At least they weren't total wusses about it like they were with the Xbox 360 one... is that the one I'm thinking of?

It would only impress me if that had gotten a PS3 for free and then smashed it. So they pay an enormous sum of money to get it early and then smash it without using the thing? I wonder who is laughing?

That last guy has a point, what's the point? It can't be just for the hell of it can it? I mean they stood in line for how long, to just smash the thing.
I dunno know it seemed silly and pointless.

How is that pointless?  The point is that it's just a fucking PS3 and that it's awfully funny to smash one in front of a whole bunch of people who'd probably saw their own legs off to get one.

I dunno...taking donations to do something like that seems strange. How about take that PS3 and donate it to Childs Play or something.

Idol wins.

EDIT: I personally thought the whole thing was pretty stupid, the guy didn't even really get a huge reaction from the crowd, so it wasn't even funny in that regard.

Yeah, these tards have been doing "SmashMy[insert product].com" shit for a while. I think there was even a Lamborghini Gallardo smashing once.

Anyway, I thought this was relevant to the PS3 discussion, Playstation fan ditches PS3 for a free PC(I didn't feel like starting a new thread).

Summary:

Playstation fan gives up his right to ever own a PS3 to get a free computer worth thousands of dollars.

Something I would have totally done, considering I have no intention of owning a console really.

Because watching people suffer is infinitely more gratifying than helping them?

That's the thing though I didn't really see anyone suffer, a couple of people were amused(the ones taking pictures) and everyone else in the crowd just blew him off.  If someone had had a fit of rage or gotten really mad it would have been funny, but nothing really happened.

Well sure, but that isn't his fault.  That's entirely crowd-dependent.  He just happened to be unlucky enough to do it in front of a sane crowd.  And you know the first guy in line that ends up having to walk away without one is going to be pissed as hell.  Well, more pissed as hell than he'd have been otherwise.

I would've done it, too. Hell yeah!!

I'll take a $2000+ PC over a $600 console anyday -- AND sign that "I can't own a PS3" contract!

I think my reply to this has already been posted by others, if they did get a big reaction then I guess the above would apply as beig the point but... they didn't get one. All I saw was a 2 kids wasting both time and money to smash something for a laugh and not even get a reaction.

But again, that isn't the fault of the concept, only the fault of the crowd.  Bad luck if you ask me.  I'm sure there would have been plenty of other places where the people would've gone apeshit.
