Sony's PlayStation 3 marketing has touted that their system "only does everything," but here's one thing no one would ever want to a see PlayStation used for: detonator for an improvised explosive device.
During a Fox News report (yes, Fox News, but bear with us) of a raid of a home suspected of stocking bomb-making materials in Afghanistan, a PlayStation controller was found that one soldier explained would have been used to detonate an explosive. "Something as simple as what a soldier may've thrown out because their PlayStation was broken can be used as an initiator device," the unidentified soldier says while holding the controller (which, to be specific, appears to be an original PS1 controller since it lacks analog sticks).
