wow, that's pretty funny. i wonder if anyone will do that with the PS3
I wish I thought of this!! Have to quote the story here because I couldn't even make this up.
"A brand new Xbox 360 was ritually sacrificed in front of a large line of Xbox Fanboys waiting to buy the latest machines. Blokes from smashmyxbox.com queued for 55 hours outside Best Buy to be one of the first to own the new gear.
However, to the horror of the waiting line, once buying the much sort after machine, the pair took out a pair of sledgehammers and pummelled it to death in front of them."
