Stolen PS3 tracked via the PlayStation Network
August 11th - 35 Responses

After being injured on the job, Dustin Waller of Statesville, North Carolina was lucky enough to receive a Sony PlayStation 3 as a get-well gift. That was, until police knocked on his door and informed him that his high-tech gift was actually stolen and police tracked it through the PlayStation Network.

Turns out Waller’s fiance had purchased the PS3 at a local used-game shop in a mall, and after connecting online to the PlayStation Network using the previous owners account, police were able to begin tracking Waller’s IP address. We’re assuming Sony was kind enough to assist in the matter, providing police with the offending IP address.

Needless to say, the PS3 was confiscated, leaving Waller left with nothing to do but ask the used-game shop for a refund. What he got in return was a Microsoft Xbox 360, which Waller notes is not as expensive, or as sophisticated as a PS3. Yeehaw folks!

    What a well written post. I spend hours on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an unbelievable post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.

    Finally, I located the information I was searching for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for two days I keep finding websites that are supposed to have what I’m looking for, only to be disappointed with the lack of what I wanted. I wish I could have found your web-site sooner! I had about 30% of what I was looking for and your web-site has that, and the rest of what I needed to complete my research. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    There are many products out there that are used in hospitals for just the situation. Many can be purchased at grocery stores or Walgreens, such as Boost or Ensure (I think most places make generics too). You could try those, they are supplemental drinks and come in a variety of flavors. For example, I’m looking at a can of Ensure High Protein (Creamy milk chocolate flavor) right now and the 8 oz can provides 230 Calories, 12 g protein, 6 g fat, 31 g carbohydrate. Locate a Registered Dietitian in your area to find out about more specific products. For this one, you would need to drink almost 10 cans per day to maintain a 2000 Calorie diet. There are other products that come more concentrated so you get more Calories with less volume. You could also find out about adding Benecalorie (a product that you mix into drinks such as these that adds an extra 2 or 3 hundred Calories. If looking on-line for products, try Ross Nutrition or Nestle. If you get tired of all the drinks being sweet, try pureeing regular foods or soups. Yum yum!

    Aw, this is such a top quality post. Actually I would like to write like that as well – taking time and substantial focus in making a high quality article… but what could I say… I procrastinate a great deal and not appear to get things done…

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their problem in the first place.
