Huh? Did people actually think that? That some robbers assaulted a truck just to get their hands on Uncharted 4?
I really have no idea.

They did. Death toll was off the scale. Many many guards needlessly killed and all for a video game
Not cool at all, smh
Probably didn't know it was on there but once they saw it decided they could make a quick buck off it. And like I said didn't people steal amiibo off a truck a while back?
But yea violent assault. Hope everyone is ok
Did they know it would be u4 inside though?
Hah was about to reply to your unedited post but I see you had a change of heart...
No, it was a typo, haha.
I read it back and thought "Wait a second, that makes me sound like a douche". Question mark in the wrong place.

I doubt it. Like most games, I expect it to be out in SA sometime in the next week.
If they're committing a serious felony, probably.
Well, the whole violent assault part rather changes the feel of it from some sexy Oceans Eleven heist where a few lucky charmers nabbed some copies, into the more dirty and depressing reality of, y'know, a shitty crime by shitty people.
Naive ever to think otherwise, obviously. Also makes it easier not to be tempted into getting scalped.

No, because there is no way they would risk jacking a lorry for something of that low value. Probably thought it was full of TV's or somesuch.
Definitely.
It's drained my desire for an early copy severely. I don't want to support organized crime.
What a shit situation.

And that someone received it today and I assume, is enjoying every second of it (as he should).
Dude, if this was organized they would know full well what would be in that lorry. But they didn't, it was just a bunch of chancers. If people want to do good then don't buy from fences like Cex.
The problem is that you would be giving the criminals a pay day by paying for a stolen copy
Depends, if I don't buy directly from the criminals, I don't consider it to be giving them a pay day.
If it's in the UK, it's stolen. Retailers don't have it yet.
It seems like UK stuff might be stolen, but obviously copies we've seen from other countries are legit.
What stores have broken dates?

I love it when things don't go as planned, so this is awesome news to me.
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
EDIT: I didn't see the part about the violent assault. That is not cool. I think that goes without saying, but I guess I need to be explicit.

Asia as well according to another user, he wasn't specific about from where he is.
The violent assault... is awesome news to you?

At this point I'd still buy an early copy even if it's stolen.
The thirst is real.
The thirst is real.
And I'm not shocked at that. I'm sure the usual places that you see break street date will have it available
Wtf dude. A delivery driver just trying to do his job got stuck up in a "violent assault".
A quote from a GCSE set text doesn't make your comment any less vacuous.

It wasn't stolen. It was robbed. Some poor guy had a gun shoved in his face as a bunch of fuckwads emptied his truck of goods.

Everyone who bought these copies on ebay supported criminals. Must feel great to play the game now.

Awww man, there was a shipment stolen? violently?
That's fucked up.
Although, when people are willing to go this far for your game I'm sure the creators are looking forward to opening week as much as everyone else

nm.
How do you know you're not buying direct from criminals if it's via eBay?
If you're buying from stores etc, fair enough.

It wasn't just U4, there were other goods stolen as well.
I'm sure violent crime doesn't make Uncharted in 1080p any less fine.
But man does it spoil this whole thing for me. It went from a capitalistic Robin Hood story to "Oh, a bunch of pricks committed a violent crime, stole goods and are making a tidy profit".
Fucking ruined.

Got a real guilty laugh out of me
Tbh I don't think they are too happy.
To be fair they didn't know
Apologies, but if you had seen the earlier posts you'd understand how your comment could come across as callous.
