Sony confirmed that a self-contained nuclear reactor would power the Playstation 3.

PS3

"The PS3 is a very powerful system" said Sony representative Toshio Iwaki. "We cant expect municipalities to build new power plants just so gamers can play hot new games. Thats why we developed the proprietary PS3 Enriched Uranium Stick ?."

Sony denies accusations from parent groups who say that this is all part of Sony`s plan to create a generation of mutant super children. "Sure the games for the PS3 will be complex but regular kids will be able to play them. Mutant super children wont be needed until the PS5, so parents can rest easy," said Sony`s representative.

To shield the Uranium properly, Sony had to reinforce the console to prevent it from any harmful radiation. Just like the Xbox 360, the power supply for the PS3 will be extremely heavy. They created their own isotope of Uranium and enriched it using a special process to prevent third parties from developing replacements.

Sony has already begun reassuring customers about the safety of having a small nuclear reactor in your home. "Weve started an ad campaign featuring The Simpsons that tells consumers that the PS3 is no more dangerous to your health than eating a double Quarter Pounder with cheese while driving a Ford Escort without your seat belt fastened while smoking an unfiltered Marlboro. I think most Americans will be comfortable with that risk."

This means that just like the PS2, the PS3 will be illegal to export to certain nations and suburbs.

Needssomething like a statement thst the shielding is made out of industrial grade aluminium foil and the Escort travelling at 200MPH towards a row of houses and not having any brakes...

Amusing but could have been better
