A bit late with this, but it's still awesome, in a completely insane, really futile and stupid gesture sort of way:
This site [1] chronicles one man's obsession with the idea of getting one of the first Xbox 360s to go on sale and then smashing it with a sledgehammer in front of horrified Xbox fanboys still in line:
Well, after 55 hours of pain, cold, and suffering, we have got our Xbox 360 and successfully smashed it outside Best Buy minutes later, with a large sledgehammer in front of a few Xbox Fanboys who just bought brand new 360s.
Complete with photos and irate mail from angry Xboxites.
