Even the most die-hard of fanboys would draw the line at taking a knuckle-sandwich over their favourite console. Sadly one young man in Greensburg, Pennsylvania had no choice in the matter. A manhunt is currently underway for four individuals who allegedly beat another man because of an argument over the ownership a PlayStation 3.

The 18 year-old victim, who has remained nameless, suffered a broken bone near his eye and several other facial injuries after one of the assailants punched him in the face with brass knuckles and then, as he lay on the floor, kicked him repeatedly.

Police Captain George Seranko said the victim approached a gathering of approximately thirty men before being attacked, “[He] wanted to know what was going on. The next thing he knew, Fabiszewski (one of the men implicated) punched him.” Police are appealing for any witnesses.
