Smashing fanboy hopes and dreams, one console at a time! XD

While surfing the net for a while, I came accross these... somewhat interesting sites:

http://www.smashmyxbox.com/
http://www.smashmyps3.com/
http://www.smashmyrevolution.com/

They claim "This is only a social experiment, for the entertainment of the donors, and visitors of this site." sooo I dono how trust worthy it is... although if they really plan to do this... I hope they videotape it, so we can see the look on peoples faces when they smash the console! XD

Quote:

From the creators of SmashMyiPod.com, we bring you, SmashMyXbox.com!
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. The whole thing will be shot on film, and displayed on this site. This is only a social experiment, for the entertainment of the donors, and visitors of this site.

BTW, my first impression of these sites, was... "OMG HOW COULD THEY"... then i lightened up and saw that this could be somewhat funny... XD

They're hoping people donate money to their cause... XD And they are shooting for $350 for the Rev, $430 for the 360, and $400 for the PS3.
I think they're overshooting the price for the Rev thought. lol
I find it pretty funny that they are close to getting enough money for the 360 already... while PS3 barely has any money. Course the 360 is real close to being out.

Anyway, I'd never donate money to such a thing... (I dont want to cause the destruction of any console, plus I'm super poor right now.lol) But it will be funny enough, just to see the video after they do this. XD

O man, this is completely awesome beyond belief. It's something I'd probably do to someone just to annoy them. I totally want to donate.

It's only humorous if they play the song from Office Space when they smash the fax machine (Geto Boys - Still).

It'd be funnier if they just smashed a fanboys console.

The thing is that it's only going to upset people who couldn't get their hands on one. If I was standing in line and I was going to get one my reaction would be "Man, what a dumb smurf."

hahahahaha! *cute ebil laugh* X3

I can't wait to see SmashMyXbox LOL good thing it will be the first one out! haha

Although, if I was one of the fans getting my Revolution, or PS3 X3 I'd probably be pretty upset...

But I wont get stuff on opening day... so it will be funny to see these vids! X3

I'd give the xbox one some money... if i have some extra before launch day. lol

I saw this as "Smashing Fanboys", and immediately clicked without reading the rest.

What a bummer.

Seems like a lame effort to me.

"Hey, let's do something utterly pointless and unproductive, just to annoy some people who we don't know at all!"

That pretty much sums up half of what's on the internet.

I thought this would be about how bad each console was, and I was going to say "Well all I want from my PS3 is for it to tell me it loves me at night and then hold me." and now you've ruined everything so I hate you. Just so you know.

Ehh... kinda pointless. Pretty screwed up for that one guy that didn't get his 360 because of these guys.

yah... anti-climatic... O_o

heck, I could have done a better job, and it would have pissed off more people. XD

Wonder why they were in such a *middle of no where* kind of place o_O.
They should have done this in california, at one of the big best buys, at midnight on the launch (meaning they would have to be there longer than anyone else) granted they may not live there, or have enough time for that... but it would have been better... and they could have done it in front of hundreds... instead of just like 5 people. XD

Agreed. It was a total waste considering the amount of people that could have seen it... and therefore exploded.
