Be proud: PSP saves man's life |
Ó
The following is the sad story of a businessman from Louisville kidnapped, beaten, and tortured by two others in a motel room in West Knox County for nine days. But like they say, there's always a glimmer of home no matter how tragic and that hope for the said businessman was in the form of a PlayStation Portable.After the local police and FBI agents have solved the case, it became known that the businessman Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia was another victim of the "Mexican mafia" who have been perpetrating similar crimes against fellow Hispanic citizens in America recently.
Ortega Garcia reportedly suffered both mental and physical torture from Jose Sanchez and Juan Gonzales as the assailants forced him to write numerous checks totaling approximately US$ 27,000. The following is part of the report filed by FBI Agent Buddy Early:
On June 21, Gonzales gave Sanchez a handheld video game that would prove to be Garcia's savior...
Sanchez played the video game virtually all day that day and much of the night. Garcia used the distraction as an opportunity to loosen his bindings. When the exhausted gamer fell asleep, Garcia bolted, running from the room to the hotel office, screaming, "They are trying to kill me..."
Suspect Sanchez's thumb print was recovered from a PlayStation Portable hand-held video game box recovered from victim Garcia's car...
The suspects were nabbed in Houston on a federal complaint filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Stone.

amazing yet stupid.
wow, psp owned the bad guys XD
stories like these where an ipod can save a soldier from a bullet or a psp can distract a kidnapper enough for an escape always bring a smile to my face...
The PSP games are so crappy, they can make ANYONE fall asleep from bordem. God bless boring games.
After reading the first paragraph I thought he was going to use the PSP's web browser and the free wifi that most hotels provide to email for help...That's what I would have done.
Of course how he would have gotten the PSP from his captor in order to use the email function I don't know. That's where he would have had to get creative.
i thought he used the Wi-Fi
sadly, in mexico. Wifi is not all around town :S just in some places sadly. but least it helped him!
buen trabajo wey!
true my friend, you're very right yea ;))
Funny how the kidnapper was able to play with the psp for that long a time...
Must have been loaded with homebrew
There are some games for PSP that are frickin' awesome:
Loco Roco
Crush
...That's all I can think of right now.
Spicks beating a mexican, wheres the mohow love?
spicks thats soooooo ooooollllldddd lol
There's Breath of Fire III too...
Either he had that, or it has FFVII/IX loaded onto it.
I have to tell you, that's not very professional for a kidnapper.
I bet Jack thompson will say that the PSP turn people into kidnappers +D
wow so the guy just fell asleep playing a game
hahaha yes!! lol i totally agree
So the guy never fell asleep except for when playing the psp?? 0_o
and what has the Zune done so far?
LMAO
it was loaded with mexican pr0n
It doesn't say anywhere in that article that it was a PSP.
its hard to believe, but sometimes happens
yes it does....
"Suspect Sanchez's thumb print was recovered from a PlayStation Portable hand-held video game box recovered from victim Garcia's car..."
Spread the happiness. ON playasia, the psp's gps is finally on sale!! If you keep delaying, now would be a good time to buy it, with all the new homebrew including Deniska's 3d mode.

No unhacked PSP could possibly be interesting enough to play for more than a couple of hours. He must have had Custom Firmware on his and that mafia bastard was playing some addicting Lua pong variant at the time his victim rushed out the door and made him look like an as.s :)
He played the God Father or a GTA title, Mafia style:p
Or LocoRoco, then I can understand him that he falls in sleep:p
The PSP is strong in EVERY case, not only the technical side:p
freepspdownload s.co.nr free games and movies iso cso pass i on
What the iPod does.
It just sells less because people like to hate MS
For all those wondering the game he was playing was actually GTA liberty city for the psp... Wow I can't beleive that pspupdates misses such vital information, better research better...
I guess it could save lives.. or get in the way of your mafia crimes...
I would have used that glossy black brick to club that fool into the next dimension.
the mexican mafia and the aryan brotherhood for a long time were allies, although there is alot of tension and race riots between whites and southsiders all over cali prisons. If the mexicans combined the nuestra fmailia and the eme (mexican mafia) than they would virtually create one super gang and rule the entire underworld in cal iand texas and arizona.

That line isn't in the original source article though
Oh you must feel so sad MCS, you're "hated" and part of the minority... Get over yourself and crawl out of that M$ pitying hole you wallow in. Seriously
Zunes is a counterfeit ipod....just lik many other hardware from M$. just stik to making windows less buggy m$
DS hasent saved any1's live and it probably never will DS SUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!111111
I need to get my hands on whatever game was in the psp.............some day..........it could save my life...........if only we knew..........
Yeah Bob, you're right!
Final Fantasy can get anyone to fall asleep if they're bored enough to play such filth.
No, Zunes are not counterfeit ipods.
Zunes are well made media players for an affordable price, while ipods are overpriced "stylish and easy to use" bull***** which most people are stupid enough to buy.
STFU
i bet u he was playing gans of (london) mexico hahahahahahahah
lol
HAR HAR. You're retarded.
The DS could probably save people from Alzheimers with games like Brain Age & Phoenix Wright where you actually have to think.
As for the psp I could actually play it for a whole day if I could find some decent competition in Portable Ops.
Mexicans are so friggin stupid mutherfckrs
1. i thought he used the wi-fi to
2. in the original article it says NOTHING about a psp or playstation portable
nice try QJ but this isn't PSP news. they must be desperate
it's weird that hand helds saves lives like this while the consoles destroys some (ps3, xbox360, hell...even wii)
Zune+iPood
PS3 doesn't destroy lives quite the opposite with Folding@home
I was talking about the craziness that was the ps3 release that destroyed lives, but I am not a hater, I still want a ps3...only if they released FFXIII and MGS4 a sooner I'd buy one.
thats some crazy stuff...wow
i thought it would have been something like he used it to send his family or police an email or something
I just found this site they're giving away free rapidshare premium accounts check it out http://www.freerapidaccount.com/free/?r=609934
Nice one...maybe having a tracking or GPS system on my psp would be nice..Ü
I wonder wat fw he has?
medal of honor heroes is the best game for me so far.
And they´re friggin lazy. No wonder this beaner slept during a kidnapping. *****
im mexican.... but the hole story to me sounds like a big *****...
either it is a joke or real stereotipes exist...
i mean... the names are... "juan" "Jose" and "ortega"... the most steriotipical names even here in mexico...
if this this ***** really happend .... that "juan"... its a dumbass...
Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/ezymoney you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

Not really sure how to respond to this. Something you have to shake your head at
Alzheimers doesnt make people die, it just makes them forget things
Shut the f%u03C5ck up ! You're using a refferal link. Guys, DON'T CLICK IT !
at the beginning you forget some appointments, but when it gets nastier your body starts forgetting how to use the lungs, heart, kidnes, eccetera. Do you honestly think it does not kill you?
hahahaha the kidnapper probably at custom firmware playing a illegal iso of gta and the FBI found out and he is now in jail for kidnapping and in possesion of a illegal iso
He was probably drunk and tired... The PSP was about as important as a pencil. Wow... PSP saved the say
I thought it was going to be ab out the prisoner using the shininess of a polished PSP to send blinding light into the capturer's eyes.. now there is a story!
he should of modded his psp to fire out umd's at 400 mph lol
ya know that is amazing....Sony made somthing amazing but they wont *****ing let us have what we want... we dont just want UMDs....ohh noo we want moooooooooore THOSE *****S NEED TO GIVE IT UP ALREADY!! They will keep on perfecting their PSPs and WE WILL KEEP HACKING THEM!!!!!!!
