To all the 'inteligent' people who believe the guy probably got cancer... the camera was left on the ground, odds are he just walked away.

Anyway, you can't get cancer from a microwave. The wavelength of a microwave is over 1m, because of the structure of the protective stuff in the window (you know, a bunch of random holes?) a very minimal amount of radiation is able to escape, and even that amount wouldn't be enough (strength or quantitativly) to give someone cancer. It's only very rare occurences where cancer can be recieved from a microwave and even then it's nearly impossible to prove it (if at all)
Exactly - the Faraday cage is there for a reason, and it does a damn good job stopping microwave radiation.
Personally, I would be a lot more worried about the gases fuming up from the console and the nature of that combustion rxn - I'd think it unlikely that we'd know the exact composition of the casing (which is probably some nasty-burning thermoset plastic) and the hardware (which possibly has heavy metal traces in it, which can cause some nasty stuff (like zinc does) in addition to a longer term disposal threat (like cadmium)).

What a waste of 600 FUCKING dollars!
I find it repulsive that someone would do such a thing even if the system is broke.
Yep, then you get people like me that keep going into the local shopping mall to find PS3's are out of fucking stock and I can't fucking buy one myself cos some prick bought a load so they can toast them in various ways for the amusement of the internets.

Out loud I said, "A microwaved PS3, intriguing...." which made my brother hug ours. But it looks so much more EPIC. It looks like you could use it to raise some deadites.

Awesome! PS3 destroyed AND an inappropriate yet entertaining use for a microwave! What's not to like :)

Although that thick plastic smoke looked distinctly unhealthy.

LOL totally, I'm fucking selfish, i'm also throwing my toys out of my pram, which is irony considering I'm moaning that someone else is breaking their toy.

see I didn't read the bit about charity, I've closed the link, how did he make money for charity with it?. and what charity was it donated to?.

It went on ebay for something like $25.000. I think the charity was unicef or oxfam

oh right, two charities that have been giving to third world countries for over 50 years with no improvement to the poor in said areas, while warlords flourish like locusts.

Couldn't he have given the money to a place where it would have made a difference in the long term?, like Great Ormond Street hospital?
Or West Way centre in Shepheds Bush, they need 15,000 pounds to get improve their facilities to get more disabled children in to do leisure activities.

First, I'm surprised that it actually fit. Second, what the hell are those eye things? I have no fucking clue what those could be. Anyway, that could only have been better if they actually tried playing with those things. If it still worked it would have been awesome.

Well I dunno if this is a waste of money, look at this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150332124532

He has the thing up on ebay for US $27,178.00! If anyone buys that they're retarded because why wouldn't you just buy one and microwave it yourself? But that would be awesome for that guy.... maybe I should get into the art business.
