Video Game Hijack!

[3113]

Okay, which one of you gaming nuts is behind this?

One of this year's hottest video games got hotter last weekend, when highway bandits near the City of Industry hijacked a truck carrying more than 1,000 copies of "Rock Band" and the electronic musical instruments that accompany it, authorities said Wednesday.

The robbers kidnapped the truck driver and held him at gunpoint while they unloaded the cargo. In addition to the game disc, "Rock Band" features a drum set, a guitar and a microphone so players can pretend to be performers.

"We're glad no one got hurt," said Bryce Baer, a spokesman for Electronic Arts Inc., the game's Redwood City, Calif.-based publisher. "We hope these guys end up forming a rock band in jail."

The Xbox 360 version of "Rock Band" that was stolen retails for $169, making the score worth more than $170,000.

Last time I looked they were going for between $200 and $300 on ebay.
