Going to the slammer because of the PlayStation 3 (sadly) isn’t the most uncommon of occurrences, but if you’re headed off to a British prison, we certainly hope you weren’t counting on getting your game on with Sony’s latest whilst locked up. Home Secretary John Reid has made clear that Sony’s latest console simply won’t be allowed within UK jails, as its ability to “send and receive radio signals” lends itself to becoming an illegal communication device with the “outside world.” After getting over the slightly unbelievable tidbit that such luxuries would even be considered as a prison amenity, we also noticed that Mr. Reid feared that the PS3 could communicate with the PSP via WiFi, giving him yet another reason not to blow thousands of pounds to entertain convicted criminals. And before you try to sneak one of these beasts in via a sly underground tunnel, we’ve no doubt that Murphy will be all over those taboo data transmissions before you can even read up on old emails.
