Static and electronics don't mix...that's why. It's a slim chance but, you could end up frying the PS3 due to all the static coming off a tv screen. Sony HAS to put every detail in there, cause if they didn't, somebody would be like "Hey! You never said that putting a PS3 next to a tv would fry it!"
Think of it as birth control. They say it's 99% effective. Yeah, it's 100% effective when you use it EXACTLY like it's supposed to be used, but they can't say that because they'd get the crap sued out of them.
don't think anyone should trip out on it just because some dude decided to read some fine print lol... it's been over a year there hasn't been any issues with this... just some guy with time on his hands stirring up a buzz.
don't CRT's mainly have that static thing. I've never noticed the static on my LCD. And my PS3 is right next to it and I've never had any problems. I don't have enought room to put it any farther away from it...

Yeah i know my house caught fire when i was 5 because of static in my TV(A faulty componant in the tv allowed a build up).
Haha, now that I reread what it says it the safety and support manual, I think I misread it. It says: "Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from television screen." I now see they meant the user and not the device, so you won't have seizures. Sorry, my mistake, I wasn't trying to stir up **** I swear! I love my PS3! Ratchet rules and HS would have AAA written all over it if it was 12-15 hours long! I was just looking out for my fellow PS3 users, I figured some kind of interference could mess up the TV in the long run.
