This might be the first PlayStation 3 robbed in the city. A man who bought a PS3 yesterday morning was stopped by a man on Third Avenue who threatened him with a silver gun. The Daily News reports that the PS3 owner, who had just purchased the game console at a store on East 86th Street, found a patrol car and the cops managed to catch the robber. It turns out the thief used a cigarette lighter as his "gun."
While some shoppers are being targeted after buying the PS3, in one instance, a would-be robber was stabbed by the PS3 owner in Indiana.
