Tabloid: $1.1 Million in PS3 Games Stolen in UK

According to British tabloid The Sun, nearly $1-point-1 million worth of PS3 games have been stolen, not once, but twice! The first time, cops in the UK spotted fake plates on a blue Renault lorry (a British term for a motor truck) with seven pallets of games including Grand Theft Auto IV and a staggering 16,000 copies of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. The police seized the truck in Leeds, then moved it to a "secure" compound.

Just hours later, before the cops had a chance to check the vehicle for fingerprints or DNA, the depot where the truck was being held was broken into and the vehicle driven off. The truck was found a few days later, but the games were gone.

Some of the games may have since appeared on eBay, resulting in at least a few preliminary arrests, according to the police.

Publisher Ubisoft (Brothers in Arms) was quick to react, reassuring fans that "more stock is being parachuted in."

Nuts.
