Thieves settle for PS4 after trying to rob sold-out Xbox One

Although most of us have been deliberating and trying to make a tough decision between Xbox One and PS4, it seems these thieves had their minds made up

JOE, like many others out there, has been struggling to make the difficult decision between the two fantastic looking next-generation consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.

Earlier this week however, it seems that a pair of thieves in Indianapolis had no such problems after they demanded that staff at a Game Stop store hand over all their Xbox Ones, and nothing else.

However, the staff had to inform them that there were none left in stock, at which point the crew made an on-the-spot decision to bring the crew into a room at the back, and have them hand over all the remaining PS4s instead. They made the employees lie on the ground and ended up ripping a security camera off the wall too, but there are no reports that anyone was hurt, although we’re sure the staff are a bit shaken up.

They made off with nine consoles to a value of $3,600, and according to WISH TV, the police are still looking for the pair.
