Neighbor calls the SWAT team on two guys playing PS3

Posted Jan 12, 2009 at 3:07PM by Glenn M. Listed in: PS3 Tags:

Thinking it was the sound of actual gunfire, a concerned neighbor in an apartment in Copenhagen calls the police to sort it all out. Now this isn't your regular patrol man lazily knocking on the door clutching a doughnut on one hand - they sent the SWAT team who called the guys out on the street with a megaphone.

As it turns out, it's just two guys enjoying their PlayStation 3 on a flat screen and speakers on full volume.

Now they didn't mention what exactly it was that they were playing, but we know for sure that these guys, a 21-year old and a friend, were even arrested with the suspicion of shooting - all because their home entertainment has phenomenal sound quality. Their apartment was searched, but no firearms were found, so they were released later. How's that for sound quality?

well the neighbour is probably 89 year old woman, with ***** hearing anyway

so i doubt with sound quality comes into it

# i hope the neighbor — StingBlah 2009-01-12 11:02

dies in a fire.

That's how I'd feel if some b*tch calls the cops on me and has me arrested while I'm playing PS3. Nobody interrupts me when I'm gamin'.

# lol — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2009-01-12 11:31

hahahahaha.....LMFAO!!!

# ... — Silver-Tiger 2009-01-12 11:33

Behold the sound quality of the PS3!!!!

# cod4? — lee123 2009-01-12 11:33

i played it round my mates house and he has some sick surround sound and it sounded well cool

but then again the guy who called the SWAT is an idiot, shooting machine guns and throwing nades in an appartment lol

# WTF! — ISOHaven 2009-01-12 11:39

Gotta love the uncompressed audio of the PS3!!!

# lol — AJoshX87 2009-01-12 11:51

# Yuh crazy yunguhns! — ChrisGoldammer 2009-01-12 11:52

With yer pants an' yer music an yer noise and newfangled technology!

Confounded....tomfoolery!

# I live in Denmark — LooM 2009-01-12 11:59

hehe, I live in Denmark, and I find it very surprising that this has happend.. We hardly see/hear anything about gun fights.. and as for 'swat'.. It's hardly as heavy as you think..

Anyway it's good to know they do react to a concerned fella of the society.. (I'm quite sure they don't have anything else to do, the 'swat' that is. :))

# haha... — Shatterdome 2009-01-12 13:04

Yeah, there were probably excited that they got to put on their gear, ***** their guns and ride in the cool swat wagon...

# ahaha — Visigoth 2009-01-12 13:37

would be even funnier if they just breached the doors and jumped in thru the windows... i would ***** my pants if that happened to me while gaming on the couch ahaha

# LOL! — NarooN 2009-01-12 14:59

Yeah, neighbor, tehy really did have an epic standoff with explosions and high-powered assault rifles in the apartment!

# ... — Darkthunder90 2009-01-12 16:32

The funny part was that the police actually arrested them and took them outside.

# BFBC? — superjake 2009-01-12 22:35

Could be Battlefield: Bad Company. That game's got some pretty realistic sound effects on there!

# More than likely... — SPKuja 2009-01-13 05:44

I agree with you there, it probably was some dithering old fool lol

# PS3 larger than LIFE — houaruto 2009-01-13 06:54

its seems so real you can almost touch it, taste, but for sure you can hear it as if you were standing right next to all the action

# lol — reeferandsumbud 2009-01-13 10:39

id egg that b*tches house.

# wait... — grimmer190 2009-01-13 12:36

You can actually call the SWAT to come and check something out? I had no idea @_@

# $ony — NakedFaerie 2009-01-13 22:14

I bet this is the next ad from $ony.

"Scare the neighbours into thinking your shooting guns its that lifelike sound quality" HAHAHA

# ... — hakk3r 2009-01-14 02:45

No, I'm pretty sure they just sent the SWAT because of the fact they called about shooting.

# socom — milo128 2009-01-14 04:22

its probably socom as thats the only ps3 exclusive with realistic shooting.

# one word — Rickey123 2009-01-14 09:35
