You know your video game is a hit when people actually fight each other to get their hands on it. Sadly, this is exactly what happened between a 36-year-old man and a 15-year-old. Apparently, this event took place at a Gamestop in Detroit. The store was selling out Gears of War very quickly and when the last copy was sold, the villain of this story couldn’t handle it.
Instead of waiting it out like most of us, he took it to the next level by punching the kid who received the last game. Unfortunately, the teen ended up going to the hospital. On the plus side, the lunatic who went berserk was arrested. Believe it or not, they don’t let you play Xbox 360 in prison.
Come on Microsoft, forget the fact that he is under the age of 17 and GoW is rated Mature. Buy him the damn game so he can heal in peace.
