Is there a ground prong on the power cord? If there is, it's a problem with the cord, the outlet, or your house's wiring. You could wire it up to the ground prong on an outlet to ground it.

Dude, the same thing happens to me! Everytime I try and turn on my PSP I get the crap shocked out of me. My PS3 hates me.
