Teenager Cory Ryder allegedly hired a hitman to kill his parents after they took his PlayStation away as a punishment.

But Shannan Troiano and stepdad Joey heard of his threats and an undercover cop posed as an assassin to snare Cory, 17.

Shannan said: "I miss him. But that can't be my little boy sitting there."

He denies attempted murder in St Mary's County, Maryland.

Jesus Christ, a hitman plot after punishment?
Wow. People really are losing it these days.

I've heard a similar story.

But I was trying to kill my step-dad.

I'm starting to wonder if games do have an effect on certain individuals that are vulnerable to addiction easily.

Yeah, this is what I think:

Some people don't like their life, so they play video games to get away from it, kind of like a second life. They get so into that, that they become completely obsessed, and things like this can happen.

Boy this is pathetic. Heck, my parents took my computer away and its still away, you don't see me throwing a fit, much less hiring hitmen.

Get a life people.

Playstations go for like $20 used. Hiring an assassin to get back at your parents for stealing a $20 item is much more expensive, plus possible prison time. Instead of getting his Playstation, he should maybe take a visit to a prison shower.
