They've used the Nintendo DS, washer timers, cell phones, pagers, walkie talkies, timer circuit boards, and Christmas lights. It's not like this is anything really new and unlikely they can mass produce this as cheaply as what they've been doing. It is, however, why they don't have nice things.
I don't even think that's a PS1 controller but instead of of those cheapo Chinese NES/SNS on chip things which would have a mechanical switch you might be able to use to to activate an electric match.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for the terrorists just to.... you know, BUY EXPLOSIVE SUPPLIES! I mean, it isn't like they are.... RARE around the world!
This is just another thing that shows that the United States is IN OVER IT'S DAMNED HEAD in Iraq and Afghanistan.... the first, we shouldn't have gone into in the first place.
The second, Bush should have his NUTS in a vise for lying to us about the level of support that the Taliban was giving Al-Qaida.
F.U.C.K YOU AMERICA!!!!! LONG LIFE TO THE TALIBANS!!
NO MATTER HOWLONGS ITTAKES BUT AFGHANISTAN SOMEDAY WILL BE FREE OF ALL YOU AMERICANS MOROMS!! EVEN IF THE A PS3 CELL PROCESOR IS NESSESARY!!!
Perhaps the controller was used to activate a cheat to grant the terrorists temporary invulnerability, infinite ammo or to enable additional fighters to materialize out of thin air!
No wonder the foreign invaders are having a hard time ending the war. -.-
*Sigh...* If only I could configure my controller buttons to manipulate time, make someone disappear, put money in my piggy bank....
Blown way out of proportions. The controller is an initiator device meaning it's not more than a wired switch. You could do the same thing with Ethernet cable.
I'm no expert on the history but I remember hearing about an interesting and very ethically questionable military tactic;
The enemy was dug in and the Chinese army was sent in to invade them. Don't know if it was a new conquest or a rebellion issue later. In any case, the Chinese army would have overwhelmed them eventually, but the cost in lives and time would have been too dear, an oriental "300" in the making. So the commander did this; "You insult us! We do not need as many men as we have brought to defeat you!" and at his signal several thousand soldiers instantly killed themselves. They then attacked a now fleeing enemy and won with hardly any new casualties. The simple math, based on many other battles, he'd have lost far more men than the ones he sacrificed by this trick and it would have taken him months for a conquest that shouldn't have lasted a day.
So, I'm bringing this up to try to say anything good about AmeriKKKa. But I fear I've failed, for no spin, even Faux Noose can spin this right.
The USA probably spent, what, $3 million on that expedition? (counting Halliburton jacking) And the bombs will be replaced by Osama or some other Saudi Arabian royalty who feels like "Exporting Jihad" in the expenditure of 1 penny by comparison... And this time, instead of a bunch of cruddy ancient ordinance and jerry-rigged stuff, they'll get the top of the line from the "Merchants of Death" the USA lets fund the petty dictators.
Just one man's opinion, but IMO it's also like that Osprey thing.
They spend US$60 million to make a working model, fill it full of recruiting poster Marines and lift it up. Due to the "Square Cube" law, it drops like the brick it resembles killing all aboard, so they build another one, change the software a bit, and fill it full....again and again... Now they are pushing them into Iraq to try to justify their expense, but they are also vulnerable to dust... So, nothing but "Vanilla VIP" runs heavily guarded and low enough a fall is survivable. All they are missing is showing videos of this to the insurgents who spend US$3 (or nothing, if a Cluster bomblet gets caught in a tree branch) to build a roadside bomb to kill/maim a dozen troops. "You think you want to kill us? Look how WE want to kill us!" And maybe they'd go; "How can we fight such barbarians?" and just try to convert troops to Islam so they'd desert and form their own "Petty government" and blackmail the USA for the oil, but not be that mean to them.
Wasting money is what large organizations be they for profit companies or governments do best. You'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't lose money in a variety of ways.
im glad I dont live in the u.s.
and always have been the us is one of the most unoficialy corrupted places on earth
its no wonder they spend all their money on bombs its coz they get to have a bomb at discount price
plus they make some new freinds 4 the heaven that doesnt exist
and if one does then im hpen its the 72 virgins one
Wow, how pitiful and unsightly. Some people are actually proud their system is used to kill troops and civilians and used as weapons of terror. Anything to fill their PS Threego.
Useful?!?!
Are you saying that controllers converted into bomb detonators by the Taliban in order to blow up USA and NATO forces is "useful"?
Please, rethink what you just said.
> wait...are you seriously suggesting that you can't get away with enkou in Japan. Seriously?
No... You must be unable to read.
Oh. "I die a little... More
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?
WHICH SIDE DO YOU WANT?
So I take it this was the actual reason why Thrill Kill never saw a retail release?
"Terrorist Win"...
fckin terrorists! they're GAME! XD
In the next fps that comes out they need to replace granades with ps1s.
If the Taliban support PS3, what more do you need to know that it's the superior system?
It only does everything indeed.
Gamers (aka "next generation soldiers")
seems like they can just use everything they get
They've used the Nintendo DS, washer timers, cell phones, pagers, walkie talkies, timer circuit boards, and Christmas lights. It's not like this is anything really new and unlikely they can mass produce this as cheaply as what they've been doing. It is, however, why they don't have nice things.
I bet Osama it's using xbox
Bringing the motherfucking death by...Sony?
Now THAT'S what I call a franchise boom!
;-D
Everybody's gonna get bricked...literally
worse' they could resurrect the old 8bit game Bomberman and use it as a tactical simulation for planting bombs.
couldn't they have found something cheaper as a detonator?
I remember when they say the PS2 could guide missiles...
Ahmed and Salim!!!!!!!!
it's like booby traps, you just take anything that lies around and combine it. Like net,traptool, barrel, powder and some weird fishes
I don't even think that's a PS1 controller but instead of of those cheapo Chinese NES/SNS on chip things which would have a mechanical switch you might be able to use to to activate an electric match.
I always knew playstation was too high-tech for resourceful people, and that was just a ps one controller.
It only sets of bombs... gives a new meaning
it only does every thing lol
Wouldn't it be cheaper for the terrorists just to.... you know, BUY EXPLOSIVE SUPPLIES! I mean, it isn't like they are.... RARE around the world!
This is just another thing that shows that the United States is IN OVER IT'S DAMNED HEAD in Iraq and Afghanistan.... the first, we shouldn't have gone into in the first place.

