SCEE to Replace Mugged Boy's PSP

The disturbing images of Ashraf Haziq being mugged shocked the population and have become iconic of the thuggery seen over the past few days. SCEE Marketing Director Alan Duncan wishes to help Haziq by replacing his stolen PSP

[a_bro]

yea, i saw this yesterday and i was completely in disgust of what i seen.. so messed up.

[Abash]

Very awful what the guy had to go through, and I'm glad that he'll get a new PSP from Sony

But I thought it was going to be a 14 year old or something getting mugged because they said he was was a "Boy". The guy is 20, and I'm 20 and don't consider myself a "Boy" anymore. They should of said it was a "Man" being mugged, it's much more appropriate for the age

[limewax]

Probably had a little bit to do with the fact the people who mugged him were older, yet you would never suggest one of them was a man in any way. All these riots are being performed by kids more or less, even the over 25s can hardly be referred to as an adult. But I say deal out the punishment hard, They have done more damage to the UK in 4 days than the IRA managed to in years, Its becoming borderline terrorism.

There's even talk of it spreading out into the smaller towns tonight, It was across 8 major cities last night. It's even being talked about coming to where I live now and our town is of no significance whatsoever

[sikbeta]

Good to see Sony doing something for the dude, added to what the whole riot cost to them already, hope the guy forget about that quickly, enjoy his new PSP, as for the douches, they must pay for the chaos they're causing...

[ChiVoLok0]

Just another way to get publicity. Oh well that's still nice of Sony to do that.

[WhittO]

^^ haha didn't even know I lost a bubble? :(

I put a '*' over the 'i' lol, guess you have to write it as d******d?

[gamingdroid]

I must be living in a cave or something, but what the fudge is going on over there?

Riot and anarchy?

[kaveti6616]

"the ban on bad language is based on the hypocrite morals of christianity. And N4G should be a religion-independent place."

You're wrong but I agree that language censorship should not be as strict on this site.

[SilentNegotiator]

"the ban on bad language is based on the hypocrite morals of christianity. And N4G should be a religion-independent place"

That is incredibly ignorant.

[jc48573]

I'm 27 and I'm used to people calling me a boy. I just pretend I'm annoyed, but I'm not lol.

[StbI990]

Yeah because a bunch a thieves beat you to blood, won't you like to be called anything but a man who should have defended yourself right?...

Boy = Male, thank you.

[JimRome]

You're still a boy, in my eyes. You're not a damn man, by any means.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

your still a boy abash, 20 isn't that old.

[pixelsword]

like someone pointed out, the PSP was still in the packaging: I hate to say it but in all likelihood, he probably was one of the rioters that got rioted on, to turn a phrase.

= /

[zag]

That videos is only of the second gang to come along.

He was bashed by another group that was 20 mins before this video, then these guys turned up a different gang and probably said hey we'll let you walk home etc, without bashing you if you give us something on you.

and PSP is given away as the guy turns and lets the guys open his bag and take the PSP.

The full video has it all it's from a person on facebook.

[HappyGaming]

5 or so years ago some thieves in london broke into my house stole my psp and left everything else :/

[Anarki]

Who reports for bad language, honestly guys? we're not in school. Don't like bad language, stay off the internet.

[Trunkz]

That's the Evil Malice of Humans, we suck...

[malol]

that's nice from sony

[jack_burt0n]

Awesome NEWS!!

Protect and support geeks and gamers world wide.

They should have called me to protect the enfield warehouse :)

But also as a londoner born and bred, this kind of violence happens quite alot, obviously not on the scale of the last couple days, but london needs long term changes in certain areas from the government so people stop killing each other for their iphones FFS.

[iamnsuperman]

I know right. It looked like they were goimg to help him but decided to mug him. Nice of Sony to do this. Lets hope the Police use there face and arrest them. Just disgusting. The only good from this whole situation is the emence support from other comunites helping clean up and showing support for the Police. I hope they catch them all

[Christopher]

He needed surgery after the attack alone. Ridiculous that no one even helped him get to a hospital.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol...

