When they were, he bought the very last one, went outside, opened up the box, and smashed it to bits with a sledgehammer!

I love that.

That sounds a lot like one of the Google Video's I posted in the shoutbox a couple days ago. Some guy took donations from people that wanted him to smash an Xbox 360, he got the money, and waited some 30 or 50 hours outside Best Buy (first in line by a long shot) and while he was waiting he went over to Home Depot and bought a sledgehammer. He was the center of attention (a TechTV guy and a local news van interviewed him, although he probably meant G4TV but hates them too much to say it) and when he finally got it he took it outside the door and smashed it up, there were some funny reactions and some people (even Xbox fanboys I'm sure) wanted him to keep smashing it.

Anyway here's the videos:

Hehe, 360 busted in japan. Big suprise. Even though, in japan, they ONLY offered the premium, and ONLY sold it for the equivalent of $330.

Can’t say anyone’s too surprised, but apparently the general reaction to the Xbox 360 launch in Japan today was lukewarm at best. Microsoft does have first-mover advantage there on the next-gen console playing field unlike last time around, and they’re hoping that will be the ticket to increased sales in a market that, if first-day reaction is any indication, may end up preferring to wait for the PS3 or Revolution to arrive next year.

i dont know about that because i heard that they glitch and and there arent alot of good games out right now. but i am considering ps3

[jjgamepro17]

i know and i dont think its fair because im thinking about getting the premium 360

The Xbox360 has glitches in it! so I'll just wait for the ps3 and revolution!

[ShadowMarth]

Everything has glitches, but I do suspect that anything from microsoft has a higher probobility to. Sony has an even worse track record with such things.

I've seen that you can put a psp onto an xbox 360, Why would microsoft make 360 compatable with the psp. *the plot thickens*
