PS3 gets smashed to bits

AS PREDICTED by the INQUIRER yesterday in the PS3 launch write-up, the guys behind the original iPod smashing and the subsequent destroying of an Xbox 360 clubbed together to purchase a Playstation 3 simply to record the destruction of the $599 console.

The original Xbox 360 smash-up was reported by us some time ago, and we weren't surprised to learn of a new site dedicated to fund raising for the inevitable ensuing carnage.

You can view the smashing of an iPod on this site, and the 360 via this link. Here at the INQ we'd much prefer you spent your money more wisely when considering charitable donations.

Children in need for instance, can be located here.

Also, the INQ's dedicated forum, the infamous Hermits Cave, have recently banded together to purchase at least two Yaks for the benefit of ' Save the Children'.

Even this hack donated for this noble charitable cause, and you can read about it in the forums here and here.

Seeing as the destruction has already taken place, pop along to Smashmyps3.com and you'll be able to watch the launch-day demolition of Sony's new console in this video.

As if Sony needed any more help in destroying its product. µ
