The report found that all three systems also contained significant levels of bromine, a chemical linked to impaired memory functions and other health problems. One of the phthalates found in the 360 and PS3, a chemical called DEHP, is also known to interfere with sexual development in mammals, especially males.

Interesting little article...

not sure if I care or not though. They could have made the controller casings out of solid lead and I would still be playing my GTA IV.


I'll play 'til my penis falls off!
 
Phthalates are ****ing bad. They're also found in really poor quality sex toys, and they are very dangerous.
 
I don't have a console, therefore I am safe.
You all will be crying when you don't have a penis anymore, or a badly damaged one that doesn't work. Yeah.
 
You're not a real gamer till you become infertile from radiation poisoning.

Unless you plan to blend your console into a smoothie and drink it I don't see what's so interesting. Oh and if you do drink that smoothie you're going to have bigger problems, such as your internals being cut up by little pieces of metal.

It's interesting because this is going to cause a whole ruckus about how video games are physically bad for your health, and not just mentally bad.

I can see such a thing happening anyways, not so much that it will.
 
EDIT: Doh Double post. Thought I was editing my original post as I had pushed the back button.

Guess I should go to bed. D:

Aye, just reading the quote it seems like they are talking about chemicals INSIDE the console NOT effecting you? Safely put away from you?
I'll read the article when I get back home.
 
Green chemophobia as it's best.
As a chemist I really don't care about that.
 
It's a good thing I'm still Fin.....
...
OH MY GOD WHY DID MR. JONES FALL OF!?
 
Chemicals, eh?

I have three words for you, and all of them are 'nom'.
 
Didn't you all know? It's a population control conspiracy orchestrated by the Illuminati aimed at the millions of naive and ignorant gamers worldwide. Much like how cell phones causes brain tumors and junk food like nachos and Oreos makes people fat and unhealthy. :P

*Waits for juhana's long speech about the zionist agents' master plan(s)*
