Anytime you use something for anything other than its intended use, I dig it. Make toast with a blowtorch? Cool. Fry an egg on a car engine? Awesome. Use a Nintendo DSi as a wrecking ball? Fantastic.
French gaming magazine Amusement (creepy webpage) really wanted to put a DSi through a wall, I guess. They did, and the photographic result is everything you'd hope it would be. The DSi spits in half, of course, but it makes it through a wall successfully, taking wall pieces with it.
If they were shooting portable game systems, I would have wanted to try a TurboExpress, batteries and all. That lil' bitch was heavy, so it could have done some major damage.

I never held a TurboExpress, so I cant comment on that, but my choice for portable-system-through-a-wall would have been a Sega Nomad. Those suckers were gigantic. The Nomad would probably put a basketball sized hole in the wall and still function. For about 10 minutes at least until it ran out of batteries...
Wasteful stunt is wasteful, but many stunts are so meh.
it's plywood -_-
Bwahaha, Colette amusement club.
But a very odd site, nonetheless.
