Home Secretary John Reid has said that Sony's latest game console is to be banned from prisons.

It is feared the PlayStation 3 machine could be used to "send and receive radio signals" in jails across the country.

It encourages people to take their time and reply to topics, it discourages spam and contentless posts like you posted just then

I know for a fact they have always allowed  PS2's in jail, but I guess with the new features on the PS3, it means they will not allow it as it could enable communication. On ITV News, they said The ability to transmit radio signals and communicate with the PSP could allow prisoners to send messages to the outside world... but are the Nintendo DS's and other wifi enabled equipment, or bluetooth equipment banned, too?

Anyway, why PS2 and now Xbox! Maybe it just shows the mentality of the PS2 user No Xbox User gets locked up

On a side track, I hope they are not funding tese PS3's from our taxes! Prisons already cost more than a 5 star hotel to stay in, for the tax opayer in the UK!
You can debate that, here: Any Wonder Why Prison Doesn't Work
Quote:
Just been reading this and no wonder criminals aren't bothered about going to jail:

Last month, warders at the maximum security Wakefield Prison found that some inmates, including sex offenders, were using their PS2s to watch pornographic DVDs.

Wakefield MP Mary Creagh demanded that authorities at the prison, which houses Roy Whiting and Ian Huntley, implement tougher controls to clamp down on the viewing of pornography.
Following the discovery, prisoners were banned from having the consoles in their cells - and nine of those who had their PS2s taken away received a total of £1800 in compensation. The Prison Service argued that this was simply a case of refunding the men, who purchased the PS2s with their own money.

So it was watching pornography that got PS2's banned!
