Who would have guessed the outcome of that one? I'm sure everyone is right with their bet on the first one to go, though.

I find this test somewhat odd. One of my friends managed to break his Gamecube. (it was used, but Im VERY sure it wasnt hit with a mallet or had weights dropped on it.)
I bet it was probably a "liquid" mistake perhaps, though.
I guess. You can break "NES on a chip" by spilling something on it, while it's powered on. Try dropping a NES clone from 4 meters height. Haha.
nintendo should be tank manufacturers:p
PS: i m not surprised it boots, but if the laser motor and the laser functions, then hats off.

I guess Gamecube's shape spreads the force evenly when the console is hit. And everybody knows that PlayStation 2 is crap when it comes to withstanding any kind of abuse. You fart at it, and it breaks.
The n64 is a proper tank-box too. I d be surprised however if the sleek Wii would be anywhere near the abuse levels of the gamecube's toyish design - lets not forget that nintendo made it to be abused/hit/thrown around , but the wii seems like the living room's jewl, unlike the cube that was thought of being moved around.

There is a lot of "dead" space inside the Gamecube case which is perfect for shock absorption. I would be surprised if the disk drive for the GC worked after that, but they didn't test it to find out (unless they talked about it, but there is no way I am unmuting my speakers and listening to that idiot talk to find out).

Haha. No, they didn't talk about it, so you didn't miss anything.
yep, I broke my ps2 with a 120 gig HDD in it with a drop of maybe 3 1/2 feet onto asphalt. At least it boots up, but the drive is jammed and most likely the laser is also dead, as it wont read anything.Originally Posted by Morden
sad sad day it was.
That's how I broke my PlayStation and PlayStation 2. I dropped them both. Unfortunate accidents of course. But in both cases the laser gave up immediately. Not the actual lens, but the fragile cogs that move it.
Speaking to a freind today who manages a game store
He said you don`t see virtually any Nintendo items that come back as faulty, this test sort of backs this up as well!
I must admit being a fanboy and having virtually all consoles......my son had a SP where one of the shoulder buttons worked intermitantly but this uis just one in years
I'm not surprised. I knew the PS2 would be dead in an instant because of their cheap ass designs. I was rather surprised that that Xbox was down and out so easily. It may have survived if it hadn't been dropped at that angle.
My ps2 blew the fuse controlling 12v to the hdd when I used a can of air to blow dust out of it. Never had a problem with air before or since then. Thankfully I had a dead mobo on hand with the proper fuse.
This video has problably been here before. A test where a GameCube is dragged behind a car and boots Mario Sunshine afterwards!

Wow, now that one was much better. I'm amazed that it was still working after a couple of interesting spills. But then again the lid never came off.
ouch, i doubt someone would try such tests with a Ps3, considering the price n all O_o

:oh:
This vid makes me question what REALLY happened to my friend's GCN to make it stop working.
I'm leaning more towards it being a faulty unit, now. There's no way my friend did THAT much damage to his GCN.
Liquid and electrical shock or internal damage is more likely to kill your GCN.
I don't know you know. Remember that video of some Japanese guy who bought a PSP on day of release then smashed the shit out of it :lol: That guy was nuts!
