While there’s plenty of good news to report after a console launch, it never fails that there’s always something like this we have to report on afterward. A man was shot and killed while trying to purchase a PlayStation 4 last week and this week, two men were robbed of their consoles after they participated in a midnight launch in Gloucester.
Both men were aged 25 and 27 and the 25 year-old suffered injuries to his face during the mugging, while the 27 year-old was knocked unconscious. In order to help prevent future robberies and thefts of consoles in high demand, Gloucester police are asking people to park in well-lit areas and keep your journey from the store to your car as brief as possible.