[limewax]

Well, to be honest its starting to come to light how deep these gangs run. All of the people around were likely involved. One of the guys they just arrested for being involved with the rioting gangs, He was a primary/elementary school teacher

[Miiikeyyy]

wow, he was here for 1 month, got mugged, bike stolen and got the hospitalized :/ Makes me feel sick. I'm so sick and tired of chavs

[BubbleSniper]

i saw this couple of days ago i think, it made me so angry...

[Quagmire]

Makes me wonder why civilians dont actually try and help the police and take down these wannabe-gangster assholes.

That video was absolutely sad. The man was clearly in pain and bleeding, helpless and alone, and they feel the need to go through his bag.

Fucking hell, what is the world coming to?

[SirBillyBones]

@Quagmire: Civilians did try to help and it resulted in 3 of them tragically losing their lives. http://www.guardian.co.uk/u...

That's in my city, London was worse. Check out some of the footage and you'll see how serious the events were, there's nothing civilians could do except clean up afterwards and identify as many people as possible in photos the police are releasing.

[SilentNegotiator]

That's nice to hear (that he's getting a new PSP). Poor kid getting taken advantage of by those sneaky little A-holes. I would have been furious if I were in the camera-person's position, because I wouldn't be able to run straight over from being at a high floor. I would have laid waste to these punks.

This makes my blood boil.

[Dart89]

Bu bu but Sony is evil pfft yea right my ass.

Glad Sony is giving this kid what was stolen from him when people do this kind of stuff it's sickening.

May god have mercy on these..you know what screw that let god punish these damn a$$holes for what they are doing.

[hilyou]

who ever disagreed with a_bro is a complete idiot thats doesnt hav a spine and is not human, how the hell can u not disgusted by this?

[showtimefolks]

i wish in my lifetime once we can all just calm down and all leaders of every country sitting on a round table and solve the issues without involving military or bombs because all that has ever done is take more innocent life than it has ever saved

peace and love between india and pakistan(i am pakistani)

peace and love between muslims and jews or muslims and israel

[mastiffchild]

If we can't have the love, though, surely we could have tolerance and respect for each other's belief(or lack of faith)and way of life.

Whether Jewish, Muslim, Indian, English, American, Christian or you practise Shinto or whatever why can't we just let each other live? It beggars belief when nearly EVERY religion AND common sense dictates we respect one another for the overall benefit. These riots in the UK have nothing to do with the initial shooting that enraged tempers in Tottenham and is the product of it being hijacked by crims who saw a main chance.

Good on Sony, though, I felt so bad for that kid.

[Quagmire]

Its hard for people to live together when there a crazy few on either side who try and ruin it for the mojority of people who actually want peace. Osama and his brain-dead taliban/al-qaeda clan did no favours to the muslim world by trying to cause havoc and chaos everywhere, causing hatred for the millions of the innocent muslim population.

It also doesnt help how the media feeds of these issues and blows them into such huge proportions it allows the general public to become brainwashed into thinking all muslims are terrorists.

Its sick. Its inhumane. But then again, what does it mean to be human these days, anymore?

[zero_cool]

im not surprised by this in the least considering our economy & living conditions are on a downward spiral this stuff is bound to happen & only going to get more worse from here on out.

[SirBillyBones]

Exactly. Anyone with even half a clue wasn't surprised by any of this. There's been a cloud of resentment and extreme unhappiness hanging over the UK for many many years. Over the past couple of generations morals have slowly eroded away and all we've done is laugh as we watch Jeremy Kyle.

[Mr Logic]

Like it or not stuff like this happens all the time and all over the world. Why should this guy get special treatment just because it was caught on video?

This 20 year old "boy" doesn't deserve a new PSP, not because there's something wrong with him, but because it's not fair to others.

