    All that energy exhausted on the Xbox, when all they really had to do was blow a particle of dust into it.

    Yep, they could've just left it running for a while. In a few days it woulda red ringed on them.

    Was this another structural stress test? Can't see youtube at work.
    I remember the last one- the Gamecube won.

    Nintendo does make some sturdy stuff. Using more modest tech allows them that luxury. I remember my neighbor somehow dropped a Rumble pack for an N64 controller outside when he was coming back from my house.

    He couldn't find it since he didn't realize he dropped it outside in the snow. He found it after the winter and it still worked!

    In all the head to head tests, the PSIII and the Wii survived, although the PSIII had more cosmetic damage.

    In slightly-PS3-related news, IBMs Roadrunner is now the worlds fastest supercomputer, powered by some 12,000+ Cell processors for "heavy lifting" and just under 7000 AMD Opteron quad cores for "basic" operations.
