  • chonuts, on 04/29/2008, -1/+7It's spelled, retailer.
  • chonuts, on 04/29/2008, -1/+7Unless they shot the box multiple times and hit it with a bat before ravenously tearing it open while screaming obscenities, I don't buy your theory.
  • mattymc, on 04/28/2008, -2/+6Oh the irony
  • innocentsinner, on 04/29/2008, -0/+4That happened days ago

  • omnithought, on 04/29/2008, -1/+2I'm guessing you're just missing a /sarcasm tag, but just in case...where's the violence? If they're stealing, then yes, they're criminals, but I don't think anyone's being physically hurt in the process, unless they're handing the copy to the eager recipient and then beating the crap out of them while running away with the game, yelling "Sucker!"
  • skywake, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1One of the first cases of correctly stated irony I have seen for a while on the internets and its being buried. Very fitting.
  • widgetmaker, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Surely these guys know about the security measures in place, thus should no that they're v likely to be caught.
  • Frogee, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

  • Etchii, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Its true... every time I see a box or a wooden crate I have an urge to smash it open in search of a health pack or power up.

  • ats314, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1that better not have been my reserved copy.
  • RSTaichi, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Pretty weak to put your job on the line for something like this.
  • whymanwhy, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1I know alot of UPS guys that are gamers.
  • cam503, on 04/28/2008, -2/+2Apparently UPS doesn't screen for common sense before they hire.

    Not really, but you get it.
  • zzhiwen, on 04/29/2008, -2/+1no
  • Azimuth1, on 04/28/2008, -10/+2As if we needed any further proof that video games turn people into violent criminals.
