Gaming nerds in the line of fire...

Those of you who are not of the gaming persuasion or anything related to it - such as a “techie” or another nerd-related species - will not know what a PS3 is… However, this hard-to-get device has caused some distress and violence in the pursuit of it. I have never and will never be that interested in spending such amounts of money and time only in the attempt to get one, but when these poor geeks are attacked in such ways, I take pity on them and wish them a more fulfilling life outside the world of games and BB-guns…

One guy describes his experience in New York City here: http://boards2.sega.com/sega_board/viewtopic.php?p=1589076#1589076

Also, luckily for these guys from Arizona, they knew to come to quiet and safe Ridgecrest to acquire their PS3’s: http://www.ridgecrestca.com/articles/2006/11/17/news/news02.txt
