Default The real test of strength

Consoles, put to the test to see how durable they are... done by the chick from X-play.

http://collegehumor.com/?movie_id=107702

for those who dont wanna see the video or have a 56k connection.

First test, drop a (20 lbs) weight from a ladder on each PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox

....on power back on.. .ps2 doesn't work, gamecube and xbox fine...

second test... croquet style hit with a sledgehammer...

....on power back one, both xbox and gamecube still work

third test, drop from 12 feet onto concret floor

...xbox smashes faceplace off, and on power on doesn't work, gamcube shows no real wear (cept the cover wont close)



i've noticed this to be true also, I always drop my gamecube, or pull it off the shelf by the controller... I was playing resident evil today, and pulled it off the shelf by the cord on accident and the gameplay didn't even stop... so i played it (while gamecube was on side)

I've replaced my Ps2 twice, and my Xbox once for not working when i put a disk in... gamecube never.

Go nintendo for always making a quality product

I can completely see how a result like this would make my gaming experience more enjoyable.

lol, very true typh.

old video tho, remember seeing it a while ago. had it not been old i'd of asked why use an old model ps2. more curious of how the current model ps2 does. i know the flip lid would break easily, but other then that it feels much more sturdy then before.

Interesting though.

Ah, it was painful to watch at first...

But how could I have doubted the strength of the Cube. Go Nintendo!
