3. Please tell me SOMEONE SOMEWHERE was nice enough to donate their copy of gears of war to this guy for getting beat on by some stupid 36 yr old.

4. Sure, when he's 17 or older. This Deion character is a complete ass, and I hope he's soon on the recieving end of some vicious prison rape for his actions... But what was the store doing selling GoW to a 15 year old kid, and what was the kid doing buying it? Maybe they sell different Gears of War in Detroit than they have here in LA... but the GoW I bought is ultra violent (which is good) ultra bloody (also good) and ultra M-rated... which last I checked means 17 and older?

5. And isnt enforced for shit anyplace outside of some places like walmart, and even then them asking you for ID is spotty at best.

Just give the kid his game, getting whooped on by some (probably fat) sweaty psycho for simply being at the front of a line should be payment enough for him owning the game.

6. Hope he becomes someones bitch in prison. Its just plain dumb to pull shit like that over a game. Just wonder how the console releases will go.

7. In my opinion if a 36year old man is willing to pummel a kid for a game, maybe the man shouldn’t be playing the game in the first place.

8. Yeah... I'm 16 and Gamestop sold Gears of War to me no questions asked... Wait, actually they asked me to preorder Halo 3, that counts as a question...

Wierd, because last summer when I tried to buy Oblivion that same Gamestop denied me because I wasn't 17. I had to go to four different locations before I found a place that didn't ask for ID.

9. I thought you had to retire from gaming when you turn 30

10. That kid deserved it for picking on somebody older than him.

11. GoW is rated M. 17 or older. WTF?!

13. As some people of Digg have already pointed out, this screams fake. The original article's written crappily, doesn't really make sense and is unsourced.

14. This is fake. This was started yesterday by some kid in the Gears of War forum at xbox.com. He had this bogus CNN link that didnt work. I looked for the story and couldnt find it. Its just BS. Its a little entertaining story but total fake.

15. Yea, this just sounds bogus from the get go.. and besides, it sounds really familiar.. like there was a similar bogus story like this before over a game.

16. CUT HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF 15 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!!!!

17. Well, the way I felt today I would gladly pummel a 15 year old or perhaps even a small child for a copy. I was one of the unlucky "Memphis" debacle.

In relation to the article, it's sad that we as a society are so determined to get escape reality that we feel it's rules don't apply.

Either that or this guy just hit the pipe a couple times before going to the store.

19. Friggin punk nose kid gettin in the way of my gears of war... i would beat the crap out of him too!

20. If he's 15 hows he getting the game? surely he would have been there with an "adult", who should have been able to defend his scrawny 15 year old ass.
