It burst into flames and killed my daughter, November 19, 2006
How could Sony betray me like this?!? I waited in line for three months--yes, I started the very first line for the PS3 way before anyone else. I endured the elements, the snide comments, and unemployment (I was fired from my job after the first week) because I wanted to be the very first person to play what I imagined would be the salvation to all my dearest dreams. Rumor had it that playing a videogame on the PS3 would be like injecting heroin directly into your eyeball. I believed the hype and worshipped Sony as my god.

Finally, with nearly every credit card maxed out and two debt consolidation plans under my belt, the great day arrived and I fought my way into the store to get my hands on this wonder console. Leaving the store I did a little victory dance and then drove up and down the parking lot taunting those who did not get a PS3. Then it was off to home to play this little beauty.

I hooked everything up while my wife and children watched and applauded at my direction. It was time to play the first game! After two hours I noticed that waves of heat were pouring off the console, so I told my daughter to hold it up in the air in front of a fan while I continued playing, waiting for the opiate-like ecstasy that was soon to overwhelm me after I shot to death another video game enemy. Things went fine for awhile; an hour later the box began whistling and my daughter complained that it was getting too hot to hold. I figured this was just what they called "burning in" and continued playing.

Then, at the four hour mark, my daughter began complaining of blisters and within fifteen minutes the entire console burst into flames, the plastic casing scorching and bubbling as I rushed to complete the level. But I was too late, and my precious daughter burned to death. Wracked with sadness at not being able to save my game, I immediately called my lawyer to review my options for a massive lawsuit.

I am sure we all expected a few "bugs" and "glitches" and "inconveniences", but that does not excuse Sony for selling what appears to be a blazing DEATH TRAP.

Caveat emptor!

UPDATE: Those who doubt me should know that I have already granted several interviews to bloggers about this story. My surviving wife and children certainly think this is all too real. Also, I would like to change my overall rating to two stars since the gameplay was fairly good until it burst into flames.

If this is true, then the farther should be dealt with by the police for child abuse.

The child didn't deserve to be treated like that

Yeah there is that part of me saying it cant be true as you would let go of it well before the plastic starts bubbling and I'm sure Sony would have tested it to the extreme to make sure it shuts down before getting too hot.
 
Those last two posts were the best example of how this forum is split concerning the 360/PS3. All agree that's all it comes down to and let's move on from this topic :p

He seems more worried about the PS3 than his daughter. What a ****** though, child abuse imo, making his daughter hold it for that long! She was getting blisters for christ sake, disgusting news and i hope he mourns for the rest of his life.

Postscript: Name Deleted took down my review. GODDAMN YOU, Name Deleted , my dear dead daughter is dead and I hold you fully responsible!



Post-postscript: They put it back up after I complained!



Final postscript: Okay, someone at Name Deleted came to their senses and finally took it down again, probably for good this time (I couldn't believe they actually took me seriously when I complained about it being taken down the first time). Still, if you want to read even more asinine comments from me about my experience, go to the link in the first postscript, it still works. I guess this even made it to Fark which is kind of like being name checked on public access cable.