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Sadly but true, and here in US it gets even worse at times >:l

I'm happy for the 'kid' and for Sony putting their grain of salt to help him 'get back up'

[khamvongsa09]

People don't seem to realize that.

[subtenko]

Nice one Sony! Other companys wouldn't do stuff like that but you stepped in out of pure kindness.

p.s. give hime the psp AFTER the riots,lol it would be f'd up it he got mugged again. Thats when Sony would sent their SWAT team a.k.a. Kevin Butler

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

[AXAXAX]

It surely is messed up - poor guy had no strength (or courage, which I can understand) to even react to it... I think this man deserves a VITA :D

[JsonHenry]

Thank God for my Second Amendment. Only people with a death wish would riot like that in most of our cities.

It is one thing to attack "the establishment" (building, smashing windows, etc..) but to attack your fellow man who has done you no harm is just no good at all.

Kudos to Sony for giving this guy a replacement. That is above and beyond standard customer support/service.

[Gray-Fox-Type0]

I think its good time to get of the flith from this world...no remorse. Slaughter the evil dump them in landfill no one will miss them. All those rapist, murderers , prostitutes, pedofiles the flith of society terminated.

[Gray-Fox-Type0]

Police shud use tear gas, water canons , plastic bullets , baseball bat whatever needs and destroy these people.

[BroGamer]

Its absolutely shocking. Poor lad was obviously dazed with his injuries and these hooligans just have no remorse stealing his stuff. Unbelievable.

[BABY-JEDI]

Just curious, who disagreed & why??????
Sad day when someone disagrees with the obvious. : (

[Ares84]

Probably those hooligans did from the video. Or someone who want's to be funny.

These people in England should be dealt with harshly. What they did in the video is shocking to say the least...as soon as those guys reached for the young man's bad they lost all of their human rights and should be treated like the animals they are.

[Lucreto]

This person should be the first person to get a vita. It disgraceful that this had to happen to him and lets hope these people are caught.

[BattleTorn]

great idea

[JoGam]

I agree!

[jocomat9]

I agree

[Godmars290]

Yeah, but who's going to break the knee caps of the bastards who took it in the first place? At the very least were they caught?

[Lucreto]

As far as I know they were not caught but I hope the video might help in an arrest.

[theEx1Le]

It was on the news earlier that they have identified the people who go through his bag.

[Lionalliance]

Oh yes! Do ya have a link for it?

[Northtouch]

Actually they managed to find out who ONE of them was. Not all of them or the guy that stole from the other guys bag though.

But now that they've cuaght one of them hopefuly the feds can interogate him enough to cough up who the others where.

[mastiffchild]

They seemed to know each other(the muggers) so the police will get 'em all now they have one. The courts are open 24/7 processing the rioters caught as well.

[Miiikeyyy]

They caught the guy who took the stuff from his bag

[OllieBoy]

That video really pissed me off. Those thugs are the true scum of the earth.

Glad SCEE is doing this.

[Kran]

Even after Sony lost a lot in that massive fire, they just keep on giving.

I know SCEE and the Sony building destroyed in Enfield are two different Sony things, but STILL!

[militant07]

too much to give a boy a SINGLE PSP that woud cost them less than 100$ for sure.

[firemassacre]

stupid muggers, the vitas coming out soon

[Gigglefist]

SCEE, glad to see there's some good in the world.
Had trouble watching the whole video through. Just horrid

[WhiteLightning]

Sony is great :)

Has anyone seen those Vigilantes going around kicking the crap out of these yobs, if you want something done properly you got to do it yourself.

I saw news footage of the Vigilantes protesting and there was a crap load of police surrounding the area, giving them a warnings and telling them off.....while down the road a load of yobs were destroying stores and there wasn't one policeman in sight.

