouldnt happen if $ony released MORE systems. no violence, no ridiculous eBay prices, etc.
no text LOL
maybe a xbox fan *****ersss
they're going to steal all the ps3's they've sold and sell them again, doubling the total launch number of units!! cunning way of circumventing the shortage.
lucky bastard or more likely bastards
Joke is on the guy's who stole them. The system sucks and the graphics are exactly the same as the xbox 360. When is a good console going to come out???
you do remember that a truck load of 360s was stolen last month don't you??? You mean to tell me this is b/c there aren't enough 360 units out yet? let me tell you a little story about a man named shhh!!!
I honestly think it was an inside job, how can they be so careless. The employees must have had something to do with it, you just don't "notice" 90 boxes missing
Dude Sony can't help how high people are selling PS3s on eBay for... and Sony was TRYING to release more systems, thats why they were sent to the warehouse, to be sold later. Don't get me wrong, I hate Sony... just saying.
