Two men try to hide stolen games in pants, resell them at GameStop
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Two men from Russellville, Arkansas were arrested on Saturday in connection to the theft of 114 video games. Markique Collins, 24, and Thomas Dixon, 25, stole the video game merchandise by hiding three to four games at a time in their pants. Stealing video games has been an ongoing activity for the two since December 9, 2008.
Det. Bobby Stevens of the Russellville Police Department testified at a bond hearing on Monday and said that Collins and Dixon stole about $6,000 worth of video game merchandise from Hastings Books, Music & Video. By concealing products in their pants, sensors were prevented from picking up that the games were being stolen. The two would go home and remove all security devices and stickers and then go back to GameStop to sell them.
A former employee of Hastings (who now works at GameStop) had been able to pick up on the situation. His store was receiving quite a few games from the two men and noticed that a sticky residue remained where Hastings typically places its stickers. Following this, the Hastings store was able to find video of the suspects stealing video games. Both Collins and Dixon have admitted to their wrongdoings. District Judge Don Bourne set Collins’ bond at $25,000 and Dixon’s at $10,000. The two men have been strictly warned to stay away from Wal-Mart – where they were arrested from criminal trespass not too long ago – in addition to Hastings and GameStop and Wal-Mart.

High Voltage considering preorder bonus for The Conduit, wouldn’t mind an M rating for the game, more
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
As if there weren’t enough reasons to purchase The Conduit. High Voltage Software Chief Creative Officer Eric Nofsinger spoke recently about a preorder bonus for The Conduit. Though he was unwillining to commit to anything specifically, Nofsinger did say that High Voltage is “thinking about some” perks for preordering The Conduit and that “details are still being ironed out.”
Nofsinger also commented about a few other details relating to the game. First, as we have heard before, there will be pretty significant advertising for the game’s release. Gaming tours, billboards, commericals, GameStop kiosk demo discs are just some of the ways that the game may be promoted. Additionally, though High Voltage is shooting for a “T” ESRB rating, they won’t really mind if it ends up being rated M. Lastly, the developers are working heavily on the audio-side of The Conduit and Nofsinger states that High Voltage is “going to out do every game on the platform in terms of audio” and that “it will be at the highest possible quality.” Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
