Thief steals PS3, owner gets it back with PSP/PSeye - Blu-ray Forum

Amazing funny story

Quote:

So this past Wednesday Dec 16th somebody broke into my apartment while I was at work and stole about 24 ps3 video games, 45 ps3 games, 52 snes games, all of my consoles including my PS3 and components including a PS3 camera. What the thieve didn't know is that I had my PS3 connected to my PSP. As some of you know, once you hook up your PSP to your PS3 you can remotely control your PS3 through your PSP through a local or internet connection. I tried every day, every hour to see if by any chance the thieve connected the PS3 to the internet, surely on Friday Dec 18th at around 11:30pm I was able to turn on the PS3 from my home by using my PSP using my internet connection. I opened a chat room, turned on the camera and surely enough I got to see a close look at the thieves face! (probably looking at it wondering why the PS3 had turned on by itself!!!), with my digital camera readily available I took a picture of the PSP screen with the thieves face!! Called the police and they quickly recognized the person!!!! LONG STORY SHORT, I GOT MY PS3 WITH NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER AND ALL OF MY GAMES WERE RECOVERED!.

that's awesome!!

ratandjmt · 12-21-2009, 08:13 PM

Guess I need to connect my PSP just in case.

DeathByAsh'aman · 12-21-2009, 08:14 PM

Thats awesome.

Mobe1969 · 12-21-2009, 08:15 PM

I wonder if it is true. Sure you can get a pic remotely via PSP but it is so tiny - that open chat trick won't even give you a full screen picture. Unless they were really really close looking at it you'd be hard pressed identifying your wife on it

Rike255 · 12-21-2009, 08:16 PM

LOL that's hilarious!

Call me a cynic, but that seems like an awfully perfect story. Almost as if it's written by someone at Sony. It would be amazing if this were true (and I'm not saying it isn't), but it has the makings of the kind of story you see on snopes.com.

KingBing · 12-21-2009, 08:35 PM

I love happy endings

jono_0101 · 12-21-2009, 08:36 PM

thats hysterical, i can see a guy sitting at home when his stolen PS3 just turns on by itself, that has the makings or an awesome horror/comedy movie!!!

Rblu-Dblu · 12-21-2009, 09:07 PM

If that's true then it's an awesome story. I'm a bit cynical about it though.

Snake_XRS · 12-21-2009, 09:12 PM

The thief was thinking, "Oh snap, this PS3 has become self-aware!!"

Good for you, I love this story. In a fair world we would be able to have about 10 minutes alone with thieves like this. Them tied to a chair, and us with one blunt instrument or edge weapon of choice.

LuHouse · 12-21-2009, 10:52 PM

hahah what an awesome story. does sound a bit like its too good to be true though.
