Kickstarter campaign wants $20,300 to destroy Anniversary Edition PS4

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

Why would anyone want destroy a piece of hardware ?  that's just wrong 

A Kickstarter campaign is aiming to raise over $20,000 to destroy a rare 20th Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4 console. Many of those lucky enough to get their hands on one of these consoles swiftly took to eBay to sell them for absurdly high prices but Charles Tiongson wants his PS4 to suffer a different fate.
 

The campaign starter resides in Las Vegas and intends to film himself smashing up the console. The exact figure he is looking for is $20,300, although the logic behind it seems a bit flawed. According to the Kickstarter page, because someone out there was crazy enough to buy a 20th Anniversary Edition PS4 on eBay for $20,100, he should get $200 more than that in order to destroy one.
 

The console will get an unboxing video before being torn apart and those who back more than $50 will get a piece of broken PS4 sent to them.
 

The campaign doesn’t have many backers currently, having only raised $121 so far. Unfortunately there is no real way of telling if this will take off, after all, people did Kickstart potato salad last year, so breaking a rare PS4 isn’t completely out of the question.

That's retarded, i hope no one contributes anything. 

[Toddwjp]

stupid just stupid. this is why people stop investing in the good things on kick starter because of too much shit like this

121$ raised , probably Xbox fanboys 

[Ripull]

He's probably an XBone fan

[KayTees]

Actually. /r/pcmasterrace. A reason to smash it

[flibberdipper]

That's fucking stupid. I would KILL to get one of those things.

[terrytek]

They have to waste 20K just to waste a perfectly fine PS4 Anniversary edition? Their lives are a waste.

Glorious PC master race members would not touch the grubby dirty peasant boxes.

[PercySavageEG]

It's such a waste (I never owned a console so destroying one as rare as that is pretty crazy for me), I would kill to get one of those

[theodoro]

I hope he is a Xbox 12 year-old fanboy and not a Pcmasterrace lunatic.  Either way, he gives a bad name to all gamers and that's annoying IMO.
What a stupid thing to do...

Humans are dumb man

[Thebman712]

Why, i mean destroying a ps4 would be fun, and i would love 20k but those two dont go together, if i had one, i would wait a year and sell it, then but a normal ps4,a new pc, a car, and give money to my parrents

[Malandrix]

And there are backers... gotta love kickstarter.

[Mooshi]

This reminds me of a channel my gf found on Youtube where some richfag had many videos of destroying iphones and XB1's. People that treat expensive objects like that for the sake of "entertainment" are wasteful scum I'd never befriend.

[brownninja97]

What a bloody retard. i hope the lizardsquad go after him

[Octagoncow]

It's a good thing that this won't ever happen. I don't know if I'll ever buy a PS4, but I think the anniversary edition looks really cool.

A guy that destroys iphones for kicks has over 1mil subs. This level of stupidity on the internet means there is a chance this might actually happen and it'd be a shame to destroy a beautiful machine for the sake of internet ego.

That's the beauty of kickstarter: Now you don't have to be filthy fucking rich to afford to be a fucking idiot, with the power of crowd funding you can spend just 1 or 2 dollars and have the satisfaction of wasting your money!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now focus on the "wasting money" part, is this really any better than most of the kickstarts out there? I personally much rather pay this guy 1 buck so he can smash a console and post a video than pay 1 buck to Anita to keep her telling me how I am an evil fucking misogynist for liking open world sandboxes.

It doesn't cost anything to subscribe to a channel. It's completely different to pay to see it.

That's fucking stupid. I would KILL to get one of those things.

I doubt you'd kill to get one and if you actually would you deserve to be shot after being forced to watch the console being destroyed. 

I don't understand why the hell he wants to raise so much to destroy it unless his planing on being retarded as hell and buying one for $20k on ebay to destroy.

Keep the fucking satire on the subreddit.

I wasn't being serious about killing someone... Most people are actually able to detect that that wasn't serious... But I do REALLY want one.

[Godlygamer23]

I was hoping for a more elaborate way of destroying it. But no. For $20.3 thousand dollars, he's going to use a SLEDGE HAMMER. Seriously? People are morons.

It is for a good cause. If I can actually get the funding for this project more than 12,300 people can own this PlayStation 20th anniversary edition ...or at least a piece of it.

What..
