You know them. You more or less hate them. They went through with it. (You may start swearing like a sailor all you want; we won't mind, although the autobleeper will still work). SmashMyPS3 went through, lined up and bought their PS3, and as they advertised, smashed their PS3. In front of a camera. For YouTube uploading. And they call it a "social experiment."

Some people were just hoping that they would be something like fifteenth in line in a store with only 14 PS3s or something... or randomly mugged, BB'd, or offered a PC to smash. But, to be fair, those PS3 campers who were waiting in line while SmashMyPS3 sledgehammered one of Sony's newest babies in front of them, they know now how Xbox fanatics must have felt when SmashMy smashed an Xbox 360.

Which only goes to show: SmashMy's off of Santa's list this Christmas. If they even believe in Santa. Worse yet, SmashMyWii's remaining in their hit list. And with Nintendo promising ample supply, chances are they can and will get their hands on not just one, BUT TWO WIIs (as they advertise in their site). Okay, they're off Hanukkah and Kwanzaa as well.

Anyone who waited in line for a PS3 is a jobless, education-less, GAYLORD that dosen't deserve the PS3 or the Monetary means to buy one. GFY!!!! Also, if I was the SmashPS3 guy, I would have whipped out my dong afterwards and pissed all over the faces of everyone in line!!!!!!!!

OUUUUUUUUUU EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

 » PS3 is massive

At least they proved that the PS3 is much more massive than x360... In fact they couldn't break it into pieces, like they easily could do it to x360.


   Re: NightShade15 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-17
 » Well

Its because its hardware is stacked on each other, it does have moar meat to it, but that just makes it heavier, the 360 is pretty much hallow with a single drive, and a heat synch ontop of the processor.
So I dunno, I can see the Wii being broken into a few pieces, maybe like 6-8 pieces.
But Nintendo has done alot to keep their products still running for quite a awhile.
Its like Nintendo Hired at least 100 preists blessing the products with a virgin olive branch dipped in holy water while they chant incantations. But hardware is getting more and more fragile.

   Re: NightShade15 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-17
 » well

First off: Yes, Spell checker would be nice.
Second off: PS3's SD-TV's graphics physically cant get any better then the 360, only because it cant produce that great of a picture. Now when it comes to 1080p, I can see that the PS3 would excell. For me, I own a xbox 360 on a Tv that can only support up to 1080i, 37'' Sharp Aquos. Supports 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i. My 360 serves me well, no freezing, no over heating. I am pleased with my 360.

 » Really Sad

Sigh... sad really there people out there who makes things to make peoples life’s fun if you can say that even though they are making money its a shame peoples response to that is to break lots of peoples hard work into pieces to prove what exactly, people do not appreciate what they are given without these consoles imagine how things would have been. Now to break it in front of those people who have been waiting for days is a slap in the face if they didn’t get one.

It is a slap in the face. Did you not realise that was the point? Sony sucks, and that's what sony fanboys deserve.

   Re: White Night (Unregistered) - 2006-11-17
 » true...

Ah yes, they wasted money, but not their money.
In fact, it was donated to them, which begs the question: If it was donated to them for that purpose, is it a waste?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

The only thing I found funny about this is that there are so few PS3s to go around. To know that there was one destroyed simply for the sake of destroying it is truely funny.

I didnt spend 3 days in line to watch this either! I didnt spend three days in line at all! And im glad i didnt. ps3 is just WAY TOO HYPED.
Nothing, not even a cure for aids, should have everybody so worked up. sony is an irresponsible company for causing all this commotion and violence and panic

Wasted their money isn't our problem, but they're stupid throwing $600 like that, if i were them i would've made a dummy PS3 and smash it to bits use the money on buying something more useful rather than smashing.

LOL I was there, standing in line with those guys, as soon as I saw what that fur jackass was wearing while inside, I couldn't stop laughing he had this thin asian girl following him around like Yoko... I just hope he overdoses, what a fker and I didn't even get a unit, after waiting overnight...

Oh ya the guy who comes up to take a look at the damaged PS3 he was first in line, and I gave him a cheeseburger!

The other dude at the end calling him a douche! (the focker who broke the bought PS3) I was talking too at the end of the line and we got shafted by Bestbuy... !#$%

If I knew he was gonna break the PS3 I swear lol not even me, I swear the whole mob woulda rushed him... luckily I got a preorder but still...

I actually liked that a lot.

Since i didnt have to camp out for a couple days to get my 360 like a loser i found this video quite entertaining.

If i had the money i would buy a 360, PS3, and a Wii and put them on the ground stacked on top of each other and then i would pour lighter fluid on them then light a match and watch the fireworks.

WHOOOOOOO!
