PS3 bad for your skin?

[MorganL4]

that's what some Swiss and British dermatologists are saying...... i just read this article on yahoo. it also said that the Wii can cause some problems as well, I guess the only safe console is the 360. boy am i glad i bought the right console, lol

here's the link:

There was another thread on this, and we all determined that it was the girl's fault.

I think they need to re-do these tests. I highly HIGHlY doubt a gaming controller can cause that.

well glad that we PC gamers are safe...well aside from the who carpal tunnel syndrome thing. I bet they will find some affliction for the Xbox, ya know like Xpoxs or something. Then they will move on to finding bad things about hand helds.

It isn't JUST the playstation, they're just scapegoating that console. It's handling any controller in general... And this was done yesterday.

Like someone on another site said: "Stop squeezing the controller like you're tryin' to phuckin' break it."

Seriously, how can the 360 controller not cause this, and the PS3's case is so serious and all?
Also, just because a console's controller causes skin problems because you're attending a squeezing contest, doesn't mean the other console is better.

Also, the Playstation controllers are almost identical, why didn't this happen with PS1 and PS2 controllers?
It just seems like someone hates video games, more specifically the PS3 and Wii (it's probably an undercover Microsoft employee)

Its only bad if you use it as an exfoliator

Oh wow. Mainstream press/science is trying to lay the blame on gaming for something else.

What will be next?

"After research, it is clear that videogames can result in electricity being used"
It's pathetic. Really.

Well if you are retarded enough not to understand that you're supposed to stop playing after 10+ hours if your hands hurt, then she deserves all she gets, cause the rest of us have an IQ higher than 40 and know that we're not supposed to be playing if it hurts.

Really sad though how the mainstream media use such stupid idiots and turns them against the gaming industry.

Cause the rest of us have an IQ higher than 40 and know that we're not supposed to be playing if it hurts.

Yeah, but how many of us actually *do* stop?

The PS3 Sixaxis controler does feel weird but if you keep using it until you develop bumbs on your hands, you are an idiot. Same goes for straining your arm with the Wii. You can strain your arm playing real tennis, hey lets sue tennis racket manufacturers, ha! ha!

 

[Nihilism Theory]

im interested to know if they actually ever tested this on more than one person.....
