Sony Gives PS3 to Hero Kid


I have a headache and I'm too lazy to type but I still want to share something with you lot. So I thought I'd just copy and paste the news here (via gamingtarget):

You may remember our story about 9-year-old Matty Lovo saving his father, Matt Lovo, who passed out behind the wheel of his tractor-trailer. Carrying more than 100,000 pounds of weight behind him, young Matty took control of the big rig and called for help via C.B. radio despite never having been behind the wheel of a car.

Now, he can take control of a SIXAXIS and save the day virtually this time on his brand new PS3. Sony rewarded Matty with a system and some games for his quick effort, which saved him, his father and others who could’ve been seriously injured. Sony presented Matty with the gift at KGW, the local news channel of Oregon and Southwest Washington.

"Matty was so happy to receive his PS3 that he didn’t want to stop playing it at the station," said the SCEA rep who alerted Gaming Target to this news story update.

His father, meanwhile, expressed his surprise at the interest generated by the news. "We've seen this topic talked about as far away as the UK and all over the U.S. People like the story a lot," said Lovo, Sr.

So, you want a PS3? Go save daddy's life.
