Wouldn't that be considered inhumane treatement of prisoners? That'd fall under cruel and unusual punishment, which a lawyer is just WAITING to jump on.

I severely doubt Playstation was having any negative effects on the prisoners, no matter how "violent" the games were.

No, that's just sick. Cruel and unusual would be making them play a video game involving the Tron guy. (I'm sure someone's made one by now)

pehaps the state is worried they'll try to use the "it was the video games fault" defense to get out of their life sentence...

It's funny, but over a year ago there was a big deal about Regal Cinemas pulling all violent games out of their theater lobbies. House of the Dead 2 was singled out as the biggest offender. All the Regal Cinemas in my area still have these games. :rolleyes:
