"After we collect $430 in donations, we will take that money to a local unspecified retailer, which opens at 12am on the launch date. We will purchase the Xbox 360, and destroy it in front of the other Xbox fanboys who are already waiting in line. We will try to be at the very front of the line."

A local radio station in Portland did a similar thing, only they used a steamroller:

I guess they gave people a chance to 'save' it and take it home, but no one got the trivia right lol. More pics: http://www.buckheadshow.com/photos_main.php?eventID=833

But oddly enough Microsoft got the money for the 360s and took 2 consoles out of the system for people who actually wanted to buy them. Seems like they did a favor for Bill Gates.

Only in....

but I dont have to complete that sentence

Horrible. THe video sucks, it's too long, and they should have smashed it in the store. There are only like 3 people standing around when they actually do it. It's a good idea but horribly exicuted. I also would find it funnier if they were actually fanboys but they are doing all systems.

Not really. It costs a lot more than the sale price to make the console, they're all sold at a loss. Profit comes from game sales, and dead X-boxes don't play games so good.

And yeah, the video does suck, it's just the idea that's entertaining.

Not all consoles are sold at a lose, it's just nex gen atm, each xbox is sold at about 200$ loss, each 360 is estimated at 738$ but sold for 400$. It's funny cause MS Xbox/Game department made -2 billion last year lol.. Well they did buy Rare for like 350mil they also bought bungie and some other properties so it's not as bad as it sounds lol. Ohh and sombody correct me on the exact figures cause i forgot the specifics but the 350mil for rare is correct, it's how they got Perfect dark =)

PS: The Smash my Xbox thing is not only old, their was already a topic about this when the 360 came out 8)

Looking on their forums, I found a link to some rap music radio station(who claimed to broke a Xbox, but using the site's footage). The guy is white and possibly the gayest motherfucker ever.

Somethingawful.com had a thing to say about this site:

Alright here's the premise. A web site offers to buy an Xbox 360 on launch day and smash it to bits. Only caveat? You buy it. I imagine a bunch of guys got together and said to themselves, "OH MY GAWD DUDES WE'RE GONNA BLOW EVERYONE'S MIND!!" Okay, it's a clever idea and I admit it's a little intriguing. You'll get a lot of people to watch the video and you'll make a shitload on Google AdSense until Google emails you and threatens to take away the three dollars you made off of their service if you keep writing dirty words on your web site.

The end result of this "social experiment" is a half-assed video that barely lives up to the hype. It's boring. It's poorly edited. The music sucks. The people in it are annoying. Everything about it is just terrible. It's hardly what the web site promised it to be.

Hundreds of fanboys? There were like six people there. So you impressed a bunch of idiots standing around a Best Buy. Big deal. When the guy took a sledgehammer to the Xbox that dumb fuck could barely lift the thing up. I could think of a lot better ways of destroying an Xbox 360 than taking a sledgehammer to it in front of a bunch of 14 year olds.

You morons could have blown it up, chucked it into the underside of a lawn mower, or used a catapult to fling it into a brick wall. Put it in a microwave, drop it from an airplane, eat it. Shoot it with a rifle, stick it in your ass, put meat in it and let a rottweiler tear it to shreads to get to the meat. Throw it in a whale's mouth, set it on fire, DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU ULTIMATELY DID.

Sure, they might get a little bit of traffic for their site as a result of being the awful link of the day on this prestigious web site what with these Internet links and all. They might even make a couple bucks in the process. But they'll have to go to sleep every night knowing that they blew their one chance to create a truly exciting video of an Xbox 360 being destroyed in the most creative way possible and betrayed the trust of their naive donors in the process. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

The funniest thing about this is that this is the "rough draft". What are they doing to do, release a special edition with new scenes and CGI Dewbacks in the background? How can it get any better than this masterpiece? Hey, I'm not surprised these guys are from Canada. Yeah that's right Canada, YOU FUCKED IT UP AGAIN.

Anybody can solicit money on the Internet to buy something and record themselves destroying it. But it takes a real man to do it well.

Maybe my hearing is going bad, but the dude's voice almost resembles your's Shaede XD

[Khelek]

Why on earth would you destroy a PS3? that's stupid... You destroy an X-box cause it's horrible and doesn't belong on the market in the first place.

and I love the movie <3 even though it sucked as a movie... I want to do that too. now.
