I found this kinda funny, it looks like they pulled the image directly from this site.

I found that article annoying for some reason. I mean it was still funny, but annoying also. Sounds like it was written by some 50 year old business man who's kid just got a gosh darned Playstation 360 video game device. The modding section especially. Reminds me of the abstinence episode of family guy. "Not only do condoms fail 100% of the time, they're also majorly unsafe. Hey, you wouldn't put a plastic bag over your grandma's head, would you?"

Ditto! This was definitely not written by a gamer. :?

It's obvious that the author was bribed a bit to put that in there. I have the way that they say "Those" Unauthorized Modifications. They just had to include that "those" in there. That just makes me mad.

My coworker was looking at this site and I'm like "It's a Saturn chip!"

To be fair, his point holds true for modern consoles, because the risk of banning is real. They just picked a hilarious example of a mod that no one who actually would read this article would do.

My grandma once asked my younger brother if he had one of those "playbox 3's". :lol:

My precious Saturn warranty!
I find most Yahoo articles are written by people who know nothing about their assigned topic. Not just on video games, everything.
