Gaming’s Whacked Out Week: Having a Chainsawin’ Good Time with PS4

Remember dOvetastic, Youtube ballache and ‘professional microwave operator?' His whole thing is wanging brand new expensive electronics into a microwave, then broadcasting their fiery deaths to the world. Like this hapless 3DS, for instance.

These sorts of shenanigans raise all kinds of questions. Questions like what the balls? and why the balls? But hey, if that's what Youtube calls entertainment, who are we to judge.

We all had our reasons for getting our asses aboard the next-gen hype train, after all. For some, it was the simple allure of new toy syndrome. Others went a little deeper, and wanted to get their slightly sweaty, nerdly hands on the next generation of games. Then there are the crazies who just wanted something price-tacular to throw from a fourth floor window.

Yup, this week saw Wired's Battle Damage feature engage in the battle of the titans: Xbox One vs PS4, which is more durable? First to let out a final, defeated screech was declared the loser... and summarily chainsawed in half, quoth Kotaku, showing that these bastards are dropping the kind of hardcore science our brains just can't handle on a Friday morning.

Hit the jump to watch the episode. It escalates from a simple five foot drop to a chainsaw-flailing moment of crazy-ass that Leatherface would be proud of, and you can't put a price on that.
