When reading this Kotaku post, I was thinking WTF?!

If he can afford an xbox, headset, a monitor and a wifi modem, why can’t he afford his own internet connection?

Apparently, this guy took his xbox, wi fi modem, headset, and even his monitor, and sneaked the stuff into the library. He used about 20 minutes to set the system up, then played one of the porpular shooter games online (according to kotaku it was Halo, COD or Quake), using the librarys internet connection. He tried to hide it by sitting with the gamepad between his legs and have a news paper covering.

We don’t know the reason why he did this – maybe his internet connection were closed or down? Or maybe he just like to live on the edge. Anyhow, he got kicked out 2 minutes after he was set up… was it worth it? Don’t think so!!

Admitted. The day I heard Sony had the Ps3 on it’s way, I was tempted to pre-order one. One thing stopped me – the price. Not that I didn’t understand the price – the machine was the cutting edge technology, topping the Xbox360 by miles, if you compared the hardware – counting in the Blu Ray player, that at the time beeing, did cost about the same as the Ps3 itself. Compared to that, the Ps3 was actually cheap, and Sony lost money at each sold console.
