"Stealing videogames..."

We all know stealing from people, no matter how rich, is bad (apart from Bill Gates, that is); what about stealing from companys and corporations? They can afford it. Is it okay to steal from my local GAME store? They have CCTV and gaurds, it's fair play. What about my local Gamestation? I ask because the prices we are expected to pay are higher now than in the hayday of videogaming; it's un-fair. Anyway, this is a bit random but I've gotta be in town in half an hour and I wanted to see peoples responses tomorrow.

I think i need a course in stealing anybody help me?

Or just pop it into a foil lined bag, and walk out without any probs!

:)

The easiest store to steal from is HMV. All the cds are in the cases but they have security tags. If you can get the security tag off, it's plain sailing. Some are in cardboard sleeves so just push case from out of sleeve and hey presto! I've heard...

That's just rubbish... inflation hasn't been that dramatic :D

Now on a serious note... GBA SP released at £90... you can get the GBA bnow for £50-60... is a Lithium battery and a light really worth £30?

There we are being ripped off.

That sounds too amateurish. My plan also involves a flight of stairs and a getaway car.

Run in, grab, run out?

I have long masterminded a plan to steal from Virgin Megastores in Stirling, it would have to be dvd's or music that you take though, i think those are about the only things that arent just display cases.

Consoles are DEFINATELY getting cheaper. Sega Saturn was launched at £500, the Gamecube at about £150. A clear difference, no?
