Video: PSP popularity in Russia, guys steal huge PSP from street ad

This is just absolutely crazy. Fine, it's not news, but... if you wanted to see how popular the PSP is in Russia, here's a video showing two guys stealing a 4-foot PSP displayed in a street stand advertisement!

It's not as big as the giant PSP billboard they have in New York, but damn, I wouldn't mind having one of these myself. It could make a nice poker table - a good headboard for my bed, even.

Now I don't know about you, but is it just me or does this video have "viral marketing" written all over it?

I wonder

Where's he gonna get a UMD that big?
by D4rklord - 2009-01-22 11:21:52
Which one?

Would that be considered a phat or a slim psp?

.

Whats up with this "camera cell phone generation"? I mean, why are there so many idiots filming themselfes while commiting crimes? And on top of that they publish it in the internet. Just look at all those "a beat this guy till he needs to stay in the hospital" and "look how cool I am because I break this thing here" videos.

Entertainment. They risk themselves for our guilty pleasures. It doesn't hurt anyone but them, so I'm not worried at all.

They don't hurt anyone except for the ones they send to hospital and the ones who belong the stuff they broke.

fake

This is 100% not true. It could happen, but this one is fake. Just because the PSP stand was open. Normaly it wouldnt open tha easily. And their speech sometimes dosent make sence.

Duh...

Obviously a viral ad...
by 3vi1 - 2009-01-24 07:56:30
Fake

If it wasn't fake, they'd at least have blurred out the guys face before uploading it. REALLY bad acting when he's opening the display.
