VIDEO GAME STORE HELD UP

I’m guessing that the store the Brooklyn Paper talking about is Game Stop. What people will  do for an X-Box.  By Lilo H. Stainton.

Two men with a gun stole nearly $3,000 in video games and $1,600 in
cash from a Seventh Avenue store and left the clerk tied up in the back
when they fled on Jan. 7, police said.

The 21-year-old clerk said the pair wandered into the store, at
Garfield Place, at 10:40 pm. As they browsed the games, one asked about
prices.

“How much is the Nintendo?” he asked.

But the second man had other plans. “I want an Xbox 360,” he insisted.

When the clerk went to the back room to fetch the device, the thugs
swung into action. One blocked his return to the floor, with a gun
drawn. He grabbed the game, and several others. But before they left,
the pair forced the victim to the bathroom and tied him up with duct
tape.
