:S Spend $500 just to smash it up in front of strangers?

[Brian M. Veteran]

Reminds me of the "will it blend" craze from a couple of years ago. Madness.

[SecretAgentMan]

I will never purchase another Sony product again after going through so many faulty Walkmans, televisions and consoles over the years but if one was given to me I would never do that.  That is just crazy.  :o

[psionicinversion]

wow dont even think the Sony Defence Force would do that!!! either a disgruntled X1 fan that hates the PS4 or part of the PC master race that literally shows we smash all lol

I've always had fantastic luck with Sony products. Walkmans were junk from day one anyway! :x

 

Have a Sony stereo right here in my office and Sony radios in both my vehicles, plus a Sony boombox upstairs.

 

That dude that is smashing his new PS4 is simply a spoiled pickle!!

 

Edit:

After watching video, I'd have to call him something worse than that, actually!!

it was proberly purchaced with donations to some stupid ass website, we all remember the smash my xbox360 days. If i was in that line id have taken the PSN code and the controller as he walked away.

[Dot Matrix]

He sounds and acts like he forgot to take his meds...  :|

Sony's PS4 launch is going terrible! So many failures already, just look at the Amazon reviews and they're all legit buyers too.

Not me unfortunately.  I went through Walkmans, a few televisions and multiple PlayStation consoles.  The only Sony product I still own is my last PS which is out in the garage hooked up to a television (not Sony) and it only works if I flip it over or put it on its side.  Shame really because I used to like the Sony PS but I will never again purchase another product they offer.

:wacko: Ok someone didn't take their medication...

Ouch, they may have a major problem on their hands.  Lets hope not because even though I despise Sony products all competition is good for the market imo and Microsoft still has their launch to deal with soon.

I honestly don't understand comments like these.

 

You can just as easily say:  It's people like this that make me sick, people can't even afford clothes and food and people are spending money to buy things just to make themselves happy.

 

And maybe that's the point this person is trying to make.  Why spend $500 on a video game console for your own pleasure?  Take those $500 and donate them to your local food pantry or GoodWill.

 

It's OK to waste money on a PS4 or XBoxOne as long as it's used how you see fit; is that how it is?

 

He took HIS money and did what he wanted with HIS PS4.  Was it to prove a point?  Who knows?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Nothing new, internet fad from 8 years ago. That site used donations to buy the consoles too IIRC.

 

[jakem1]

 I think the people in the queue are just as silly.

[Steven P. Administrators]

One guy in the queue grabs the video card I think? Lucky for him (if it still works).

 

And yeah there will be Xbox One smashes too probably.

RatedRR just shoots ######. There is some other guy who melts ###### in a big microwave and then tries to sell his "art" on eBay. Idiotic wastes.

Was kind of surprised too, at first I figured trolling which wouldn't have surprised me, but the majority of them are flagged as verified purchases from Amazon. Yikes. I never buy hardware day one, that being one of the reasons why.

As far as the video goes.. "meh" as far as I'm concerned, as people mentioned it's nothing new, but looks like he succeeded in what he wanted to do, namely cause a lot of butthurt.

[SiCKX]

Old-school, not as epic as the 360/PS3 days.

 

It's so funny seeing people so hateful towards the guy, makes me wanna smash a few more. :D "OMFG  HE MUST BE AN XBOT,  Can't be SDF, MUST BE A PC GAMER!" - it's so awesome.

[BigCheese]

As others have said, this is nothing new. I think "smash my ipod" was the first one. There's even a video on the front page of a guy shooting his PS4 with a .50 cal rifle.

 

The thing that guy picked up looks like the power supply unit. There is no separate video card in a PS4.

Consoles don't have video cards. It's most likely the HDD enclosure judging by the shape.

 

Edit: actually not sure what the hell that piece is. Maybe just some PCB.

I hope the guy was taken for a psychiatric evaluation

It was the PSU part.
