How far are you willing to go in order to get a PS3 console? A Florida teenager was kidnapped at gunpoint, driven to Walmart and forced to purchase a PS3 for his captors, at the price of $299.99.

Two guys, one with an assault rifle, the other with a pistol, jumped out, drove him to his stepfather’s home in another gated community to steal some jewelry. Then it was off to Walmart with stepdad’s credit card.

There, the victim says one of his captors demanded he buy him a shotgun. But it being past 8:30, the gun counter was closed. So the bandits said they’d settle for a PS3 Slim, which the victim bought. They then set him free, and he went running to the law.

Pretty stupid. Yep, there’s one arrest. The trouble they’re gonna get from the law is not worth it. The PS3 is worth your money, but not worth getting your ass in trouble!
