Follow the link for the rest of the story :)

[smokeymicpot]

They were probably playing GTA4.

[donator]

I would hate to be the police officer that called for the SWAT back-up.

[GrieverSoul]

Imagine if the SWAT had RAM the door, pop some smoke and shout ´´Get THE ++++ DOWN!!!``

They would probably keep playing saying,
´´Man this is one realistic game! Great sound effects!``

[Helghast]

Once KillZone 2 comes out, people will be arrested for NOT playing PS3

[Cwalat]

NOW THAT'S HIGH QUALITY SOUNDSYSTEM ! :P

[UNCyrus]

and their Atari, and their Zima, and their Dan Foggleberg

[Mr Bot]

funny incident

[Aaron Greenterd]

Little do they know that I was the one who called police....

Stupid ps3 gamers having fun for free....NOT COOL

[prunchess]

My lawyer\ solicitor would love this!

Sounds like the neighbour was just pissed off at the noise. The SWAT team should have brought the neighbour in too.

[InfectedDK]

HAHAHAHAHA!
LMAO!
nice one GrieverSoul

This is so typical in my country..

[Le Idiotce]

can have that effect on people.

ROFL.

[masterg]

They were not arrested.
After then police had searched the apartment and heard their story they were free to play again. Just at a lower volume.

I from Denmark and read the story in danish papers yesterday.

[InfectedDK]

True

[badz149]

dude, what happen to your bubbles??

[ProperFunked]

M$ payroll....poor guys =P

[BleuStreeks]

Yup I would have sued the swat team the neighbor and any one else that I could own. OOOO man my lawyer would have looooved this.

[pixelsword]

...so realistic, it makes trained Police Officers call for back-up.

[Jager]

LMAO.... i can see it now Cop: "Sh!t, SHOTS FIRED!"

[shqype]

Brought to you only on Playstation 3.

[da_hitman81]

only thing missing is that impact vest so you can truly feel the game LOL

OFFICER DOWN, OFFICER DOWN!!!! LOL

[Amnesiac]

There is no way that a cop who is on the premises would mistake surround sound for actual gunfire. Trust me, I target shoot a lot, guns are VERY loud, I've cranked my surround sound before, and it's never made my ears ring...

This is either a case of Danish Police being failtacular or the person who called in the complaint blew it WAY out of proportion.

[milkyway]

they were listening to that song made entirely from cod4 sounds!

[Hellsvacancy]

Now thats sum killer sound effects when ever i watch that movie i hav the volume up as loud as i can

[Zip]

SERIOUSLY! THIS IS NOT A JOKE! I LIVE NEARBY AND I WAS LIKE "WTF? S.W.A.T?!! " .... well that make me loose all my magic mushrooms tough =(

[Ryangp]

Waste of tax payers money!

[ultimolu]

Lmao.

That's just...lol.

[psthreee]

[blackbeld]

ooh boy.... PS3 Rules with good HIFI and HDTV.... :)

[demoneyeslaharl]

Damn...

Game so good that the police think it was real. Play Beyond. :P

[NabsterX]

I would freakin save before they got me, barricade my door and ish haha

[Raoh]

that would be one hell of an audio receiver and speaker commercial LOL

[Zip]

no its just the danish stupidity

er der nogle danskere med på linjen ? :P ....

[Hojlind]

ja selvf er der det :) har jo trods alt selv smidt historien op :P

its amazing how dumb some people can be but then again its a mad mad world :P

[Marci]

Når det handler om lille Danmark må man jo læse ^^

[Magic_The_Celt]

LMAO

[LarVanian]

LMFAO!!!
HAHA This is the funniest news I've read so far this year!
I do feel sorry for the two guys that were arrested though.
Its just funny how you can now get arrested for simply playing a video-game lol.

[Skynetone]

.

[Alib8000]

Sony should use this as an advertisement... Sounds so real, you get arrested.

[liquidsnake]

Hahaha I was thinking of the same thing.

[bviperz]

Talk about an excellent sound source. Hope they don't get charged criminally, maybe just disturbing the peace.

[ashwx]

dumb neighbours, if somebody was actually shooting, you could tell the difference :P

er også fra danmark, læste det igår på GR :P

[infamous_27]

No, The PS3's sound is so amzing it's hard to tell the difference ;P

[Bob Dole]

You'd have to have some serious speakers and amplifiers to compare to the sound of a real gunshot. You can definitely tell the difference.

[Cyber Gamer]

its either they used great speakers like B&W or the cops and neighbours was high as hell lol

[Zip]

hold da kæft! hvor mange danskere er vi lige her? troede fandme kun det var udelukkende amerikanere! smid mig på jeres psn: andre1986

we fragges ved =)

[theflyingfool]

this made me laugh so hard...
if only i had neighbors so my system could
get the swat team at my house

[Nihilism]

oh and funny story, i bet they were getting into the game thinking they were badass, eg. 'take that MF' and blow someone away in a game, *less than a second later*, the door splinters and they jump to see a swat battering ram smash the door and it's locks off and 10 armed people dressed like the ones they thought they just pwned in game come in and scare the shi% out of them

[macalatus]

...Jack Thompson is laughing like hell!

[cjflora]

Wow...I thought paying journalists to write "failure" stories about the PS3 was bad, but now they're getting people arrested? They will stop at nothing! LMAO...anyway that is pretty funny. I wonder if they were yelling "Hold on, just one more level" as they were being handcuffed.

[SprayandPreycom]

if you heard gunshots and porn the whole night from the apartment next to your room seperated only by two sheets of dry wall some people just dont respect there neighbors either way if swat does come out someone is paying the min 5k bill

[FAT_GAMER]

some thing like this happened to me when i played swat 3 on my pc,the level where u in the shop, and the level where u in the bank and if u fail the mission there is a big bang and the volum was on lound but only the poilce came not swat of i will be dead

[suitedcrs]

good story, but him hojlind ain't good at posting!

[Marci]

Well I can only agree..
Google translate is bad too :)

[kazan]

well well many will be arrested next month LOL

[VMAN_01]

Man I better keep my PS3 playing time on the down low didn't know you get busted for playing awesomness!

[caffman]

they might not have survived!

[thereapersson]

Looks like the PS3 really does do 4-D after all... :)

[RebornSpy]

The 4th dimension is time. How does that relate to this?

Those guys probably just had an epic sound system set up.

[thereapersson]

It's a joke, lol

I know what 4-D is

[RebornSpy]

I know you were joking, but it seemed like you didn't understand what 4-D was. My apologies.

[Keowrath]

PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN!!!

*Places Dualshock3 on the floor and slowly backs away*

Priceless!

[thejudeboy]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOL

[hanmik]

The reason for this "attack" by the Danish Swat teams, is that there has been reported a lot of gunshots in Copenhagen the last year. People are nervous, they are afraid that some "Biker-gang" or foreigner will shot them.. so when people hear gunshots from an apartment in Copenhagen, they call the Police right away..

But I imagine they were playing Call of Duty or some other FPS on the PS3, so it probably sounded like a warzone in the apartment, not like some gang-war.. so the neighbour must have been some old World War 2 veteran or something, if he thought it was for real..!

[thematrix1298]

They were playing Killzone 2 demo :-)

[SiLeNt KNighT]

this story would make an awesome commercial for sony!!

start out outside of a house with swat ducking and dodging bullets, when they ram down the door only to see two kids playing killzone 2. then...blaaauuumm, 'Playstation 3' logo pops up.
