Well, looks like one big bill...

Might be true, but if his parents had $1400 to pay his ransom, then I don't think being strapped for cash was an issue. That, and he must have had a tv if he was asking for a wii. ]]>Aug 1st 2008 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 2nd 2008 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/

Don't be an idiot, the Wii is great for when its snowing out and theres nothing to do, but in the summer, go out and play, meet girls, hang out with friends, party.. etc. Don't just consume yourself on the Wii.

Yeah, no sh*t Sherlock.

I guess I should put a "j/k" or a ":-)" or a "/sarcasm" tag just for you.

Shame that theres so many people like you, thinking one sided and being arrogant as always, i suggest changing the attitude as a word of advice before you get banned for good.

Apparently, Engadget editors need j/k tags, too. They could even add them themselves, with their mighty "edit" feature that makes them closer to ruling the world much more than you could ever be, but that would first require them to accomplish the incredible feat of understanding the jokes in the first instance.

"DADE CITY -- A man police say shot his neighbor over a missing Playstation 3 was arrested Wednesday night."

"The latest report of violence over the Playstation 3 comes from San Francisco. It seems Hani Attia was killed on Monday for doing the right thing. Attia was a witness of a man trying to steal a PS3 from two women who were attempting to sell it to him. Attia confronted the man, got into an altercation and was stabbed. He was announced dead at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital."

"A Cal State Fresno student from Hayward shot three men -- killing one -- after getting in a fight over a video game console [a PS3] at an apartment near campus, police said Tuesday."]]>Aug 1st 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 1st 2008 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 2nd 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 1st 2008 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 2nd 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 2nd 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/Aug 2nd 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/wii-deprivation-drives-man-to-kidnap-himself/2.
