I’m still expecting someone to reveal this is an elaborate viral marketing stunt, but Eurogamer points out that Agence France Presse have got the story, so apparently it’s true: over the weekend in France, a pair of criminals ambushed and hijacked a van carrying 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3.
The van stopped when it was involved in an accident with a car (presumably staged by the thieves). The drivers stepped out of the van, at which point two men attacked them with tear gas before getting into the van and driving away with 400,000 euros worth of on-rails shooter and popular multiplayer.
According to the AFP report, a second robbery happened on Saturday, when three armed bandits hijacked another van’s worth of games, and the total loss at this point is over 780,000 euros, and another win for French surrealism.

Update not included in the article: yesterday another truck got hijacked, the stolen amount now rise to... 780 000 euros.

When a player casts a spell, you will see the hand gesture is that of how homosexuals fling devil DNA juices at each other after a long night of fecal frenzy ass assassinations. This is subliminally teaching your children that they need to go in their rooms, demon whack their sin staff and produce sin milk into their hands and than fling it in the face of the first person they come in contact with after their taint tugging session.

Lmao!

I watched the countdown to MW3 this morning for the lulz, not even that awesome, more like MW2.5.

That's hilarious though.

A whole truckload.

My dad got a haircut today. I told him not to! Now it's even harder to tie a bow in his hair! He said he asked the person giving the haircut to just cut his hair a little, but she ended up cutting it much more than he wanted her to. Ugh, women can't do anything right. They really should stay in the kitchen.

wait, can't they just make it so the copies that are stolen can't be played online or something? Like by I dunno, tracing product code, delivery/shipment code and then illegitimizing all copies of the game in said shipment?

There are infinitesemally few product lines that feature individual unique tracking outside of large appliances and expensive electronics. I would be extremely surprised if EA or the product manufacturer wasted the cash on a database that tracked when and where each product key went (including the liability of that info being comprimised). Product keys are ran off at production and put in boxes...the upc outside the boxes is identical.

Welp, I'm not hurt. Sucks for everyone else, though.

But still, what exactly are they gonna do with them? Put 'em on the black market or something?

It would be cool if these exact copies of the game would rise in value now, becoming rarities. Pretty similar to the Cheetahmen II games :)

I suppose they must have set up claymores by the door and stuff.
