Update: Son, 9, saves dad in runaway truck, Sony GIVES him a PS3

SwiderMan | September 06, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 
As was reported earlier, a 9-year old boy Matty was able to steer and cotnrol the runaway truck carrying more than 100,000 pounds to saftey saving the life of his father. He wanted an PS3 in return, and now he has one, however it wasn't his father that got him it, but Sony themselves. Now he can use a PS3 controller in a much safer environment.
9-year-old Matty Lovo saved his father, who passed out behind the wheel of his tractor-trailer. Carrying more than 100,000 pounds of weight behind him, young Matty took control of the big rig and called for help via C.B. radio. Now, he can take control of a SIXAXIS and save the day virtually this time, as Sony rewarded the brave boy with a PS3!

    Its nice to see stuff like this. You never really realize how much attention a company gives to the media. It looks like the little bugger also got a nice library of games too.

    See this is the reward of being a hero. Im glad his father didn't get him one, cause he just got a free one from a great company called Sony.

    I bet he pushed the car. Hey, for a machine that'll play Guns of the Patriots, I'd do much worse. I'm going to start a fire.

    That's a great reward, and a grateful thing for Sony to do, heh. Saves himself and his dad, and his dad saves $500 xD

    lesson here: save someone and ask for a game console. That is the value of a life now. That is Soo much cheaper than $500! I should have found someone to save before making my purchase
