A Playstation 2 = Potention Lethal Weapon.

Yeah Right

    GOVERNMENT SOURCES TELL NBC News an informant warned U.S. Customs a month ago that an organized group with ties to Iraq was buying thousands of PlayStations from toy stores in Detroit. [/u]

Government sources and informants, sounds like a really poorly throughout bit of propaganda. I mean, if Iraq really wanted that much tech, they\'d build a linux cluster and wouldn\'t bother around with mere toys. More likely this story was leaked by the Fed government as a way to get Iraq back into the news and get the masses of American\'s to hate them, blaming the PS2 shortage on Iraq and not Sony. Sony even said there wouldn\'t be enough PS2 to go around.

On a separate note, the story states, "Experts claim that the computer chip and 3-D video processor in a PlayStation are one thousand times more powerful than the most sophisticated computer on the consumer market today — turning toys, into potential weapons." Must be some really dumb experts.

I heard about this like almost 5 years ago. I bet they\'re selling PS3\'s on the black market ;)

And yes, I heard them say that about the PS2. Some people are dumb as sh^t...

You should check the dates on articles you find.

A lot of over-hype circulated around the PS2. I just hope the gap between PS3 and all the hype is MUCH smaller this time...
