[quote]Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has threatened to go on hunger strike for better video games to alleviate his "torture"-like living conditions, in a letter received by AFP Friday.
The right-wing extremist -- who killed 77 people in a bomb and gun attack on July 22, 2011 -- enclosed a typed list of 12 demands sent to prison authorities in November.
He described as "torture"-like his living conditions, in the high-security unit in Skien in southeast Norway where he serving out a 21-year sentence.
The demands include better conditions for his daily walk and the right to communicate more freely with the outside world, which he argues are in line with European rights legislation.
He also demanded that his PlayStation 2 games console be upgraded to a Playstation 3 "with access to more adult games that I get to choose myself".
Held apart from other prisoners since 2011 for security reasons, Breivik argues that he has the right to a wider "selection of activities" than other inmates to compensate for his strict isolation.
Breivik also wants his standard weekly allowance of 300 kroner ($49, 36 euros) to be doubled, particularly to cover his postal charges from written correspondence.
Other demands include an end to daily physical searches, and access to a PC rather than to a "worthless typewriter with technology dating back to 1873".
In the letter dated January 29 he said that since there has not been any real improvement in his prison conditions, a hunger strike would be "one of the only" options at his disposal.
"The hunger strike won't end until the Minister of Justice (Anders) Anundsen and the head of the KDI (the Norwegian Correctional Services) stop treating me worse than an animal," he said, adding that he would "soon" make public the starting date of his protest action.
On July 22, 2011, Breivik killed eight people in a bomb attack outside a government building in Oslo and later killed a further 69, most of them teenagers, when he opened fire at a Labour Youth camp on the island of Utoeya.[/quote]

While I respect Norwegian ways of treating prisoners, in my opinion a mass murderer shouldn't have access to PlayStation at all.
They should leave him with a Philips CD-i.
let him fucking starve, are you kidding me? he killed 77 people and has more privileges than i do.
Give him an Xbox One but no Xbox Live so he can't do anything.
Give him Ride to Hell:Retribution, that'll teach him

I don't see the problem, why can't they just get the Playstation 3 disc, put it in the PS2 and upgrade it to the PS3?
Give that fucker Bubsy 3D
Master troll, people are going to flip their shit over this
He can voluntarily starve himself to death if he really wants to, I don't see why anyone would care about his well-being aside from ensuring he has access to the basic human rights that he is already being supplied with.
Is he trying to start a "Violent Video Games are bad" argument
