So... i shouldn't eat it... is the world really coming to this point, where we have to warn people of the hazards of eating a video game console? Ridiculous...

[CraZx2ing]

Well, if the console doesn't have a RoHS sticker on it, odds are it contains lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

Guess what, some or all of these chemicals are in your cell phone, tv, game systems, electric tooth brush, your car, your computer, and anything else with a printed circuit board assembly in it.

Whoop ti do.

I think the main focus of the article should have been on this

"And whatever you do, don't dump your broken 360 in the trash. The group has further identified game consoles as key contributors towards a growing waste product called "ewaste." Once console have reached the end of useful life, the group said, game consoles are "often dumped and end up in unsafe and dirty recycling yards in developing countries, where toxic contents harm both the environment and the health of workers."

tested positive for a variety of hazardous chemicals, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Does this mean these dumbasses are going to start targeting everyone with a house or keman intake?

Yes because ya know keman intakes are so widely known to everyone who hasn't had a zx2 before. And I'm guessing its in a different form than the PVC pipe.

[simplicity05]

Different form or not it's still PVC. And the keman mod thing was a joke. It's ok to lol now.
