I guess the PS3 really does do everything. Not content to be a game device, a Blu-ray player, and everything else Sony markets it as, the PlayStation 3 is also a handy tool used by police to crack into the computers of suspected pedophiles and hang their kiddy-porn-loving arses out to dry.
Cops traditionally have used $1,100 Dell PCs in order to crack the passwords of computers they seize under a search warrant. The computers would be used to run through the near 282 trillion possible six-digit security codes available and crack into the PCs of pedophiles like they were delicious snow crabs.
However, cops have now discovered that they can use videogame consoles in order to perform the same task at a fraction of the cost. The PS3 is considered by cyber crime agent Claude E. Davenport to be "perfect for large-scale library attacks."
Although the Xbox 360 is said to be capable of the same feat, the PS3 was chosen because cops could install Linux on it. So yeah, the PS3 now sends pedophiles to jail. Great stuff.

Wouldn't a 12 year old with a crush on a 12 year old still be considered a pedophile?
That said, I can't say I really agree with the stigma that every Live user is a pre-pubescent kid. Sure, there are a decent amount of them, but I'd still say the majority are at least like 16.
Seriously, this could be a selling point.
ZING!

THANK YOU! I've been PO'd about alot of pedophilia laws for the longest time. Mainly because the girl is almost always considered the "victim" but no one investigates how many of these girls are going out of their way and literally asking for it. Not that it excuses the man but you know how many 15-16 year old girls I know who go our and purposely hit on 20-30 year old dudes? A handful. Which is sizable. It's not all the time that someone is pressuring these girls. A 15 year old girl isn't fucking stupid. She knows what she's getting into and she wants it. Then they get busted, the dude gets villified, the chick gets victimized, dude gets prison, chick goes and screws some other guy.
Whew. Rant.
I've seen it happen time and time again. Bunch 'o attention whores.
Or just outright whores who sleep with whoever.
Mainly cause my 17 year old ex did that kind of stuff. Needless to say after I found that stuff out she could sling her hook.

You put Doug Stanhope in my head, and he can't get out.
13? Well the Spanish have always liked 'em young.

Yeah I had a similar situation this summer with girl who I was honestly attracted to. She wanted us have sex so bad but she was only 15 and I was like "Woah, woah, hang on there bulldog." Especially because her parents already didn't like me because of my orientation and stuff. If they found out I was gonna eat shit.
I stopped believing that ALL of these girls were the victims when my friend's cousin had a 15 year old girlfriend who already had genital warts. She was just that much of a raging whore.
Though what's worse is how he found out.
Girls are like multiplication... if they're under 13 you just do 'em in your head!
2nd worse) What'd the deaf, dumb and blind kid get for Christmas?
Cancer.

I do remember something about PS2 being used to guide missiles back in the day.
seriously remember how PS2 back then could be somehow used to launch missiles?
i remember buying PS2 for the sole purpose only to remember that i dont even have a missile silo
but seriously PS3 has been on the news concerning crime a lot lately..few days ago it was with the kidnapping, and then there was a while ago about being sued by a "blind" guy for not catering to his needs, and i remember a few as well back then just like a year or so after the PS3's launch...
i think PS3's marketing campaign is not getting it right lols..thats why i love my PS3 youll never know what your gonna get
