Oh, the humanity!

Wow. Just wow.

Ever see Deliverance? Substitute a PS3 for Ned Beatty and you've got the sequel right here.

That laugh will haunt me forever. Oh, and NSFW.

Stupid rednecks... Can't even handle the greatness that is the PS3, so they do the one thing they are able to: clumsily destroy it.

This guys are absolutely insane! I mean for one they are totally dumb asses. Who in the right mind would pay $600 for something and destroy it just because they hate it? Sickos who have nothing better to do and were probably inbred. I bet they bought the PS3, took their Xbox 360 and put it inside the PS3 box and did all that to it. I personally think its a hoax since at no time did he show the inside of the box. It would have been funny if the PS3 used it's psychic powers to grab the chainsaw from him and cut him right through the middle ala Gears of War style. That would have been hysterical! Play B3yond Bit#@! Play B3yond!

Chucky @ Nov 26th 2006 10:50PM

Losers. They definitely did not waste $600. They could have easily removed the PS3 and put some bricks or something in there. No one is THAT stupid.

Alijah Green @ Nov 26th 2006 11:12PM

Fuck PS3 and its fanboys for being so stupid. Look her for the truth you dick faces. http://feeds.joystiq.com/~r/weblogsinc/joystiq/~3/54290910/

CONFUSEDgam3r @ Nov 26th 2006 11:13PM

i saw this vid on kotaku. It is as stupid here as it was there. they defenitly did not destroy a ps3 in that vid. The box they threw was too far in the air for it to have weighed 10lbs.

XBOX360 dogs FTW! LOL

That video was dumb. Sorry if you can't understand me.

Adi @ Nov 26th 2006 11:29PM

What does FTW mean?

Jonathan Greene @ Nov 26th 2006 11:40PM

wow, all I can say is why are there no videos of ps3 fans killing a 360? taste perhaps? intelligence? I think the video-camera man's laugh, as well as his horribly shakey video skills say enough. Please stop trying to make us feel bad, we all know you just wanted one for yourselves.
Did anyone notice the hubcap fire pit? jesus christ is crying in heaven.

pavof @ Nov 27th 2006 12:03AM

Note how we never see the inside of the box.
I think that PS3 is sitting next to his xbox360 right now

Roofus @ Nov 27th 2006 12:26AM

#4, thanks for that. Here is another link that you might enjoy.
http://blogs.ign.com/Ted-Insomniac/2006/10/19/
It's the one where a Resistance developer said 2 items were dropped out of Resistance to drop the final file size to 16GB. Oh, and he said that 38 days ago. Which means the little conspiracy all you 360 masterbaters think you found is something that the publisher announced themselves almost a full month before the game launched. lol@joo

hrf3420 @ Nov 27th 2006 12:26AM

I agree. I'll believe that they did that when I see the burnt PS3.

Traveller @ Nov 27th 2006 12:27AM

Im a Nintendo fan and dont really like the PS3. But that was incredibly stupid, if they really did destroy it they are crazy. Wasting $600 just to do that.

stud @ Nov 27th 2006 12:35AM

Well there are a few videos i have seen around that did similar to the xbox 360 when it first came out..

Overall its a pity that website like this show there videos i mean come on its just a attention seekers that are bored.

Myself im a xbox 360 fan but i also understand other people will like the nintendo Wii and the playstation 3

George @ Nov 27th 2006 12:47AM

stupid 360 fans. dont they understand that its just video games its not their whole life. they act like they are defneding a family member or something. to think that someone can spend money on a video game system which is perfectly normal but to destroy it.... com on get a life, their just fucking video games.

Night Elve @ Nov 27th 2006 12:57AM

@ Alijah Green.

Wow just wow, you know calling others Fanboys makes you a Fanboy too.

By the way, insulting people just because the PlayStation 3 is their console choice well it shows one of two things: or you are a little spoiled child or you are a very immature person.

Your choice.

~ Cheers guys!

Zelo @ Nov 27th 2006 1:18AM

@ 14

Or because its fun,

just putting it out there

Pete @ Nov 27th 2006 1:25AM

Of all the people who got robbed with good intentions outside of retail stores for the PS3, why didn't they get this guy before he did this dumb sh**. For the sake of his sanity, I hope there wasnt a PS3 in the box. I also hope I get a job where I can have $600 (+tax) to burn.

Andy @ Nov 27th 2006 1:28AM

obviously not real, if it were real they'd want to show the actual ps3 they destroyed after the chainsaw, not just the box.

Kwipper @ Nov 27th 2006 1:52AM

As a PS2 fan, I really don't like the direction Sony went with the PS3, I know I won't be buying the system. However, I really wish the guys showed that the PS3 was actually inside the box, thereby showing that they really destroyed the system inside it. But alas they did not. Which means that I am pretty sure that they did not actually destroy the system. I am wondering if they even gone as far as to stick a piece of plastic or something inside it to make it seem like something was being destroyed inside the box.

