Mainichi Daily News reports a theft of 9.5 million yen's worth of the next-gen systems from a Tokyo-bound shipment.

A total of 180 PlayStation 3 consoles have been stolen from a freight forwarder's local office in Japan, reports the Mainichi Daily News.
Was it desperate gamers...or Yakuza?
The Meitetsu Golden Aircargo Co. called police at approximately 6:50 p.m. on the evening of December 5 to report that the consoles had been stolen. The PS3s were part of a shipment of 1,560 due to be distributed to retailers in the Kanto region of Japan, including the Greater Tokyo Area, Gunma, and Chiba. At around 1:30 p.m., an employee checked the consoles and found that 90 of the boxes had "disappeared."
Sony's PS3 launched in Japan on November 11, with an initial shipment of estimated at approximately 80,000 units. A string of crimes has dogged the console's release in the US, including a robbery in California, muggings in Oregon, and the shooting of a man waiting in line in Connecticut. |

Forget gambling, smuggling drugs, or the sell of illegal alcohol. Its all about the next gen consoles now. |

ROFL. I WANT A YAKUZA MOVIE ABOUT THIS!!!
I can just see it now. They find the delivery truck driver at the bottom of the Tokyo bay, followed by a bust involving sword fights. Or, if directed by Takashi Miike, a bazooka, and then a kamehameha that blows up the planet. X)! |
