So was that this story?

There's a picture on the page with a guy holding a phone book and a ps3 box on the floor, but I'm not sure if that's the guy who it happened to.
It looks like it was resolved though. This was at the end:
"Naturally, his parents weren't quite so amused; for one thing, it was their $500 that got dropped, and they had to wait until Wednesday morning to take it up with the retailer from which the system was purchased, where according to a spokesperson for the store involved, the matter has since been resolved."
starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3." 
Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"
