DJDJ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've heard today that the Playstation three is a fire hazard in the uk, or at least the prototypes are :S something to do with the voltage we have over here or something that the parts cant handle. Has anyone heard this? is it true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seddo Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 When the 360's come out they were a fire hazard, when it over heated it burst into flames and set someones curtains on fire and nearly burnt the house down There was a news article on the net somewhere.

Venom Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 A lot of the early Xbox's were (I think those made up to August 2004).. something to do with a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDJ Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 well as far as im aware the ps3s problem is something to doy with the console not being able to cope with 230 Volts apparently, and i have no proof nad not sure whether to believe this, someone my mate knows works in a warehouse that deals in recalled and faulty goods and he's seen about a hundred PS3s, all burnt out.

Yup my Xbox was one of the machines thats power adapter had to be recalled. It hadn't overheated o anything i just got a free one to be on the safe side.
