i guess prison isnt all that bad then haha

fishd5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

They shouldn't let them play MGS4,or they will learn some new 'tricks' and soon we'll hear another story about someone who escaped from the prison with a cardboard box :D

RedPawn5053d ago

They could just fake out the guards with a bottle of ketchup.

Blacktric5053d ago

Harold and Kumar would be so happy if they didn't escape.

RedDead5053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

Would you take a co*kmeat sandwich to play the Ps3? Pretty sick but it just might be worth it

EDIT ::WTF http://www.therundown.tv/he...

Shang-Long5053d ago

sorry about all the caps. i got carried away lol

Winter47th5053d ago

So how many cardboard box tricks did they catch so far.

Barbapapa5053d ago

not if the're forced to play hannah montana.

justpassinggas5053d ago

I guess if you play video games while someone takes a monkey wrench to twist your testes makes the entire ordeal worthwhile.

Quagmire5053d ago

I would laugh my ass off if they were given a copy of Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. The IRONY!

But in all seriousness, PS3 was the only viable option. What grown-ass convict would wanna waggle with wii, and the 360 wouldnt last a week.

Darkstorn5053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

Well the PS3 (singular probably) console itself is in a minimum security area of the Guantanamo complex.

I think the guys who are (supposedly) hardened terrorists don't get the luxury of playing PS3 games. Their main form of entertainment consists of electroshock to the testicles...

Obama, spite the neocons and just close the damn place. Both liberals and conservatives hate it when you try to appease both sides.

RageAgainstTheMShine5053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

prisoners get to play on PlayStation3?

That should be made into a mandatory law!

This is one of the best things humanity can be proud of.

LiquifiedArt5053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

I think its amusing how each of you thinks you "Know" what is or what isn't happening in the world. I find it hysterical.

---- start ramble

Not a single one of you have the means to find out the truth regarding a prisoners innocence. Nor do you have any of the documents. Even if your lied to every single day, you have no means to prove otherwise. The same can be said about there being "nice people, who were wrongfully thrown in prison".

I'm neither for nor against it, because I didn't PERSONALLY make a call to usher someone into prison. If I did I'd have to weigh out my own personnal moral obligations and beliefs in conjunctions with the facts.

I won't say, "Glad they are in prison, terrorist Scum!" because I don't know what caused them to be put in there or what decisions were made that yielded that result. I also won't say, "They should be freed, down with America!" cause the same applies.

I will say that the "Muslims" who follow their koran hand in hand, espeically the scriptures on war and killing the enemy, make themselves the EASIEST of targets for OTHER evil men, who have a desire to control global finance. They are the best scapegoat the world has ever seen. What makes it better, is that they are completley OK with being a scapegoat as long as they get to do the evil deeds they believe in.

---- end ramble

So my ramblings are summed up with the following:

Your all internet and media nooblets, who have neither the privy to undisclosed information, nor the desire to go and put yourself into a dangerous situation to seek out said information. (if you were even able to attain it). Same is said for just about anything regarding global politics or even domestic politics. Are you willing to risk your life and families well-being to reveal the possibility of treachery in global affairs?

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
