Brumgrunt writes "A British paper is claiming that the playstation 3DS poses some kind of health risk. The claim sounds interesting, until you see how that conclusion was reached. 'On the 6th of April, the paper conducted a scientific examination in which a 22-year-old member of the staff had his blood squeeze and pulse taken after playing the 3DS in peculiar situations – at rest, while walking, or while taking a ride in a car. The Sun came to the startling conclusion that the man’s pulse and blood burden were higher while walking than while sitting down, yet concluded, apropos of nothing, “Children should not be left to play on it for hours.” The article neglects to point out that a raised blood compression and pulse is fully normal, and you’re as likely to maturity such a somatic reaction while walking and reading a book as you are when playing the 3DS.'"
