Let the funniez begin:

Hah, Burnout was the game in it.

I bet it's caused by those cheap batteries from China.

 

[leetdude_007]

Never heard that happen on a DS... yet.

 

[NeSchn]

Damn that sucks, Sony better give him a new one, or they will most likely come up with some BS excuse.

 

[PBC]

Imagine being able to make a program that enables you to connect to a neighboring PSP and cause it to overheat... I think I'd name that program Carrie.

 

[AshuraZro]

Sony batteries exploding? That never happens!

 

[DarkAura]

Pwn't. That is all. Well, not really, I just kinda feel bad for the guy; lost his PSP.

 

[Twiffles]

Maybe it'll happen with the Wiis

I keep my PSP in the only pocket in my bag I take to school, hopefully it doesn't light.

 

[Destructobot]

Won't this happen with any lithium battery if it gets cracked open?

Won't this happen with any lithium battery if it gets cracked open?

No.

I enjoy cracking open lithium batteries with hammers, screwdrivers etc. and none of them have exploded yet.

 

[SkH]

Heey, wait, so, this means now I have to fear from that happen with my PSP on school, during class??!!!

 

[FaRReR]

Never heard that happen on a DS... yet.

It won't, because it's the Sony

batteries that are crappy.

 

[SkH]

So what do you guys think? Actually why does that happened?? I'm really don't want to fear...

Damn that sucks, Sony better give him a new one, or they will most likely come up with some BS excuse.

When Nokia phones started exploding or overheating, at first the official company line was that it must have been down to crappy 3rd party or fake batteries. When people claimed they were using official Nokia batteries, Nokia said the fakes were so good that even Nokia couldn't tell the difference between a real battery and a fake - they even had fake holograms etc. When people said they'd not changed their battery since buying their phone, Nokia said resellers must have been taking out the official batteries and replacing them with these fakes.

IIRC they eventually did recall certain models though.

"Liar, liar, pants on firAAAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

 

[SkH]

Please, guys, don't do fun out of this.

That's sad. And I'm afraid this happens with me during class, on school.

So, actually, what happened?

Do the Battery was a Chinese Fake battery or a home-made Pandora Battery? (and becasue of that, why do that occured??)

 

[JPH]

I hope that little kid sues the shit out of Sony for revenge on what they did to Liksang
