    Germany's movement against violent videogames has lunged forward again, as families affected by the Winnenden school shooting urge people living near Stuttgart to dump their "games that simulate the killing of humans" - "Killerspiele".

    The Aktionsbündnis Amoklauf Winnenden will place a container outside the Stuttgart state opera this Saturday in the hope people will heed its call, Eurogamer Germany reports.

    How does one go about rummaging through that container of discarded games? There might be something good in there.

    I agree with Freek from the comments section, Lets get them to stop playing violent video games and get them into gambling, that'll solve the problem.

    I need a ticket to Germany. Then a shovel. Then a jumbo jet to carry the millions of videogames they threw away that I 'reclaimed'.

    You can actually win a kit of the German football team if you throw your games into that container. But still those people are crazy. Living in Germany sucks at least concerning videogames.

    Yeha well the reward is not really that enticing.

    Amber streams from Sol
    Are not unlike the waves of the sea
    Nor the endless horizon of ice

    Yeha well the reward is not really that enticing.

    Have to wonder what they're going to do when gaming goes the way of the PSP GO, and everything is digital.

    Proud owner of:

    PSP Lite

    PS2 (Version 7)

    Nintendo DS (currently broken)

    Have to wonder what they're going to do when gaming goes the way of the PSP GO, and everything is digital.

    Knowing Germany's cencorship regarding videogames with violence in them, this doesn't surprise me.
    And anyone wanting to go there just to get those discared games, unless you know German then don't. They Dub everything in Germany, even Chuck Norris.
