Apparently some thief broke it and it was just about to head out the door before my roommate came down the stairs and the person bolted. I hope by some miracle this will get resolved and everything will work out, but that is probably unlikely. If only you knew the serial number of the console and could file a report at the police station or some pawn shops. Best case scenario is try to do some leg work and hope the Internet gets behind you and finds the jerk that did this. My PS3 nearly got stolen the day it was shipped to me.

I was in class and somebody stole my very nice bike. All I could think was, "This is how I get to school. This is my life." I feel the same could be said of your PS3: writing about it was the thing that made you happy, a goal you'd set for yourself. Somebody cut into your -life- to make a hundred bucks or so. Good luck dealing with the feelings of hatred; mine still haven't gone away - they pop up everytime I have to mount this shitty Walmart bike I had to buy (which isn't built for a daily commute) because I didn't have the money to replace my nice one. And good luck keeping up the motivation to write. I hope this doesn't prevent you from creating what could've become a prosperous game writing project. Eric,