The police are a joke, it's like they think "Oh the Vigilantes arn't going to do much to us so we'll make it look like were doing something so we don't have to deal with the hoodies"

[BroGamer]

On Monday night there was a mob of Turkish men guarding their neighbourhood and shops. Last night there was hundreds of men from the Sikh community guarding the temple in west London. There simply isn't enough police to stop these thugs. They will be more scared of regular people stepping out onto the streets in mass I think.

[theEx1Le]

3 men were killed in Birmingham defending their community, everything surrounding these riots is ridiculous.

[Optical_Matrix]

Disgraceful. The events over the past few days are an embarrassment to us who live in London but the whole of the UK. While I don't agree with what I saw here, I don't agree with the youtube comments either about how Londoners are horrible. Most of us are actually lovely people but it's the working class youth who've shamed our city over the past 3 or so days. Not the general population.

This guy deserves the replacement and more. I've never seen something so bad. The government issued a curfew to all area's effected yesterday and told us we shouldn't leave our houses after it gets dark. How can we be living like that in one of the most powerful nations on the planet. Hopefully it's resolved soon but the way things going the UK will have to adopt the Police State mentality for the foreseeable future, especially when the cuts come on....London's gonna be an absolute warzone.

[Fishy Fingers]

They should give him the first PSV off the production line. Maybe some self defense lessons too.

[Bladesfist]

Self defense againts 12 guys... Anyway props to sony for doing this, real nice of them and I hope the guy gets better.

[militant07]

he probably would have been killed if he attacked them.

[YourFlyness]

this is crazy, If the UK still had gun right like the US, these people could defend themselves.

[Fishy Fingers]

Or more than likely, the muggers would of shot just him. I'd rather lose my PSP than my life.

[zerocrossing]

Dude you think gun crime in the US is bad? Give us gun rights over here and it'll be a blood bath!

[andron]

If guns were prolific in these areas the riots could have descended into a bloodbath. More guns would equal more lost lives in this case, I think.

Just look at how few lives were lost. Guns would only have made the whole situation worse...

[zerocrossing]

Whoever disagreed with you is an idiot.

[Silly gameAr]

I agree, but people are extra harsh when it comes to these riots for some reason. I think they would welcome a bloodbath. Just read some of the trash some people are writing.

They're no better then the people rioting.

[mastiffchild]

Yeah, these people are bad enough having a penis or whom or the vote! Give them guns and they'd have way too much power! Their idiocy would be unstoppable. We can't tell just how frustrated, bored and hopeless the original kids rioting(before it became a chance for the burglars who fuelled the later riots)had become-IMHO they saw a power vacuum and were bored and disenfranchised enough to feel they had nothing to lose and no voice to be heard by a government and system that ignores them as they're either too young to vote or unlikely to anyway.

I can't excuse the kids who started it and definitely not those who carried it on looting but to ignore why this started would be just as daft as the rioting itself and you don't get this kind of thing for no good reason. I think people at the bottom, sick of being told to desire these consumer goods and having no power just had enough and hit back. Sad, stupid but the only explanation I have.

[BABY-JEDI]

Rolls eyes, takes a deep breath & wonders on the stupidity of Flyness comment

[Anderson8]

since when have guns ever resulted in less violence..

[NeoTribe]

They result in being able to protect urself from the harm of others and government tyranny. Thats why here in the states if are government goes postal we can kick there ass or die trying.

[tayz]

did those people beat the guy up first? is that we hes bleeding?

[SageHonor]

I think somebody already had beat him up. The looter just came there to search him. i think

[Shadow Flare]

Apparently he was on a bike and some yobs came up and pulled him off his bike, stole it and then beat him up. He was then lieing on the ground with a bleeding face when this happened. It's one of the most sickening scenes I've seen of these riots.

I find it ironic that these riots are coinciding with the release of the film The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Because all these yobs are just animals. Some of them, like the ones that mugged this man fall so far short of human morality,....I honestly think even apes are better behaved, to be fair on apes

[zerocrossing]

I still cant believe what I saw, taking advantage of that poor guy. This is exactly what's wrong with the world these days! Nobody seems to have any morals! I hope those thugs get what's coming to them.

