Report: French delivery truck hijacked, 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 stolen

4.7
A delivery truck in Créteil, France carrying 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 was hijacked and stolen on Saturday by two masked people, French news outlets TFI and Ultimate PS3 reported. The truck crashed with a car, and when the truck's drivers exited, two people in masks tear-gassed them before taking off with the games, TFI said. The shipment was reported to be worth 400,000 euros ($551,000).

If you're in the Créteil area and happen to see two people in a delivery truck grinning like maniacs and most likely high-fiving a lot, you may want to contact the authorities. And everyone -- let's settle down. Modern Warfare 3 comes out on Tuesday. It's not worth jail time to play this one a few hours early.

Nice trying to start a flame war when you in fact never owned or got enough play time with any BF game you can't even compare the 2 just GTFO.

Some people need to just accept the fact that there is a release date and it's not going to kill them to wait. First the warehouse then this truck why not just break into a store while your at it.
unbelievable...
