If you got a video game that was so bad that even gamestop wouldn't buy it how would you get rid of it?

Having dreamt of smashing a PS3 for a long time, I can tell you it really isn't that hard. All you need is a sledgehammer wasting around (basically everything from scizzors to motor oil should do the trick). You COULD try to sell it in an auction or something, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun  |

OOOH, a splendid idea! If you ever burn a PS3 with thermite, please film it and post it on Youtube. I'd really like to see it (if it's not already there... guess where I'm heading  ) |

I would either A, set it up as an exploding target and shoot it (using Qwerty.55's patented fruity scented H.E. of coarse) or B, slam a two pound homemade rocket into it.

Interesting how this devolved from helping someone sell of a terrible game to various ways we could torch a PS3...
I would try either e-bay, if there is one near you a Disk Replay, or "give" it as a Secret Santa gift at the next company Christmas party...
As for the toasted PS3, can I have it to play MGS4 first? Then you can do what you want with it.

of course the mythbuster way is to blow it up, but unless you have the authorities' ok and a clear space to do so, you could get in trouble. i say talk with your local high school chemistry teacher and do a little experiment to come up with several ways you can use chemicals to dissolve game discs. fill us in on what you get as a result. i sure do have a lot of useless games i want to get rid of in anyway possible.

You could always try sending it to the developer with a letter stating how crappy it is... |

Sorry, I gave up chemistry last year, I'm now studying biochem. |

If you really don't like it, I'd stick to thermite. But, on the off chance you don't have access to thermite, a sledgehammer, or even a mallet, would provide sufficient enjoyment.
Out of curiosity, what game is it?

Use your imagination I'm not talking about a specific game.

Why don't you squeeze the game disc into a really huge balloon, fill it with hydrogen and shoot it with a flaming arrow and see what happens? |