[Getowned]

well actually a lot of people do but no one puts it on the news when some one helps a another person,the news is all one sided always showing the bad things,but in this case sony giveing the guy a new psp and some games thats great,but this is pathetic that guy is the lowest of low in all regards and also the fact that EVERY ONE just sit by and watched sickens me even more.

[J86blum]

That so sucks.. well shouldn't of been outside during the riots.. wonder if he was joining in to steal sony merch.. ahh that be to funny, and guess them street fighting games didn't help, though they are replacing it so thats cool.

Ok I feel bad about what I said but slightly smirking so im posting not carring if I get flammed.

p.s its cause he didnt have his fighting stick. HIYO.

[banjadude]

Poor guy :S. Damn muggers.

[kulex47]

I hope that they get what's coming to them, they should get a Free copy of the whoop ass the guy they stole shit from got, and then afterwards a nice complimentary side of gravy up the arse!

[Maester07]

You'd expect to see this in places like Somalia but London? It really shows the worst of society concentrated in pockets around the city. Get the army in before it's too late.

[iamnsuperman]

I know this might seem bad but look at te demographic (especially the ethnic demographic) and the areas with massive looting and theres your answer. I agree the army should bulk up police numbers but the will do no more than the police would do. The army can't afford to have a thugish appearence but need a well trained and control aggression look. Thats why the government are reluctent to send them in

[tarbis]

The police should be allowed to shoot to kill these guys. It would be more beneficial to the community as a whole than throwing them in jail while getting free meals out of the citizen's pockets.

[zinki33]

Unless the systems of banking and corporate elites want more of this mayhem, even elicit 'race' wars, to take away even more rights of the people for safety,.. It is really not that hard to teargas all the fuckers, now is it,.. It seams a bit strange for police to be so ineffective,.. They are actually thinking of getting displaced military involved,..

or simply to take the public eye off the total global financial collapse the whole world is facing (Europe and US in particular). Shit is getting really bad really fast.

[leogets]

this is why the riots started.cos the police shot a drug dealer and he died a couple days after.

[andron]

The morale is: If you are going to get mugged, make sure it's caught on camera...

Edit: Bad joke I know. But many people have lost their homes and all their belongings in these tragic riots. I'm glad at least this person gets his PSP replaced...

[Shadow Flare]

I've talked to people in the past who don't like the idea of having cameras all over London as they feel they're being watched. But this is exactly why we need cameras all over London and thank goodness we do. Justice will be done. Cameras would only concern a person if they were doing something unlawful anyway. Because of the cctv, so many thugs will and are being arrested.

[ChiVoLok0]

I think England is gonna have to get NATO up in there to stop them. I can also see thugs replicating this incident with eachother just to try and get a free PSP.

[mcnablejr]

anyone there should do their best to get close up pictures of all the rioters faces, ones that aren't covered up anyway, this will get them locked up.

[ndl1531]

dam f*cking pigs especially the coward who takes his stuff in the end . the government needs to be more aggressive. $hit shoot the bastards with rubber bullets or even real ones they are destroying peoples lives.

[Northtouch]

Couldnt agree more, these dick fucks have no morals, no ambitions in life. They destroy peoples lives and things that people worked hard for in life.

[Anderson8]

its all bad and needs to stop but bullets wont diffuse the situation.. as soon as rubber bullets come into the equation it will get worse

[omi25p]

The police should just be given machine guns with plastic bullets and not a stupid plastic shield and a stick. Then when all these chavs start getting really hurt we will see who has control over the citys

[tiffac]

There are too many innocent civilians in the way. I think they just don't want to risk hurting people even with rubber bullets.

I hope when these criminals are caught they are sentence to a longer prison time and not just community service or shortened sentence and age should not matter.

