Sony Computer Entertainment has issued a consumer alert warning gamers about counterfeit PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers. The company claims that counterfeit controllers could “ignite” or “explode”. Here’s a clip from the alert:
Counterfeit PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers, which are practically identical in appearance to genuine PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers, have been discovered in the market. SCEA advises consumers to be cautious when buying PlayStation 3 Wireless Controllers from uncertain sources as the quality, reliability and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain, and in some cases, may be dangerous. It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, or other property. Moreover, SCEA does not support continued functionality of counterfeit or unlicensed controllers in system software updates and these devices may cease to function in the future because of system software updates.
What’s probably going to happen is that a PS3 controller will explode on someone’s face, scarring half of it. The person will be traumatized by the experience and embark on a life of crime. In a twist, the victim will be caught up in what’s “fair”, deciding his or her actions by flipping a half-burned PS3 controller. That’s my theory anyway….
Quite the theory. I was thinking something very similar. lol
Dual Face?
