Level 5
I'm not bothered about a warning being in place to make people aware, but the PS3 one bothers me as it's universally placed onto the start-up screen rather than it being featured in games & films. I don't see how the menu could cos problems to epileptics unless they buy a dazzling theme or flashing wallpaper which I doubt.

LeeRoye, for your information I have cassette game consoles too, but this is just useless since I don't suffer from epilepsy or need a computer to tell me to be aware.
Stop trying to be a smartass.
Whatever mate, the warning is on for 5 seconds, during which time the OS is loading anyway. I cant see the problem, if its all you have to moan about then you must lead a very privelidged life.

I may be too late to do justice to your faulty assumptions, but feel I should point out that you should never laugh at others and especially not after you make such sweeping and incorrect judgements. Be a nicer person, accept that some people wish for a better world, a new hope, a land where we are all truly free equal and loved...... 
I owned a Commodore 64, I do not remember with any fondness the 45min plus loading times of cassettes, but being able to remember these things does not solely give one the right to 'complain', nor does it mean one shouldn't find room for improvement in things that have surpassed what was.
and Warren_Jeeves you may find your own life richer, fuller, maybe even happier, if you just learn to accept that whatever peoples state of being, or situations in life, they will always seek ways to improve that which surrounds them. It seems to be in our human nature and for the most part we probably wouldn't be writing this here on this web forum if this were not so. You could also benefit from the advice I so lovingly passed to LeeRoye above.

I wonder whether they'll place the warning in DVD or BD players on start up. Why have they decided to input the warning solely on the PS3. Epileptic warnings should be mentioned when buying from the store and should be mentioned on anything where flashing images occur. This 'Universally Placed' warning can be mis-leading if the warning is not used as it was designed to do.
"It's like sticking an eplileptic warning on the front door of my house".
