Moron buys two PS3s, ebays one, smashes the other in front of the lineup with a sledgehammer.
The PS3 is pretty well made though, not much damage for 10-20 strikes with a sledgehammer.

tru no doubt...but 40%?...that\'s still a big chunk....sony also has it\'s movie studios as well helping it overall as a company, but that\'s going off topic a bit...people are absolutely pathetic...
