It was a case of a man being kidnapped, bound, and tortured. However, were it not for a PSP, the man would never have known freedom, and if he did, it could have been days/weeks/months from when he was actually freed if ever.

A nine day ordeal is exactly what Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia faced, when he a friends ex-wife showed up at his home one day with two men who were looking for a job. Having been in the middle of something with fellow co-workers at the construction company which he owened, he decided to meet the men properly another day. When they met, he showed them a potential job site, and whilst they were on their way back, he was led to a secluded spot and thus, his ordeal began.

Kidnapped, forced to write checks for the two men (named Sanchez& Gonzales), and beaten in a hotel room. He was also forced to stay in the same clothes for nine days without bathing, until the "fortunate" day that Gonzales got Sanchez a PSP to play whilst looking after Garcia. However, Sanchez diverted his attention from Garcia towards his PSP, and gave Garcia the opportunity to escape from the room, and alert the hotel staff and authorities.

A simple case of 'Playing the PSP saved my life'.
