Slimy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Given that these days, PS3s are selling on the resale market (e.g., eBay) for somewhere in the neighborhood of $800 or $900, someone in Japan stands to make a hefty profit. Asahi.com reports that on the evening of December 5, 180 units were lifted from the Meitetsu transport company's Ibaraki warehouse in Naka city (northeast of Tokyo), which should yield some serious dough, or whatever the Japanese slang for yen is. While this will only drive up the prices of PS3s in the short term (we hear 180 units is 80% of this week's production run), at least this good ol' fashioned theft was the type where no one gets hurt, or killed.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted December 6, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2006 we hear 180 units is 80% of this week's production run thats a little scary.. but it's still earily in the PS3 stages, i guess it will take another month or two to triple that production.
