ST. PETERSBURG --
Police said a St. Petersburg man attempted to rob a convenience store using a Sony Playstation remote control.
According to reports, Cameron Pittman, 20, hid the game controller in his pocket and pretended it was a gun as he tried to rob the Sun Food Store on 62nd Avenue S.
He was arrested by a police officer who walked into the store in the middle of the robbery, police said.
Pittman was suspected in an earlier restaurant at a Subway restaurant. Police received a tip that Pittman might have been at the store, and so when the officer went inside, he caught Pittman in the middle of the act, police said.
Police said Pittman dropped the remote and gave up.
He is facing charges of strong-arm robbery and violation of probation.

:golfclap:
Moron of the week. Well at least he didn't use a PS3 move controller
Reality: Worst game ever!
Should have used the original xbox controller, at least you'd have a blunt weapon
Are people really this stupid? Like... really?
"Pittman was suspected in an earlier restaurant at a Subway restaurant."
... come again?
How dualshocking.
Looks like the playstation won't be the only station he's gone to.
Too bad it wasn't a PS3 Move. Then he could have said he was just playing the most intense game ever.

Or the store clerk would think he was gonna get raped :q:
Ban the PS3, it's controllers make people rob stores!
Looks like he had no game.

It is uncouth to attack someone with an antique.
Probably stole the controller.
:v: About 20 minutes away from me, hilarious.

Wait... what?
he could have tried to make sixaxis useful for something.
Damn could've used a wiizapper at least
Seriously a PS3 controller at least use a toy gun or something :doh:
PlayStation 3
it only does everything
I expected him to run into the store with a move controller bashing it on peoples heads like a mace :v:
I used to hold my PS1 controller as if it were a gun back when I was a kid
Ha, I posted this image yesterday for some kid who used a gaming cord to kill himself, looks like it will come in handy again.

Since the PS3 has no games he improvised! Wa-oh!
I played that game, it sucks ass
Now even the hardware you're meant to play games with makes you violent.
Maybe consoles need a r18 rating too.