Nintendo and Microsoft are more patriotic.
Also PS1s? What is this 1997?
F.U.C.K YOU AMERICA!!!!! LONG LIFE TO THE TALIBANS!!
NO MATTER HOWLONGS ITTAKES BUT AFGHANISTAN SOMEDAY WILL BE FREE OF ALL YOU AMERICANS MOROMS!! EVEN IF THE A PS3 CELL PROCESOR IS NESSESARY!!!
U.S.A. WORST NATION EVER!
gee, I didn't know they had internet in your country?
u mad
Hahaha... Well, that's why I don't want to sell my good ol' PSX.
Perhaps the controller was used to activate a cheat to grant the terrorists temporary invulnerability, infinite ammo or to enable additional fighters to materialize out of thin air!

*Sigh...* If only I could configure my controller buttons to manipulate time, make someone disappear, put money in my piggy bank....
What the?
The hell is my Playstation doing there?
lol,then they'd turn on a DS loaded with explosives that has Love Plus in it and leave it as a booby trap.
a good way to kill otakus
"armies of liberty"?
Why are you trusting faux news?
I wonder if they played some eroge with that...
It's a Sony!! EVERYONE GET DOWN!!!
eh, i thought they just used the insides of the PS3 in their missiles.
thats cool but fucked up
Blown way out of proportions. The controller is an initiator device meaning it's not more than a wired switch. You could do the same thing with Ethernet cable.
I am awaiting the blowjob peripheral Sony, make it happen.
Make Believe!
Islamic terrorists supporting Japanese economy? (sarcasm)
I think this classifies as an act of terrorism:

you don't know what you're talking about you sir are and idiot
Stop trying to sound like you know what you're talking about. Your terrible sentencing gives you away.
hahaha u cant ad homonon hahaha and idiot1
all hes trying to say is that the US is wasting large sums of money and not getting much of a result.
Robot stuff w/ guns:
$$$ millions of taxpayers money
RC w/ lots of c4:
less than a thousand $ w/ spare change
Human Ingenuity wins all wars.
Wasting money is what large organizations be they for profit companies or governments do best. You'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't lose money in a variety of ways.
I think what its trying to do is melt my brain.
im glad I dont live in the u.s.
and always have been the us is one of the most unoficialy corrupted places on earth

