He is probably the America’s stupidest PS3 reseller. A man in California was mugged by the 2 men who had agreed to buy his 2 PlayStation 3 systems over Craigslist.com. The victim, a man in his 20s whose name was not released, was assaulted with pepper spray and robbed of the coveted consoles. He met the two men around 1 a.m. at a McDonald’s restaurant on Moody Street and Orangethorpe. And then, the one of the buyers sprayed the victim with pepper spray, and took off with the consoles. The suspects are described as men in their 20s. The victim said that he had advertised the consoles on Craigslist.com, and was trying to sell both items for US$5,000. PS3s retail for US$500 or US$600 per unit. Watch the video here for more details.

The Wii launch has gone smooth in comparison to the recent PS3 launch. During the Wii launch, there were no police, no people being trampled, and no one running into a pole in a rush to get their console. Guys from Nintendo are clever enough to allow everyone into their launch festivities, and provide demo stands that set up on the sidewalk, to stop fan’s boredom.

At the Toys “R” Us in Times Square, the first Wii buyer Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson (pictured), was apparently wearing the old Nintendo Power Glove when he was greeted by Reggie Fils-Aime, who presented him with his signed console, as well as playing some Wii sports with some of the people in the crowd.

Overall, the launch appeared to be a big success for Nintendo, with plenty of units on hand for those who waited throughout the launch event. For those who did not have one of the necessary wristbands to buy a console, Nintendo promised that there would still be plenty of additional consoles available today.

In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s “Devil Bringer.” This new feature has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system’s advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.
