Fancy getting punched in the face for a PS3?

Linkin Park Fan | August 29, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 Misc

Some people just don't know when to draw the line. After an argument stirred between teenagers over the ownership of a PlayStation 3, it then got violent. The four individuals beat one of the others to the ground, and then repeatedly kicked him while he was down. The boy suffered a broken bone in the face and other facial injuries.

The police are still on the look out for the attackers. This what happens when fanboys get violent.

Even the most die-hard of fanboys would draw the line at taking a knuckle-sandwich over their favourite console. Sadly one young man in Greensburg, Pennsylvania had no choice in the matter. A manhunt is currently underway for four individuals who allegedly beat another man because of an argument over the ownership a PlayStation 3.

The 18 year-old victim, who has remained nameless, suffered a broken bone near his eye and several other facial injuries after one of the assailants punched him in the face with brass knuckles and then, as he lay on the floor, kicked him repeatedly.

Police Captain George Seranko said the victim approached a gathering of approximately thirty men before being attacked, “[He] wanted to know what was going on. The next thing he knew, Fabiszewski (one of the men implicated) punched him.” Police are appealing for any witnesses.

Haha, I love a good beating. Brass knuckles makes it even sweeter.

Ok, malicious moment over. Hope the guy heals up good, that sucks.

I'd get punched in the face for a PS3. Assuming it's free.

I would not get punched in the face for my own PS3.

I would not get punched in the face for a chance to buy a PS3. *I'd go somewhere else *

I have to agree with Final Blade, but I would NOT like to get hit that hard. That would be horrible. I'd be staying away from them for the REST of my life.
