Lol @ screenshot.

First time I've heard a girl on the news getting health issues over excessive video gaming. Meh, they're always the slow ones.

Anyway, won't your hands really hurt from that gripping?

Quote:Called "PlayStation palmar hidradentitis" by the scientists, the skin disorder can cause painful lesions on the palms similar to patches found on the soles of children's feet after taking part in heavy physical activity, they said.

Aren't these just blisters? Or is there something foul in the plastic of the controllers causing this condition :O

Also...havent the playstation controller held the exact same shape since the ps1??