The news article is about how smart people can be.
And anything can be used to kill people, its just how people think about using it.
Internet : serious fucking business
One of the only acts of terrorism you can inflict with a ps2 is this:
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/9/951999_109959_front.jpg
........OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
..RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!
my god its like watching someone play halo but youve only got one controller
RUN!
You have to input the Konami code in order to disable the bombs.
But that sets it off. You gotta hold L1 and press O, O, O then Start to disable the bomb and grant 30 lives.
In less than 2 seconds, I bet.
Konami ! Amigo !
Your Bombing is like shunshine on a cloudy day ! \o/
Wait, there is no "A" and "B" on a PS controller.
It doesn't work very well as a fleshlight.
Be aware.
But it vibrate, doesn't it
Even though its not PS3 but PS2, I don't think this is the publicity they wanted when they started the "It only does everything" slogan...
It's PS1, actually. Ollld PS1. No analog sticks.
We're doomed if they ever get their hands on a Wiimote.
Well, at least XBOX360's safe...
It will have it's RROD before it detonates.
With time we'll discover new uses it has... or it already has but we didn't thought of it... Jesus, not even Sony knew the beast they make.
On other news, try doing this with your xbox 360, but try using the xbox as the bomb and use it not for terrorist acts but just for fun.
Fox News = laughable BS
Faux News!
you read it as Foh.
And that's why it's so funny that that's the best insult people can come up with.
The only thing it has in common with the station's title is two letters and a word.
Thats assuming it doesn't magically RROD the bomb as well before you detonate it.
Make. Believe. Bomb
I wonder what the Wii does
That could be one of the 4,000 PS2 that where purchased by Saddam Hussein about 10 years ago. Must have found its way from Iraq to Afghanistan.
Oops, PS1 controller not PS2.
Wow... First it semibricks itself, then it restores itself... Now it can be used for detonators!
Never have I thought a slogan to be so appropriate...
Damn...
That's nothing new.
There was a news report some time back where Japan restricts exports of PlayStation 2 because it can be used in guided missles.

I've read about that on Wikipedia before. It was around 2000 or something when they claimed that.
YES! I can finally get Blu-ray on my bombs!
PS3 Gravity Grid, PS3 used to emulate black hole...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28895353/
xbox controller:"yep,useless even to terrorist"
ps3:"it only does everything,literally."
wait to see that it's just a big charade orchestrated by American fanboys trying to put the ps3 to shame...
'cause fanboys are THAT pathetic.
My PS3 cooked bacon for me with its overheating ability. It DOES do EVERYTHING!!!
@Anon 17:46
Yes, it is useful.
What USA and NATO are doing in other country?
Killing people.
I hope all American dan NATO soldier die.
So, if you see a Playstation/3 controller, DON'T PICK IT UP!
"Hey, look! A wireless PS/3 controller."
*picks it up and starts hitting buttons*
"Left! Left! Right-Left-Kick!" *BOOOMF*
"Uh, guys? Did you just hear something?...."
i was jogging on my ps3 last night. phew its a better workout than my treadmill!
You guys do know thats a PS2 contorler right?
A PS2 controller has a cord.
Its neither PS2 nor PS3. It's PS1. No analog sticks. Artefact clearly states "playstation". Your stupid slogan is useless here.
Sankaku on the PS3 browser is AWESOME
Yep. It really is useful.
That explosion in the end was actually what happened to some unlucky soul's PS3 after it failed to correct it's internal clock
Useful?!?!
Are you saying that controllers converted into bomb detonators by the Taliban in order to blow up USA and NATO forces is "useful"?
Please, rethink what you just said.
It's useful by the very definition of the word. Whether it is a politically correct (lol) use is another question.
Haha, nice... Glad to see the damn apparatus is useful for something else than playing games and movies.
In pristine 1080p quality.
upscaled from 640p
And tomorrow we'll see Xbox's controller for nuclear or satelite
i lold
ps3's don't brick... unless u force it to brick.
it semi-bricked though.
it was semi-bricked. until it corrected itself somehow.
You do not know what 'bricked' means.
PlayStation = Big bada boom
Taliban Playstation multipass
My PS3 still doesn't make me sandwiches...
maybe if you bitchslapped it, it will.
Try inserting some bread and ham into the BD drive. You'll be surprised! *wink*