I want evidence that this PS3 has been destroyed! I want to see this system ripped apart and its circuitry and wires strewn across the trees like Christmas decorations! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Jamaicangmr @ Nov 27th 2006 1:53AM

i was hoping they would of actually opened the box and prove that the PS3 was in the actual box. Besides for something thats 11lbs it flew through the air too lite the way the box spun. I seriously doubt these idiots actually distroyed their $600 investment. But if they did they need to know they aren't hurting Sony are changing any minds. They just waisted $600 for what exactly. lol!

Whats funny is this is the 2nd video that i've seen of someone recking a PS3 and in both the PS3 almost won lol! I love idiots they make the net fun lol!

Pipe @ Nov 27th 2006 1:58AM

@ 15

that would be under immature person

Pat @ Nov 27th 2006 4:08AM

Like they actually would cut up and burn $600 worth of sweet, sweet PS3. Box was probably empty.

aviel @ Nov 27th 2006 4:18AM

guys someone did it before, and did showed in the vid how the PS3 itself is being smashed. Worth a look...

http://smashmyps3.com/

Any consolemaker @ Nov 27th 2006 5:08AM

If they're sooo bored to do that, does it mean that:
1) Are they tired playing 360?
2) Are they afraid that the Ps3 will succeed?
3) Are they just insane?

Do they have any child? If so, please protect those children's minds from these freaky "parents"
Please.

chrismaida @ Nov 27th 2006 5:41AM

i bet there was no ps3 in the box, they didnt bother to show wut it looked like after it had supposeably been chainsawed there just trying to copy the smash my ps3 video. and there inbred cousin fuckers

the legend that b @ Nov 27th 2006 7:37AM

stupid red necks if they were really die hard xbox fans why would they go buy a ps3 1st of all and second they would show the console being destroyed if they hated it that much its a load of crap and i dectect alot of jelousy from these eidiots

Andir2.0 @ Nov 27th 2006 8:45AM

"Are they afraid that the Ps3 will succeed?"

I've come to the same conclusion. There wouldn't be so much anti-hype unless they were afraid. :)

K @ Nov 27th 2006 8:59AM

It made me feel impotent. What's wrong with all of you people? If we only mind in gaming, it doesn't matter wich console do you have. I only see a XBOX 360 like a console that is between the prices of a Nintendo Wii and a Playstation 3. If I could have the three coonsoles, I would have them. When you begin to take sides, and fanatize with ideas about those sides, you take offensive actions against other people who doesn't think like you.

Jonathan Greene @ Nov 27th 2006 9:15AM

Edit: i answered my own question the reason is the 360 killed itself. it caught on fire from the inside, man, aint that a shame. We didnt even need to do it for you.

Pulse @ Nov 27th 2006 11:26AM

Does that guy have a girlfriend, he looks like the type that sits in the corner of a club and gets ignored because he is too geeky, lol

Eric @ Nov 27th 2006 11:46AM

I agree the ps3 is overpriced and the 360 is a better system but no way in hell I would buy one to destroy it.
That's just dumb.

Microdot @ Nov 27th 2006 11:48AM

"Does that guy have a girlfriend?"

think about that for a second....

1. he spent $600 on a game console for the explicit purpose of destroying it. how many girlfriends/wives have you had that were cool with you blowing $600?

2. he had $600 to blow. see the above.

on a side note... i see this as more of a dig at 360 fans than at ps3 fans. it just oozes idiocy... almost over the top. if i had to guess... i would say this was a ps3 fan, the box is empty because its hooked up in their living-room, and the idiocy is just over the top to show how ridiculous this crap has gotten. i mean... he's practically drooling on himself.

Hired.Geek @ Nov 27th 2006 12:24PM

You know if you really wanted to get your five minutes of fame. A much better way would be to get a PS3 and then auction it off for some charity.

Honestly I wish more retailers would do this with most of their stock of these launch consoles so that all the extra money generated from these consoles could be put to good use instead of some scalpers pocket off eBay.

cubeboy101 @ Nov 27th 2006 12:24PM

ha ha ha ha ha ha button bash fanboys your all morons ps3 zealots and bill gates rent boys obsolete controllers you idiots geting all shirty over a ps3 its OBSOLETE SO IS 360

BUTTON BASHING SCUM

NO SELF RESPECTING GAMER BUYS A 1996 D-PAD BASED CONTROLLER BASED CONSOLE IN 2006/7 ITS JUST STUPID

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ALL THE WAY

naruto007 @ Nov 27th 2006 1:08PM

its obvious they just grab a ps3 box from the garbage,but some crap inside and smash hit,cut it,burn it. if you see at the end when the box its allmost totally burn the camera vision gets very dark so no one can see whats inside the box.

conclusion:get a life morron you are to fucking old to acting like that

Narhan @ Nov 27th 2006 3:20PM

It's hilarious how people such as these buy the PS3 and don't even realize how they are supporting it and not causing any damage to Sony. They literally just handed 600 US DOLLARS directly to Sony.

But it was obviously a PS3 box with a block of wood in it.

KirkH @ Nov 27th 2006 5:09PM

At first, I thought, "yeah, like these dumb rednecks actually have a spare $600 lying around to do this." Then, I realized that if you're 30 years old, still live at home with your parents, and pull in a modest income at Burger King for the 14 years since you dropped out of high school, you could probably save up that much money. Heck, he's probably an assistant manager by now.

