rom the creators of SmashMyiPod.com, we bring you, SmashMyXbox.com!
After we collect $430 in donations, we will take that money to a local Best Buy, 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. For more info, read the faq.

Good stuff, all ipods beside the nano are so over-rated.

Waste of money, which would have been donated to some charities or something.

I for one am interested in seeing how people will react when they smash the iPod. And I can't wait until they get their hands on the XBOX360 because that's going to be neat to see too.

The idea was partially ripped off the "smashed PS2" from a few years back, but that wasn't a "social experiment," it was an exploitation of Electronic Boutiques extended/replacement warranty.

All this effort to get off easily amused haters and to upset fanboys.
It's like solving a calculus problem in front of geeks and retards. In the end, the 'tards will run away crying, and geeks will circle-jerk over the apparent "dual pwnage" of the problem and the 'tards.
Lame.

Some people just want to see an ipod getting smashed. I do. It's up to them whether they want to donate that money or not. Is it pointless? Apart from a means of entertainment, yes. Are they breaking any laws or hurting people? No. They're buying expensive electronics and smashing them.

Yawn!
What's the big deal? An iPod is only a few hundred bucks. Smashing one only puts a small dent in the piggy bank. This is way over dramatized.
What I really want to see is this dude setting his home on fire, smashing his Ferrari or cutting his own balls off. That would be worthy of a web site.

Speaking of nice cars, hip hop star Cam'ron was carjacked recently for his Lamborghini, but he refused to give it up. The thugs shot him three times. Anyone know whatever happened to the Lamborghini? Did it get shot up or survive without a scratch?

Video has been released.
It's disappointing. They hardly got more than 10 seconds of smashing the iPod in the store before getting kicked out. :(

The only interesting video will be seeing them return it under warranty coverage to the Apple store (Which based on the end of the video it looks like they do this at some point)

i don't see the point of destroying the ipod.. in fact.. if he hates ipod.. why does he want to give them business..
the video quality sucks.. the person filming the footage wasn't doing a good job.. also he promised to destroy the ipod inside apple store but only lasted for 5 secs..
furthermore.. it appears to me that they are taking money from donations and using them for their own enjoyment of destruction..

Does he come off as being remotely intelligent to you? Because he definitely doesn't to me. Just another loser vying for attention on the web.

You cant expect the best video quality considering that most stores don't allow you to videotape or take pictures in store.

Honestly, I think the video was terrible. I mean, I didn't even laugh, you couldn't see the guy being kicked out, horrible quality, very slow. I mean, at the end their was no benefit other than the one for apple that got the money. The guy could have joked around the store and ask for warranty (like a joke).
Money could have been donated for people who needed more....... minimum he could do is use the money from the broken ipod sale for donation....
Shoot a video of him surprising a poor family by giving them money or maybe a very good gift they wouldn't be able to afford.......
