Tell me why? - I don't like the PS3

What happens when a bored Xbox 360 fan has time to spare and permanent marker?

You get a load of defaced PS3 game cases with 'PS3 sucks' written all over them.

It appears, from several sources on the 'net, that a young man took it upon himself to take the flame war into Toys R Us and was caught in the act of defacing PS3 games with a permanent marker before being stopped by store security who then called the police.

Attempts were made to contact the lad's parents but they were out, so he was taken into child services. When asked why he did it he is purported to have said he was an Xbox 360 fan who hated the PS3 and was bored... which I guess doesn;t say much for Xbox 360 games if going out, graffiti-ing boxes and getting arrested is a better way to pass the time...

He got bored waiting for his console to get repaired.
wow, he certainly has a lot of respect for the competition. Also, the incredibly sad and lonesome individual turned to vandalism when he got bored. Well done :)

You get people posting things like this :P
Oh dear, just goes to show people really do take things that seriously. I feel pity for him but I think it is the internet geek generation, unable to express themselves in normal environments where views tend to be normalised by not wanting to look like an idiot ranting and raving.

Its like when footballers move between teams, that brings out the worst in some fanatics.
lol - what a numnut's :p
