So apparently a fella in St. Petersburg, FL, (hey, this is far more tasteful than the other Florida crime that's making national news) decided he could rob a place by sticking a game remote in his pocket and pointing it like a gun. It would have worked, too, but police walked in in the middle of the robbery. They think he might have also robbed a Subway, though I'm not sure if that was at controller-point.
Oh well, at least it wasn't a Sega Menacer.

Oh come on, you guys. Be nicer to the poor robber. It was a Sony Playstation 3 controller, right? This guy sees Sony get away with robbery everyday so he must have thought that robbery was legal now. Cut him some slack.
