I used to work in retail and let me tell you thats very possible, thieves are crafty and know the stores policys in regards to shoplifting very well, add in the fact that they put the demo stations out of the way of normal store traffic and with a resonable easy shot to the door, I would think it would be very possible

To have the game early with everything (or almost everything). You never know when it was "stolen". It didn't have to just happen.

Yeah, it may only be 15 demo songs, but maybe they have the real game on pre-order and just wanted to have two of all the peripherals (only to get home with the stolen goods to remember there's no bass pedal for the drum kit:D).

Also apparently they got a free PS3 out of it too...

More of a punishment than an incentive, IMO. lol. Now don't go and start any fan-boy war, anyone, please. I'm not against the Sony, almost all of my audio technology and TVs are Sony, just the PS3 is severely over-priced for me at the time being.

how do you figure you throw in the hd player (can you say beta max) then you need a dvd remote and your rite up there with the ps3 price plus the ps3 does a whole lot of things that the x box 360 cant do. so apples to apples the ps3 is better bang for buck. xbox just has better librairy witch if you remember was horrible for almost ayear and a half after its release

like i said have fun when you get the red ring of death and have fun being leashed to your system
nothing personal but it gets old always haveing 360 owners on here say how thier system is so much better than the ps3 and yet dont even have 1. i on the other hand own both and was just stating that the ps3 does a lot more and cost about the same. and is very dependable i have had no issues yet unlike my 5 now 6 xbox 360's

The PS3 is a over-priced piece of **** oven.

It still has no good games out AT all.

And the ones it does, are multi-platform and run smoother on the 360.

Get over it, you wasted $500-600.

i have not had a major issue with my 360 yet, no I don't own a ps3 i will one day im sure but theres nothing I want to play on it right now. you were the one who started the argument by claiming the ps3 to be superior and then I offer my opinion and you call me a tool, so im assuming you are the only one who can have an opinion.++

Are you really on your 6th xbox either you abused it or your exagerating to make your argument better but I kinda doubt that.

I really don't get how people can say that the ps3 is over priced... Its got wireless controllers out of the box and you don't need to to pay extra for a chargeable pack. The ps3 has blu-ray, and yes that can be counted as a feature the 360 doesnt have, HDDVD doesnt have as much memory. And the online is free, I know its not the best but its free and i share my ps3 with 3 other people so if i had an xbox i would need 4 live accounts. HOW could anyone call the ps3 an oven when the 360 is known for overheating and malfunctioning. My friend has a 360 and he just sent it in his 2nd time in a year because the video wouldnt show on his TV, and no it wasnt a faulty cord... He tried a new cord and it didnt work. Im not bashing the 360 cuz i think they're bad ass, but why do you need to bash the ps3?

I typed this whole thing on my iPhone, that's bad ass too. :D

probably shouldn't have said anything, now we got a bunch of Fanboys going at it again

lets get back on topic here. I'd find it kind of hard to see someone just walk off with the demo kit..... without someone noticing

I have a MAJOR issue with mine.

Every time someone opens the door to the room that has my XBox in it, I get the three rings. How ****ing stupid is that?

But I've played the PS3, and I've come to the conclusion that XBox 360's are better and PS3's cost way too much. Mines just a piece of ****.

Hot damn, you're ignorant. It's overpriced, but definitely has good games out. The fact that most of those games are multiplatform does not detract from the fact that they're good, and, in addition, since Gamespot disagrees with you and says that the cross-platform games run equally well on both consoles, I'm gonna have to go ahead and believe those guys.

Heavenly Sword is also a fscking amazing game, although it's short. Lots of people also enjoy Warhawk, Motorstorm, and Resistance. There are valid reasons to bash the PS3, notably price, but games ISN'T ONE OF THEM ANY MORE.

I bought my 360 about a month after it first came out and I have yet to see any red rings...

But enough fuel for the fire.

I'd like to know how someone made it out of wal-mart with all that equipment! Methinks it was either Ocean and his men or some Olympic sprinters. lol :P

It's not really a matter of which system is better. It's which system has the more games that you enjoy.

Anyways heres waiting till this topic is locked.
