Yeah I agree, not sure about this.

What an awesome story if it's actually true. I have my doubts.

Can you turn on the PS3 with the PSP?

Just like Reservoir Dogs!

I agree...I mean, would a thief really steal a PS3 and go home and setup the camera??

and I also agree with Mobe1969, I use my PS3 eye to chat with my family in florida...and the picture is close to horrible on most occasions. Unless youre up very close and have the right lighting.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. If this is really true, what a story it is.

I thought this the first time I read it thru

Called the police and they quickly recognized the person!!!!

How convenient

Seriously though, I hope it's true, but it is the internet after all.

crackinhedz · 12-22-2009, 12:52 AM

now, if he would have said he got the IP address from the thief's location...would be more believable.

with my digital camera readily available I took a picture of the PSP screen with the thieves face!!

...an already bad picture from the PS3 eye,then he takes a picture of the 4.3" PSP screen??? ...and the Police instantly recognize the thief?!?!

WOW.

PS3-Playb3yond · 12-22-2009, 01:18 AM

Real or not, it's a hell of a story.

He should have posted the guys face when he took the pic lol.

TL OWNS U · 12-22-2009, 01:37 AM

SUCH AN EPIC STORY. I SO NEED TO POST THIS ON 4chan (don't judge me)

GamerPS3-X360 · 12-22-2009, 02:36 AM

Thats some stealth tech ninja shizzz right there and pretty moronic thief...GAMERS FTW...

Psybits · 12-22-2009, 03:04 AM

yup..pretty far fetched

but none the less not entirely impossible

chemokidd · 12-22-2009, 07:06 AM

hahaha that is great!

that was a funny story, glad he got his things back

kefrank · 12-22-2009, 05:33 PM

I think there's about a 0.000001% chance of this being true.

IStoleYourUsername · 12-22-2009, 06:59 PM

That is one TALL story. You're going to have to post some proof on this one sonny.

Scan in the Police report, some pix...something.

IStoleYourUsername · 12-23-2009, 04:12 PM

It's been almost 24 hrs and no response from the OP....hmmm...fake story.

He doesn't have to prove anything to you. He was posting a link to a thread on another forum. He never said it was true, and it's not even his story.
