MORE than 100 PlayStations were seized from paedophiles at the jail where Gary Glitter is being held.
It is feared the sick perverts were using the Sony gaming devices to trade abuse online and even to contact children on the outside.
Cons are banned from using the web in prison. But sources last night said a group of sex offenders had smuggled in tiny USB sticks to access the internet.
The raid took place last week in a massive intelligence-led operation at The Verne prison, near Portland, Dorset, home to paedo rocker Glitter.
Officers went round the cells removing every PlayStation in the jail, which houses only sex offenders.
