Nine year old boy hero gets PlayStation 3 direct from Sony

Matty Lovo Jr saves dad, gets PS3 as reward - Image 1Remember little Matty Lovo Jr. who saved himself and his dad last month when he took control of a runaway truck? You know, the little boy hero who asked for a PlayStation 3 live on CNN after the incident. Well, eventually Sony got wind of the 9-year-old's story and decided to give him one.

Matty's dad, Matthew Lovo Sr., was given a lot of offers from folks who wanted to pitch in and give the boy his PS3 but declined while thanking the community. Eventually though, Sony offered to give a console as a gift, and Lovo Sr. agreed. Matty Jr. was given the console on KGW in Oregon last Wednesday.

Kids may say the darndest things, but sometimes it just pays off. Big time.

"he should have wished for some games to play."



So everything is just a joke to you? Why did you buy a PS3? If you hate it so much why don't you get rid of it? This boy has saved a persons life and all you do i making biased retarded statements about the PS3. Besides the PS3 is doing better than the Xbox 360 did in the beginning and that's why you're desperate.

For f*cks sake QJ, why aren't you deleting comments like his?

He asked for a PS3 for saving his dad...that's not right...

Thanks, but Im fully aware of and abide by the rules here at QJ. Ive been a member for almost two years now, youve been here, what, a month, two months tops? If anything you should read those rules again. At least my original comment was on topic with the article, all your comment seems to be is a flame directed towards me.



And why would I be desperate over anything to do with either of the consoles? It isnt my money riding on their respective futures.



Well, better luck next time?

» nah..

nothing wrong with asking for a PS3 for saving his dad... I mean, it's not like the kid is asking for a PS3 in EXCHANGE for saving his dad. lol. Just a little reward...



Kudos to the Kid for what he did! He deserves that PS3!!

man give the little dude some slack!

» As I was saying

The boy and his father pulled of an elaborate scam. Thats why he greedily asked for a ps3. FFS you aint no hero if you do good deeds then demand a reward.



True heroes do it because it makes them feel good inside.

» Good kid.

Should have asked for MotorStorm, would be kind of fitting.

by TestamenTT - 2007-09-08 06:25
» Great kid.

I don't own a PS3, but this kid sure as hell deserves it.

by spicyhamster - 2007-09-08 06:39
» @DDC

you're right man. he should be happy with the fact that not only is his dad still alive, but so he! he was in the car too. but really, i dont know if i think he should have gotten that PS3. as soon as he opened his mouth to ask for one, his deservedness (i hope thats a word) went down the drain. just be happy w/ what you've got!

No matter what you say, he kinda owned you in that post.

That is an appaling thing to say the kids just saved his dads life and deserves what he gets irrespective of which console is better. Totally uncalled for GROW UP!