[omi25p]

The goverment has told people to stay away from the city centers. So anyone still there knows the risk but is there anyway, So that in my eyes means they are there to loot or riot.

[tiffac]

True^

Maybe the less use of too much aggressive force means less excuse of police brutality in court and that means less chances of getting away or less chance of reduce sentence. ^^

[GoldPS3]

Really disgusting. Thank God for cameras.

[RockmanII7]

It's been said but props for Sony for looking out for it's fanbase and hopefully a quick recovery for Haziq.

[Northtouch]

If it was up to me, i'd have the feds shoot all the rioters in the legs. Flesh wound the fuckers, doesnt matter how young. They dont care what theyre damaging? We wont either. Simple.

And as for that fucking prick who stole the stuff from that guys bag, i hope he gets skull fucked to such an extent that he'll start to cry and wish he was aborted.

I live in London (Tottenham in fact), and u cant be soft on these kind of people, words wont do anything u gotta be rough on them, just be cuatious cos' i'd say %60 will be carrying knives.

This is a terrible thing happening in London and the rest of U.K.

[Squall_Leonhart]

Well said bubble for you!

[Acquiescence]

I hope that chav that made off with his PSP is caught and dealt with swiftly. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Fair play to Sony for replacing his console.

[MaximusPrime]

i already deleted one PSN buddy i known for over a year. Why? he seems to "commend" riots via twitter. he had an argument over another twitter guy (who's also my PSN buddy).

I totally am disgusted at these pointless riots. It made me sick

[cyclindk]

Ooooo that little effer walking away with it and his cute "I'm a baddas$" walk... What I'd like to do to him, what I'd like to do...

[mafiahajeri]

He did it so casually and then acts so tough what scum...

[mafiahajeri]

Good one sony those bloody chickens ganging up on a kid hope they get whats coming to them...

[leogets]

The goverment should bring in Massaki Hatsumi.

[Daniel_Williamson_35]

Watching this was absolutly disgusting. Im just so happy that Sony will cheer him up with a brand new PSP.

SCEE really looking out for the fans :) Kudos.

[Ace_Man_6]

It's a very ncie gesture, but it's a shame no-one can pronounce his name…

[tigertron]

Maximum respect to you Sony.

I'm appauled by what has happened over the last few days, its really embarrasing for us aswell. Hopefully the police will be allowed to use rubber bullets and shoot these scum bags.

[sickbird]

Brits...riot over a cop shooting someone then harm other people, that makes sense.

[SephirothX21]

If you wanted to make the 100th comment I feel bad for you son, this article had 99 comments but I've just added one. Mug me!

BTW, this is good pr for Sony. Fair play to them.

[B00M]

Saw this when it was first shown, horrible. England is in a f*cking mess right now. Thankfully the cops rules of engagement have been relaxed lately, so the looters and rioters are getting hit hard. For example :) http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Tone]

Bloody Neds/Chavs .. they should all be sent to boot camp or forced to do national service and learn some damn respect!!

As for myself.. i am glad all the crap has not started here in Scotland.. they would not get away with all that crap up here.. the locals would start jumping on their heads!!

[cheetah]

The most disgusting image of the riots. That guy who stole the PSP is the lowest form of humanity.

[xtreampro]

Ashraf Haziq is currently being treated at London Royal Hospital according to a lot of social networks.

I hope this helps.

This is a Malaysian student who has just come to the UK for his first year in University and then this happens because of those lowlife scums, and on top of that he was fasting so obviously he didn't have the energy to fight back. What makes you think he'll like to stay in the UK any longer after this? These idiots have ruined the countries image.

What do you think his parents back in Malaysia are going think once they see their son being beaten up? He worked hard to get to where he is coming to the UK to further his education to have a better life and these heartless ass-wipes have to ruin his first year for him.

I pray to go that he has fast recovery.

[JKL6939]

stealing from an injured, is like taking candy from a bay. how low can you go.

