Forget Windows 7, watch a PS3 slam into a Bravia

[javajolt]

How do you get people's attention during Windows 7 week? You crash a PlayStation 3 into a Sony Bravia and put the slo-mo replay on YouTube.

People love watching stuff crash or blow up in slow motion, but slamming a games console into a big arse TV at 80 km/h is the kind of stunt you'd expect to see on Mythbusters or Top Gear. It's not something you'd expect from Sony. I guess some people will do anything for attention in Windows 7 week.

Sony only put the clip up on YouTube for 24 hours on Wednesday as a "teaser" but, like many people in the industry, I didn't find time to look until today. It's gone from Sony's official page, but the folks at Gizmag wanted to be sure everyone gets to see what happens when a PS3 flies into a Bravia travelling at 22 metres per second. So here it is, courtesy of the Gizmag YouTube page. Enjoy.
