    This would be that guy, when you tried to corner him about pirating a game by saying, "Would you just walk into a store and take a game? This is the same thing," he'd say, "Yes. Yes I would." #crime

    Ahhh, poetic/ironic justice. GameStop has been ripping people off for years with their trade-in deals and over priced bundle packs... isn't it time somebody sucker punched then for once?

    Now I wasn't there, but my friends, I can tell you it went down something like this: #crime

    I would have say the following:

    "Unless your buddy has a SCAR-H with Jacketed Hollow points, GFYS".

    Then imply i have a Shotgun under the counter.

    If it's a bulff he walk's out and i call the cops. If he is not, well i know how to disarm people with anything from a Knife to a AR. #crime

    What was REALLY shocking was that the employee tried to get him to pre-order Mass Effect 2 after giving him the copies of Modern Warfare 2.

    Dialog of the exchange as transcribed from security tapes:

    GS Employee: "Hi, welcome to GameStop, can I help you with anything?"
    Alleged Robber: "Yeah, I got a friend outside and he's got a gun. Anyone tries to call the cops and he'll start shooting. So start filling bags with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision; the sequel to the Critically Acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare."
    GS Employee: "Huh? Oh. Oooooh. You're the- er, I mean, yes sir, whatever you say. Just don't shoot anyone! Here you go, exactly 100 copies of the game. 50 for XBOX 360 and 50 for PS3."
    Alleged Robber: "Good. Oh, uh... could you grab me a couple PS3s and XBoxes... some extra controllers too?"
    GS Employee: "Sure, just give me a second I'll go grab them from the back.
    Okay, here you are, anything else?"
    Alleged Robber: "Uh, yeah, can you help me carry it to my car? I mean... this is a lot of stuff..."
    GS Employee: "Sure thing. Oh, uh, right, and don't shoot me or kidnap me or anything."

    Clearly this nefarious criminal knew exactly what he was doing, picking up the season's hottest title in the hopes of getting the biggest bang for his lack of buck. #crime
