The guys from SmashMyIpod.com are at it again. This time, their victim is the PlayStation 3. In order to pull of such a stunt, they simply raised money from donations, bought a PS3 at launch, and smashed it in front of fanboys. It's as easy as that.

The only real problem is the fact that no one was really upset about the whole incident -- other than one person shown at the end of the clip. Hopefully, when the extended version is released in a few days, we will be able to see some raw emotion.

If you skip over this video, not only will you miss the death of a PS3, you will also miss a guy in a pimp outfit. And we all know that pimps + PS3 smashing = match made in heaven.

I watched this while in a meeting. It was all I could do from just yelling out "AWESOME" to my boss and co-workers.

These guys need to come up with a new idea. It lost its effect after the third or fourth time they smashed something. Maybe if the PS3 smashing started a riot...

You guys rock for posting the video instead of just lousy screens like that crappy game blog owned by AOL.

I dont mind the smashing annything though, its just one of the whole bunch and they paid of it so its theyr money (or the donator's) they are smashing there.

Does anybody know if what the dude at the end said is true? Did they buy a second unit to put on eBay?

It's pretty harcore to go out, drop $600 on a console then smash it. But if in the end you are still gonna make a profit on it (~$2500 - (2 x $600) = $1300 profit) then it's kinda lame.

I would have been funny if they'd had to get the bundle with 8 games though.

Honestly who cares. Now if they had the last PS3 in a 100 mile radius or so and they gathered like 50 people around for a raffle for the "ps3 prize". Then after they wasted everyones time.. say an hour or so.. the winner comes up only to watch them smash his prize.. the last ps3 in the immediate area.. that would be better. That there video is gonna suck cut or uncut.

Smashing expensive stuff for no real reason is stupid. What is cool about it at all. I could care less that it's a PS3, the whole concept is just stupid. That being said, that friggen PS3 is built like a friggen tank. You would think one hit w/ a sledge would smash ANY console to a thousand pieces. So remember kids, if someone throws a PS3 at you, duck and cover. That's right, duck and cover.

Holyetheline: You won't be looking at www.smashmywii.com when it launches I guess.

It's not stupid, it's supply and demand

People always love violence and this is a great result of it

They spent all that time in line, NOT you, so what gives you the right to tell them what they can and can't do with it?

I am disappointed by the lack of smashing. When smashing is promised, I expect it in several pieces.

That was a pretty sweet pimp outfit though.

That thing took one hell of a beating. It seems to be a hell lot more durable than the PS2.

I like the one guy that goes "Can I have the controller?" in the background
