When all is said and done, it's just a bunch of circuits and chips.

Have you seen their price on eBay? Absolutely ridiculous.

Oh I'll be on the edge of my seat for the comprehensive version. Be sure to post the link to the DVD so that I can order it in time for Xmas.

Stop upvoting these idiots!

hahaha... that was great. I love the angry nerds. Best $600 they ever spent. Nobody deserves to be mocked more than these PS3 assclowns waiting in lines.

I'd beg to differ, those assclowns aren't really there to buy the system, they are there to re-sell it on Ebay for close to 2,500 US.

YESSSSSS....

What is best in life? To crush your PS3, see it smashed before you, and to hear the lamentation of the fanboys!

The tackier the clothing, the higher the youtube ratings.

How is buying something and then destroying it anti-consumerism? Seems to me he consumed that particular product in no time at all. And it contains an advertisment for his website! More like recklessly wasteful consumerism.

Alternatively: attention seeking nerds acting out.

Boo hiss.

I too am waiting for the point to this.

From the site's FAQ:
"Aren't you helping Sony by buying their product?
I got nothing against Sony making money. This project only exists for the sole purpose of providing satisfaction to people who hate the Play Station 3, or just like seeing the reaction of the people who just spend a day in line to get their hands on one of these consoles. Entertainment, nothing more!"

Ah. So it's not anti-consumerism at all. It's just donation-funded schadenfreud.

Gayest video title ever. Anti-consumerism is *not* buying a PS3. Buying one for the sole purpose of destroying it on the street is, in fact, wanton consumerism. Which is no doubt why he was dressed as a pimp. :

What's up with the title change? This has nothing to do with anti-consumerism. This is all about screwing with a bunch of people who have wayyyyy too much time on their hands.

"This is all about screwing with a bunch of people who have wayyyyy too much time on their hands."

When someone make videos designed to mock particular people and builds a website for doing so, it strikes me as questionable to say the people being mocked have too much free time.

I have changed the title to reflect a more accurate description of the video and also changed the tag to reflect the fact that the video has an alterer motive for profit.

Sheesh, a waste of money. I'd be happy to take it if they didn't want it.

So, are we going to see a Wii getting smashed too?

I am going to say that the fact people are willing to pay $600 dollars for a gaming computer is just sad. Worse is the ones who will pay more than that. Its just a machine wait a year until price goes down (hopefully) and fixed the bugs.
Me personally I'm cheap I haven't bought a PS2 or an XBOX yet because I still think at 125 for a PS2 is still too expensive.

Same thing with smashmyxbox.com. BTW the amount of technology that's put into both xbox 360 and ps3, 600 is, dare i say, reasonable. They are true supercomputers.
