Someone apparently called ‘911’ about the PSN outage

I can’t think of anything worse than a world without video games. That’s why I can relate to a Florida kid who felt the need to contact the authorities about his PlayStation not working.

The Palm Beach county sheriff took to Twitter (via @FloridaMan) over the weekend to share a 9-1-1 emergency conversation that a dispatcher had with a concerned citizen. What was the nature of the emergency? Well, this caller wanted information about why the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live were not working. On Thursday, PSN and Xbox Live collapsed under a distributed denial-of-service attack that prevented many people from getting online and playing their games.