[yojimbo_slice]

PURE. SCUM.

[KMCROC]

Am not a spiteful person but i hope the asshole who took it get's hit by a truck while playing it outside, won't help the victim but it would make me feel better knowing that prick is dead.

[Half-Mafia]

ive seen this on the news alot, makes me so angry. how can you steal something from a injured person. i hope all the people who stole from that bag rot in hell.

[Pikajew]

They should give the kid a Vita when it comes out

[CanadianTurtle]

Assholes like these are the reason I started taking Kickboxing classes. I really wish I could've been there to do something about it and help the dude out

[deno]

what is wrong with this generation of teenagers? Godless society.

[slutface]

karma always catches up to people...hes gonna get his!

[SlaughterMeister]

When I was watching this on CBC earlier, I was thinking this would be a good idea.

It would be awesome if they gave him a Vita when it comes out, too. The kid's only been in Britain a few months, it would show a nicer side of Europe.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

Those sick fuckS deserve TO FUCKEN DIE!!!!!!!!!
how the hell you going to do that to a young boy???
damn I wish I was there to beat the shit outta of em all.

[BIGBOSS08]

did you see how the guy walked off like he achieved something? seriously even an axe to the brain would be light punushment to these scumbags. they need their brains boiled.

[ForTheFallen]

That's pretty decent of them considering they just lost a plant and had that huge loss of money recently. Pretty decent indeed.

[BIGBOSS08]

nice to come to N4G and see that there are normal humans around.

[qwertyz]

this was obviously a PR move. you think they care about the boy ? nope they care about their companies image and they knew that replacing that boys psp would help improve the companies image so they did just that.

why people on here are riding sonys d*ck over this I do not know sony didn't do it for free they had something to gain in return which they got and that is, better public image.

Those guys should be killed though, stealing should be punishable by death.

[pijinio212]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...SEND THE ARMY IN THERE WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR....

[PickAShoe]

Sony respect boost from me :D

[belac09]

thats awesome! good job sony!!!

[Bolts]

LOL!!! Obviously the 20 years old Asian male is considered as a "boy" by the press. That explains a lot about the JRPG genre actually.

[Chevalier]

"Just another way to get publicity. Oh well that's still nice of Sony to do that. "

Hey they're doing a nice thing that's all that matters. Plus didn't Sony have a huge facility there get burned down by stupid rioters? 1000's of people at that Sony facility are out of jobs because of these retarded people. I hope that everything turns out alright for everyone regarding this senseless violence/looting. I wish all the best to the peeps over in the U.K..

[Idree]

That's a top class gesture by Sony.
Even though Sony lost a complete warehouse cause of a fire started by looters.

Helping other victims of those looters is a great way to show your support.

RESPECT ;_;

[MasterCornholio]

Those muggers are real aholes. Nice that Sony replaced his PSP but this should not have happend in the first place.

[StarWolf]

i wish i was rich as hell so i could fly over there and search for that guy and use a bat on his knees and hands. Hopefully someone does something similar that lives over there.

[aussieracer]

I'm starting to agree with the Rockefeller's view that the human population needs to be reduced. I know where we can start... with those animals.

[HurstDarkStar]

sorry sony does not care about this man" they saw a good opportunity to look good and did a damn good job.Only fools believe businesses love or care for them!
poor guy at least he got a get well gift :D

[violent80sarcade82]

Very harsh punishments required in this country. I'm talking "I really better not commit this crime or this hideous punishment may happen"

But that won't happen. The far left has too tighter grip on the idiots who are supposed to be running this place.

If the government would step in with military force, and kill, yes, murder, each person who thinks they can live there life in this manner, I really don't think anyone would care. This is fucking sick. Life like this, doesn't deserve to be lived. They just add to the social pollution that is the corruption of morality. I'd gladly take the death sentence if I could just be granted the chance to off a few of these sick fucks.