CGL @ Nov 27th 2006 6:09PM

I'm not a PS3 fanboy, but spending 600 dollars for your 5 mintues of internet induced fame seems rather stupid. If he had fun and thinks it was worth it, then he can buy as many PS3's as he can get his hands on and blow them up however he deems fit.

Pulse @ Nov 27th 2006 6:43PM

This guy is a looser, how old is he? 13 maybe 11, cos that is the sorta braindead thing a kid would do, obviosly he sits at home all day on his 360 with no gf living with his parents cos hes too much of a nerd to go out and work for a living like the bloody rest of us.

Luckily he doesn't live here in England, heck no am I paying my share of tax to go to his lazy geeky ass!

Word of advice mate: Get a life, cos that, that, that is just .....sad.....really sad.

It really does suprise me how how fortunate I am to not be so game nerdy, this guy really is an offense to 360 fans around the world. I say all you 360 fans rush him as he steps out of his house, hes making you look bad.

Adam Pflug @ Nov 27th 2006 6:55PM

Am I the only one who was struck by the fact that it probably is not possible to cut a PS3 in half with a chain saw? PS3 has an aweful lot of metal in it, and if you've ever hit a metal spike while cutting wood you know that chainsaws definately dont go through metal like they showed. It also would make a very VERY different noise. I dont think the box was empty, their dropping the log on it and the weight it seemed to have show that they at least put a wood block in it.. But still, no way would you destroy it in the box unless you didnt want people to see what was actually in it.

bob @ Nov 27th 2006 7:09PM

i know these guys and they really had an old sega genisis in the box.

Eaton @ Nov 27th 2006 7:17PM

Humm.. you know.. I can Smash , cut and burn a box too!!

so , who to say there is just a few old computer bords or hell, just stuffed with wood thats about the shape of a PS3 and fits in the packaging!..

Redneck tools.. con-artist's like that give rednecks a bad name.

Evan @ Nov 27th 2006 7:53PM

Wow! This guy is so cool... What, he looks like he could be in his thirties, and he's acting like an idiot. there's no need to destroy the PS3 (waist of money), even if there wasn't one in there.
Why do XBox360 fans keep complaining about the PS3? you just sound like idiots.

douche bag killer @ Nov 27th 2006 9:07PM

WTF!! these bastards deserve so be shot. they obviously got bored of fuskingh each other and decided to do the stupidest thing possible. and if i find out who the fuck they r, im gonna go to there houses and smash their fuckin 360's over their heads.

johnny @ Nov 27th 2006 11:13PM

First of all, this video is B3YOND fake!! I own a PS3 and it is far too heavy to be tossed that far. Second, no redneck hillbilly would be able to afford both a PS3 and a 360. He is probobly a PSfanboy that wants to be famous. They never showed the actual console and I dont think the chainsaw would have cut through the console so easily. Therefore, this is a fake act to become famous through Youtube.com and everyone that hates the 360. For the record I own a 360 and its a battery changing,defecting, buy a seperate HD hard drive piece of shit..

Jon @ Nov 28th 2006 12:41AM

Hillarious 360 hillbillies. Here's the psychology, if you spent !!$600!! on the ps3 and chainsaw it, you would at least open up the box and see your own WORK OF ART! They are undoubtedly faking it. They cant even afford to buy one, and probably stole the box from some neighbour's trashcans and stuff it with Atari 2600..or a Sega Saturn(big enough to fit the box).

These losers are making a fool out of themselves,I really hope those canines bite their nuts off.

cheezedog420 @ Nov 28th 2006 12:50AM

My money is on the empty box theory, with a heavy side order of playing the part of 360 fan boys.... After all, if it was really real, don't you think Xbox 360 Fanboy would pick up on it first?

pk @ Nov 28th 2006 1:16AM

I agree. no Proof.

Tom @ Nov 28th 2006 11:19AM

If that was real then I feel very sick right now. (vomit traveling up asphogus.)

notafanboy @ Nov 28th 2006 1:20PM

ok so what are we up to now? ~54 or so comments (might be one submitted as i am writing) and most of you can't understand the whole point??? This is called "ART" people. This guy is just wanting to get a reaction, not just from you fanboys but from everyone.
People calling this guy a redneck and idiot and people saying he's dumb and stupid for "wasting" the supposed $600 on a PS3 (which he probably didn't even do in the first place, hence no post-destruction pics)......you guys are morons.
Anyone that gets a reaction like this guy does gets my respect, just like those guys at the other websites destroying the ps3.
I respect them because it brings out the real idiots that post stuff like "OH, he needs to be shot, that moron"......SHOT???? Are you F'ing KIDDING?? I know people have been shot over much lesser things than a PS3 but WTF? seriously?
If you guys can't take a little joke like this or can't take seeing a piece of metal and plastic get destroyed, then I PRAY that you never have to actually see a real life tragedy like a massive carwreck or a RL death or someone.....you might just go insane, you fanboys...

I hope i speak for most of the people out there
