While PlayStation 3 thieves busy themselves punching women in the face, an Xbox thief in North Carolina breaks into a medical center and steals multiple consoles meant for children recovering from cancer.

...

After seeing the story on Kotaku, EA has contacted the Carolinas Medical Center and will be replacing the consoles and supplying them with new games. From an EA spokesperson:

"This story really struck us at EA. We can't believe someone would do this right before Christmas and victimize kids recovering from cancer no less. We've made contact with the hospital and EA's going to step up to replace the Carolinas Medical Center's consoles before Christmas and hook them up with new games as well. Hopefully this will brighten up the kids' holidays. Thanks for bringing this story to the attention of the industry."

+ rep for EA man

People really can be b******s, how inconsiderate and low can one be to steal from a medical center?

Notice that it wasn't a Wii.
Nintendo fans aren't insane.

Thieves are gonna read this and think they've just struck gold. that hospital is like the hen that lays the golden egg

Too bad they're probably supplying them with EA games.

I don't understand why they would steal from a hospital...at the same time though, how could some dudes walk out with several consoles like that? In any case, I've always considered EA a strange company. Truly a powerful video game company, and they deserve it with some good games they've released (Dead Space, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Battlefield and Rockband). However, they've also been an insult when it comes to sports franchises. Can't believe people suck up and spend 60 bucks a year to buy the latest Madden. I'm really glad they canceled NBA Elite after 2k11 kicked their butts hard. If only 2k could get their hands on football now.

Anyways, great story nevertheless. Definitely give props to EA.

This is sooooo true. EA is pretty much completely horrible.
