Even after Sony lost a lot in that massive fire, they just keep on giving.

I know SCEE and the Sony building destroyed in Enfield are two different Sony things, but STILL!

stupid muggers, the vitas coming out soon

SCEE, glad to see there's some good in the world.
Had trouble watching the whole video through. Just horrid

Sony is great :)

Has anyone seen those Vigilantes going around kicking the crap out of these yobs, if you want something done properly you got to do it yourself.

I saw news footage of the Vigilantes protesting and there was a crap load of police surrounding the area, giving them a warnings and telling them off.....while down the road a load of yobs were destroying stores and there wasn't one policeman in sight.

The police are a joke, it's like they think "Oh the Vigilantes arn't going to do much to us so we'll make it look like were doing something so we don't have to deal with the hoodies"

Disgraceful. The events over the past few days are an embarrassment to us who live in London but the whole of the UK. While I don't agree with what I saw here, I don't agree with the youtube comments either about how Londoners are horrible. Most of us are actually lovely people but it's the working class youth who've shamed our city over the past 3 or so days. Not the general population.

This guy deserves the replacement and more. I've never seen something so bad. The government issued a curfew to all area's effected yesterday and told us we shouldn't leave our houses after it gets dark. How can we be living like that in one of the most powerful nations on the planet. Hopefully it's resolved soon but the way things going the UK will have to adopt the Police State mentality for the foreseeable future, especially when the cuts come on....London's gonna be an absolute warzone.

They should give him the first PSV off the production line. Maybe some self defense lessons too.

this is crazy, If the UK still had gun right like the US, these people could defend themselves.

did those people beat the guy up first? is that we hes bleeding?

I still cant believe what I saw, taking advantage of that poor guy. This is exactly what's wrong with the world these days! Nobody seems to have any morals! I hope those thugs get what's coming to them.

That so sucks.. well shouldn't of been outside during the riots.. wonder if he was joining in to steal sony merch.. ahh that be to funny, and guess them street fighting games didn't help, though they are replacing it so thats cool.

Ok I feel bad about what I said but slightly smirking so im posting not carring if I get flammed.

p.s its cause he didnt have his fighting stick. HIYO.

Poor guy :S. Damn muggers.

I hope that they get what's coming to them, they should get a Free copy of the whoop ass the guy they stole shit from got, and then afterwards a nice complimentary side of gravy up the arse!

You'd expect to see this in places like Somalia but London? It really shows the worst of society concentrated in pockets around the city. Get the army in before it's too late.

The police should be allowed to shoot to kill these guys. It would be more beneficial to the community as a whole than throwing them in jail while getting free meals out of the citizen's pockets.

The morale is: If you are going to get mugged, make sure it's caught on camera...

Edit: Bad joke I know. But many people have lost their homes and all their belongings in these tragic riots. I'm glad at least this person gets his PSP replaced...

I think England is gonna have to get NATO up in there to stop them. I can also see thugs replicating this incident with eachother just to try and get a free PSP.

anyone there should do their best to get close up pictures of all the rioters faces, ones that aren't covered up anyway, this will get them locked up.

dam f*cking pigs especially the coward who takes his stuff in the end . the government needs to be more aggressive. $hit shoot the bastards with rubber bullets or even real ones they are destroying peoples lives.

The police should just be given machine guns with plastic bullets and not a stupid plastic shield and a stick. Then when all these chavs start getting really hurt we will see who has control over the citys

Really disgusting. Thank God for cameras.

It's been said but props for Sony for looking out for it's fanbase and hopefully a quick recovery for Haziq.

If it was up to me, i'd have the feds shoot all the rioters in the legs. Flesh wound the fuckers, doesnt matter how young. They dont care what theyre damaging? We wont either. Simple.

And as for that fucking prick who stole the stuff from that guys bag, i hope he gets skull fucked to such an extent that he'll start to cry and wish he was aborted.

I live in London (Tottenham in fact), and u cant be soft on these kind of people, words wont do anything u gotta be rough on them, just be cuatious cos' i'd say %60 will be carrying knives.

This is a terrible thing happening in London and the rest of U.K.

I hope that chav that made off with his PSP is caught and dealt with swiftly. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Fair play to Sony for replacing his console.

i already deleted one PSN buddy i known for over a year. Why? he seems to "commend" riots via twitter. he had an argument over another twitter guy (who's also my PSN buddy).

I totally am disgusted at these pointless riots. It made me sick

Ooooo that little effer walking away with it and his cute "I'm a baddas$" walk... What I'd like to do to him, what I'd like to do...

Good one sony those bloody chickens ganging up on a kid hope they get whats coming to them...

The goverment should bring in Massaki Hatsumi.

Watching this was absolutly disgusting. Im just so happy that Sony will cheer him up with a brand new PSP.

SCEE really looking out for the fans :) Kudos.

It's a very ncie gesture, but it's a shame no-one can pronounce his name…

Maximum respect to you Sony.

I'm appauled by what has happened over the last few days, its really embarrasing for us aswell. Hopefully the police will be allowed to use rubber bullets and shoot these scum bags.

Brits...riot over a cop shooting someone then harm other people, that makes sense.

If you wanted to make the 100th comment I feel bad for you son, this article had 99 comments but I've just added one. Mug me!

