Video: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii get bricked – literally – for durability test

You’d want to see this video we found for the pilot episode of Human Wrecking Balls on G4TV. It’s the Pumphrey brothers with Blair Herter bricking the PS3, the Wii and the Xbox 360 to test which one is the most durable. And by bricking, we mean that literally. As in cement bricks. See what we mean after the jump. Warning: not for the faint-hearted.

This is probably not the best way to test how strong this gen’s consoles are, and it’s also most probably not the best method to confront your anger management issues. But what the hey, the Human Wrecking Balls, the Pumphrey brothers, bricked the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 – literally – to check out which one will remain standing.

As you will see in the vid below, the test, conducted with Blair Herter, required cement bricks. Lots of them. Underneath the bricks are the hapless consoles, after which, a series of karate chops commence to see if it will be sturdy enough to still run despite the brutal beatings.

What do you know, the Wii ran perfectly well, and the PS3, too. As for the Xbox 360, it was knocked out on the very first round. As to who reigned supreme between the PS3 and the Wii, well, you’ll just have to catch it again on the Human Wrecking Balls show on G4TV. Hopefully they’ll show a rerun of it due to insistent popular demand. The episode was aired just about a couple of hours ago, Eastern Time.

But that’s okay if you missed it, you can check out the vid below anyway to get in on the action, or you can conduct your own durability test for all three. It’s one huge cringe-moment, though.
