Student suffers second degree burns on leg via PSP

This past month has seen the addition of a number of useful features to Sony's underdog handheld, such as its Skype integration and the soon to be imported GPS functionality. However, a story from a Michigan middle school recently broke the news of a heretofore unannounced ability of the PSP -- instantaneous superheating, with possible leg disfigurement.

Apparently, a student had the system turned off and in his pocket in the middle of band practice when, all of a sudden, it melted through his jean pocket, sending him to the hospital with second-degree burns on his leg. Sony has yet to comment on the incident, though their website reminds PSP owners that using third-party batteries and charging equipment is likely to cause such an accident -- as will playing the trombone within a 5 foot radius of the system, apparently.

In a beautiful showing of coincidence, the game occupying the system at the time of the meltdown supposedly was, you guessed it, Burnout Dominator.

Is there anything the PSP can't do? It can play games, play UMD movies, play MP3's, connect to the internet, singe flesh, and cook a human leg, thoroughly in three minutes flat. How the hell is it losing, to a DS which has no grilling capabilities to speak of? :lol

Actually, I was on my DS Web Browser, I didn't see you fail at a joke with a quote from a game you've never played.

Haven't played it? :lol

You've both admitted it and tried proving your point that it has no gameplay by bringing up a spoof video from YouTube, so...yes.
 
man... it's funny, but it's not... can you imagine what that felt like?!

Something HAD to have happened with the battery... it's the only way IMO.

UNLESS the Wifi somehow went analog and the power jumped causing other problems, eventually leading to the battery to screw up.

Melted PSP down the leg... man I'm sure that felt great.... Just think if it turned back to a solid after melting on his leg... errrrrr ouch.

†B†V† :hat
 
Can you imagine the heat and speed it would have had to melt at to even do that?
