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.

KitGuru Says: Given that these limited edition consoles are still in such high demand, it seems like it would be a shame to waste one by breaking it. What do you guys think? Good idea? Stupid idea? Either way it doesn't seem like the sort of thing that really belongs on Kickstarter.

I could see this taking off pretty quick. I think there are enough pc master race types out there with a seething hatred for the consoles that would love to see one trashed. Personally I wouldnt want to back this because although i am a die hard pc fan i still believe consoles have a place in my house hold and having started with a playstation one myself back in the day I would be pretty sad to see an anniversary edition trashed.
Someone seriously wants $20,000 to smash a console? I have started a fundraiser on FundAnything to help my parents with their financial situation, please take a look, https://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/helping-my-dad
Obviously, he didn’t pay $20,000 for his console.
Hell no.
At least I wouldn’t.
“Hey, give me money so I can smash this very expensive console that I bought with the money you gave me right in your face!”
That’s fucking retarded.
I really don’t think the PC Master Race cares about consoles, they just like to make fun of them, this level of hate towards a PS4 can only come from Xbox fanboys.
Someone did do at teh start when teh popup shop was only giving away 94 of these in the uk, so who knows what other people did abroad (btw there are only 12,300 of these in the world
PC Master Race = forever alone
Thats quite the statement.. And in all honesty a very inaccurate one to. I know quite a few pc master race types that live a wonderful life with friends, family, spouse, children…. oh look. You’ve been proven wrong. Idiot.
Thats a valid point. I didnt think about the hate from xbox fan boys. Realistically speaking anyone stupid enough to just hand over their money so they can watch someone smash a perfectly capable little gaming system is an idiot.
Ill pay a pound to see him removed both his thumbs with a pitbul. Not the pop artist, the canine breed.