BTW, this is good pr for Sony. Fair play to them.

Saw this when it was first shown, horrible. England is in a f*cking mess right now. Thankfully the cops rules of engagement have been relaxed lately, so the looters and rioters are getting hit hard. For example :) http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Bloody Neds/Chavs .. they should all be sent to boot camp or forced to do national service and learn some damn respect!!

As for myself.. i am glad all the crap has not started here in Scotland.. they would not get away with all that crap up here.. the locals would start jumping on their heads!!

The most disgusting image of the riots. That guy who stole the PSP is the lowest form of humanity.

Ashraf Haziq is currently being treated at London Royal Hospital according to a lot of social networks.

I hope this helps.

This is a Malaysian student who has just come to the UK for his first year in University and then this happens because of those lowlife scums, and on top of that he was fasting so obviously he didn't have the energy to fight back. What makes you think he'll like to stay in the UK any longer after this? These idiots have ruined the countries image.

What do you think his parents back in Malaysia are going think once they see their son being beaten up? He worked hard to get to where he is coming to the UK to further his education to have a better life and these heartless ass-wipes have to ruin his first year for him.

I pray to go that he has fast recovery.

stealing from an injured, is like taking candy from a bay. how low can you go.

PURE. SCUM.

Am not a spiteful person but i hope the asshole who took it get's hit by a truck while playing it outside, won't help the victim but it would make me feel better knowing that prick is dead.

ive seen this on the news alot, makes me so angry. how can you steal something from a injured person. i hope all the people who stole from that bag rot in hell.

They should give the kid a Vita when it comes out

Assholes like these are the reason I started taking Kickboxing classes. I really wish I could've been there to do something about it and help the dude out

what is wrong with this generation of teenagers? Godless society.

karma always catches up to people...hes gonna get his!

When I was watching this on CBC earlier, I was thinking this would be a good idea.

It would be awesome if they gave him a Vita when it comes out, too. The kid's only been in Britain a few months, it would show a nicer side of Europe.

Those sick fuckS deserve TO FUCKEN DIE!!!!!!!!!
how the hell you going to do that to a young boy???
damn I wish I was there to beat the shit outta of em all.

That's pretty decent of them considering they just lost a plant and had that huge loss of money recently. Pretty decent indeed.

nice to come to N4G and see that there are normal humans around.

this was obviously a PR move. you think they care about the boy ? nope they care about their companies image and they knew that replacing that boys psp would help improve the companies image so they did just that.

why people on here are riding sonys d*ck over this I do not know sony didn't do it for free they had something to gain in return which they got and that is, better public image.

Those guys should be killed though, stealing should be punishable by death.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...SEND THE ARMY IN THERE WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR....

Sony respect boost from me :D

thats awesome! good job sony!!!

LOL!!! Obviously the 20 years old Asian male is considered as a "boy" by the press. That explains a lot about the JRPG genre actually.

"Just another way to get publicity. Oh well that's still nice of Sony to do that. "

Hey they're doing a nice thing that's all that matters. Plus didn't Sony have a huge facility there get burned down by stupid rioters? 1000's of people at that Sony facility are out of jobs because of these retarded people. I hope that everything turns out alright for everyone regarding this senseless violence/looting. I wish all the best to the peeps over in the U.K..

That's a top class gesture by Sony.
Even though Sony lost a complete warehouse cause of a fire started by looters.

Helping other victims of those looters is a great way to show your support.

RESPECT ;_;

Those muggers are real aholes. Nice that Sony replaced his PSP but this should not have happend in the first place.

i wish i was rich as hell so i could fly over there and search for that guy and use a bat on his knees and hands. Hopefully someone does something similar that lives over there.

I'm starting to agree with the Rockefeller's view that the human population needs to be reduced. I know where we can start... with those animals.

sorry sony does not care about this man" they saw a good opportunity to look good and did a damn good job.Only fools believe businesses love or care for them!
poor guy at least he got a get well gift :D

@Zerocrossing People get shot to death every single day out here in California..you can't compare UK to the US in murders just because you had your first riot in a million years kids out west get shot down every day be happy you live in the uk your violence will never compare to California or any of our american city's level of daily killing's.

Wow starving babies in africa millions in trouble and a major company wants to replace a kids toy how noble should give them a hollow award, i guess they looked away when those children died on the news.

this is why i love sony as a compny anything to keep fans happy. if it was microsoft which btw are loaded with cash they would have said f*ck you pay me

Very harsh punishments required in this country. I'm talking "I really better not commit this crime or this hideous punishment may happen"

But that won't happen. The far left has too tighter grip on the idiots who are supposed to be running this place.

now this is just fucked up

no matter how poor you are you cant see a bleeding boy and steal his stuff like that

If the government would step in with military force, and kill, yes, murder, each person who thinks they can live there life in this manner, I really don't think anyone would care. This is fucking sick. Life like this, doesn't deserve to be lived. They just add to the social pollution that is the corruption of morality. I'd gladly take the death sentence if I could just be granted the chance to off a few of these sick fucks.

Some people are fucking stupid. Just because you cant afford a PSP U HAVE TO STEAL A KIDS PSP? Now thats fucking low. How bout GET A JOB and save up like everyone else did. Glad SONY gave him a free PSP.
