Michigan schoolboy was burned by his PSP earlier today. According to the report, "Police said the the fire burned a hole in his pants and the child suffered minor burns." Police determined the PSP battery overheated and exploded, causing the child to be sent to the hospital.

PSP explosions are rare to find, but some third party batteries have been known to do just that. Police will still be investigating the case.

gosh. what a news.

LOL that sucks

wow, one of the lucky few

PSP burned a kid !

wow that's rare, maybe that was a cheap-imitation battery or the kid was messing making a pandora.... that sucks

WHOA that was rare. Lucky he made it out alright. Holy fuck look at that image.

awwwww sad.... i feel sorry for the psp ^^

damn that sucks for the kid...i wonder if the parents could sue for that

thats not cool

the baterry was some third party crap for 5$

And how would you know?

I believe that the battery was a third party battery, but it could also happen to an old school sony battery. It just depends on how old the PSP is.

Or maybe it overheated cause it was in his pocket. We don't know for sure and probably never will.

man that sucks. But he should have been paying attention rather than playing his psp.

gotta make you avoid cheap batteries.

wtf???

oh my, i hope he is ok

wtf

yoh...atleast his thigh is intact
