I know what those guys are doing...but what does it matter? Nobody ever flames the guys over at Ars Technica for what they did to the iPod nano they got for reviewing purposes.
Then again, I haven't seen the videos on smashourstuff because I don't like the idea and would much like it if the guys doing that were donating the money, time and goods to an .org like child's play. You know, because there are people out there who'd love to play with an xbox or ps2 or iPod or whatever.
