Either way, bloody stupid. Or does his ownership exonerate dumb behaviour now?
I'm not saying that destroying it wasn't dumb, but simply saying 'it's wasteful' isn't really that good of an argument against doing something for amusement. It's rather hard to see it as wasteful for a pure luxury item, which by most definitions is automatically wasteful.

Not when you could've sold it on for more money to buy two later on, or buy something else. If the guy wants to throw away the money he's mustered, then so be it. Doesn't stop me calling it a fucking stupid thing to do which could've had numerous better outcomes than "Wow! Lookit! I'm trashing this console on the intarwebs!!1! I'm so fucking hardcore!".

It would've been more amusing if the sledge whacked his foot accidentally. Stupid Internet videos have to have fools harm themselves by law.

Oh, I get it, you're just bitter that he got a console and smashed it when you Europeans got diddly-squat from Sony. Image

Actually, no. Since even if the PS3 did come out now, I'd not touch it till the price was at least two-hundred bucks cheaper. I may want a PS3 for a certain couple of games eventually, but I'm not about to cut-me-own-throat for the privilege of a half-finished product.

Wii all the way, mate.

I find it funny the general reaction to the Wii's smashing was cheering, clapping and laughing, and the general reaction to the PS3's was booing, crying and moaning.

It's hardly "fucking garbage." It's more or less just an overpriced XBox 360.

Nice +1 post there, though...

More unnecessary bloat, less exclusive, must-play games.

I'm confused as to which you are saying has fewer exclusive must-plays between 360 and PS3.

360 only has a few must plays, of which Gears of War is the main one..(PGR, etc..)

PS3 has the 3rd party power still.

Not yet. Launch titles suck. We'll see what happens after the PS3 has some time to mature (maybe next year).

PS3 has Metal Gear solid 4 and Final Fantasy. What else?

I highly doubt XBox 360 will get MGS4. I just don't see it happening.

Well that's what they said about Sons of Liberty :P
Personally I think MGS4's "omg awesome PS3 capability-graphics!!" is a lot of hype anyway.

1) Correct me if I'm wrong but the Wii I don't believe has the power for MGS4
2) Do the discs even have space?

MSG4 has nothing for it's sake in the graphics department anymore, it's gotten massive downgrades everytime a "gameplay" demo is shown. The latest screenshots from japan makes it look pretty damn average, about CoD 2 level, except browner, much, much browner.

A direct port might not work, but why should that be a problem? RE4 was ported to an inferior platform - as long as the gameplay remains intact it doesn't really matter if the visuals take a hit.

How would MGS work on the Wii anyway?

*imagines thousands of players hunched down and waving their remote around all stealthy like, looking like idiots*

... awesome.
