Forums - Gaming Discussion - PlayStation really doesn't do everything... i.e. robbery

source

A man was recently arrested for trying to rob a convenience store with the use of a Sony PlayStation controller. He had kept it in his pocket, pretending that it was a gun while attempting to rob the store. Unfortunately for him, there was a police officer who walked into the store in the middle of the robbery. Apparently the policeman was tipped off about the robber’s presence, and the robber was a man the policeman was looking for.

 

Imagine his surprise when he caught the robber in the act. The robber dropped the controller and gave up when confronted by the officer, but that didn’t make things any better. The robber was still arrested and is now facing charges of strong-arm robbery and violation of probation.

It is unclear what sort of PlayStation controller the robber was using, after all if it was a PlayStation Move controller that was shaped like a gun, as opposed to a regular PlayStation controller, it would probably be the difference between the robber being the laughing stock of other criminals in jail or just another robber who couldn’t afford a gun and settled for a toy instead. Can you imagine being threatened by a regular gamepad? Oh, the horror!

I guess you can chart this up the list for false advertising?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

the ergonomics of the PS3 controller is so good i dont know why they dont model an gun after it. 

anyways, whats next, robbery with an keyboard and mouse. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Maybe he played so many shooters he began to believe it really was a gun. That is what we call the insanity plea.

 

He would have got away with it if he had this...

Still would have been pretty hard to explain the blue ball coming out of his gun.
