Not too sure how the thieves, when caught (Activision is using Sam Worthington in there ads, he'll catch em!) will explain their sentence to other inmates, video game theft does not exactly get you the biggest rep in prison!

The details are a little sketchy, with French news reporting that the truck suffered a collision with a car on Saturday Morning in the Creteil area in southern Paris.

Two masked thieves, armed with tear gas, neutralised the truck drivers and made off with the 6000 strong hoard of Call of Duty games.

Here is a picture of what I wish the getaway van looked like:)Or a van that I wish would be added as a vehcile in Modern Warfare 3.



All up, the shipment was estimated to be worth around 400,000 euros (approximately $550,000USD), so it was a nice grab.

Selling them may be a little harder, of course.

There were only 6000 copies, approximately, of the new first person shooter on board.

First an employee swipes a copy during the week and uploads it to the internet, and now, people are robbing trucks with new release games? ****s getting real.

My advice for Activision is to immediately create a map for Cod:MW3 in which you get to play as the robbers, loot filled truck and all.

Only, when you are just about to make away with your bounty, you are assaulted by soldiers and you have to fight your way out! Make the best out of a bad week I think.

So true. But I'm forced to wonder if in this day and age, the keys belonging to those copies won't be deactivated, or traced.
