Mega64 - The PS5 Absolutely Cannot Play Discs
- Thread starter PSOreo
- Start date
The Fun Police is going hard on this thread. Telling people what is and what isn't funny, smh.
Lmaaaaaaaaaaaaao, they should've put that on the video
So good.
Also to the people saying they disrupted this business at any point, There's filming of the employee opening the box on the floor of the gamestop, they clearly know each other and was in on it.

Who cares? There will be a hundred million soon, people need to relax.
People acting superior and smug over not enjoying something is pretty on brand for Era tbh
Better to go out with a bang, a circular saw and plenty of mayo than simply be put in rest mode.
They should have put some dirt and cheetos dust on the floor, to make it even worse.
The reactions this is getting in this thread is what Rocco lives for. He's not content unless he's alienating 99% of his potential audience just to cater to the long-time fans who get what the video is referencing right off the bat.
Honestly, they can do a whole season just on Resetera's dumb past few months
While I do understand to a point the people saying it's just a joke and people are overreacting, I hope I never see the same people in the next exposé thread about the sort of conditions these consoles are made and getting outraged.
I mean it's an exaggerated version of this internet classic.
But the pay off of the whole video is the ending
Personally I find the idea of someone here laughing about the machine being destroyed but going into a thread complaining about the condition workers are put through to actually make them to be quite hypocritical.
Buying a console or any electronic device is already a minefield in terms of morality so buying one just to destroy it for lols seems pretty shitty to me.
I don't think it is trying to be cool.
I'm surprised people in this thread think that the Gamestop employee isn't actually in on the joke. Also I bet that is a Sony supplied PS5 that doesn't even function.
Calm down people and just enjoy a silly little video that didn't hurt anybody or anything.
No ethical consumption under capitalism.
However, this person spent their money on it, they can do, whatever they want with it.
I laughed pretty hard at this video. Sometimes, you just need a good, hardy laugh on a Monday morning.
Oh era, come on, that was hilarious. If you are going to senselessly destroy something, the key is to be funny.
This had all the right timing, was short, and honestly the soap and then mayo were so over the top... 12/7!

It's one out of several million luxury devices used in a joke video whose very intention clearly is to get a visceral reaction out of people and furthermore take delight in those that reply in disgust about s.th. that, for anyone thinking about it, is really a complete non-issue.
But even if you were to not get any of that, that you'd feel like people laughing at that video shouldn't complain about the likely bad working conditions in some directly or indirectly related console manufacturing factories, rather than aiding in getting the word out about those, is low. Even if you perceived them as hypocrites, it would still be more important to let their voices be heard there.
so you didn't watch the video and clearly didn't read the thread, but you felt compelled to grace us with your uninformed opinion. Great contribution!
I swear, half of Era would get a heart attack if they watched the first 30 minutes of The Blues Brothers.
I mean ultimately of course that is the case, I'm not advocating they shouldn't have been allowed to buy it or anything.
That's a fair point about the importance of people speaking up about the ethical concerns regarding electronics assembly practices.
Personally though I still don't particularly like the video, just feels like a waste of a good console that could have gone to someone who appreciated it, as well as it being a shining example of how disposable some people treat modern commodities.
Are people serious with the "this is disrespectful to the people who couldn't preorder a playstation" takes? I didn't even think the video was particularly funny but these ridiculous reactions to it made it worth it lol.
Truly the only way to properly honor the slave laborers who were forced to make these consoles under terrible working conditions is by achieving a platinum trophy in Bugsnax™.
Yes. Some people are emotionally attached to corporate products.
Gotta get that trophy level up. Honour the work put into that console.
Yikes at some of the reactions here. Have a laugh, take a deep breath.
I won't lie though, the Demon's Souls slide hurt a bit.

I can't see how it's more hypocritical than someone consuming the product and praising the company that did it while complaining about work conditions.
For these people (the workers, i mean), the act of purchasing it is 100% the same whether is it to play or destroy. The workers are probably the ones that would care the least.
