As you know, there's one thing we love more than gadgets --
wanton destruction. Combine the two (on someone else's dime, o'course) and we're having a pretty good day. That said, we're glad that there are others out there with our bent, including
Amusement, a "gaming lifestyle" mag based
en France. Apparently, the theme of the current issue is "computer bugs," with a number of articles illustrated in a clever, artistic, Gallic manner. But that's not what caught our eye -- no, we were into the pictures of handheld game consoles (specifically, a Nintendo DS and a PSP Go) being shot through particle board. Feel free to peep some more action photography after the break -- and we'll just go back to working on our
coilgun.

Great Projectile Devices
It reminds me of this ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/8763834@N02
I read this as "French magazine shoots handguns through beards - much to our amusement".
Sorely disappointed.
@ Danneh
LOL, I can't stop laughing!
From the embedded picture's resolution, it sort of looks like a PSP Go, but anyone looking harder would notice it's not!
Still pretty cool though.
...and they still haven't fixed the article...
This is very cool, but think of all the kids around the world who go to sleep without a handheld. ;-(
Instead of having to go to bed without a handheld device, why don't they just go buy one? Duh...
I'm amazed NO ONE asked this question,
But can it blend?
Ever since I threw my DS through a wall I've slept like a baby (actually more like a drugged toddler).
Where's the iPhone in all of this? I wanna see that sucker thrown through a wall. Just for funsies.
Wouldn't that cause an uproar between all the Apple fanbois?
Lies, The DS lite is indestructible. I stabbed a display at target with its stylus as hard as I could, with no damage to at all.
but the hinge isnt
aino: +1
Every DSLite my classmates have got broken hinges. Mine too. Specifically the right one.
damn hinges, its like their meant to be broken. so just break um as soon as u get the ds, and get it over with.
I have an old slow HTC mogul to donate to the cause.
Did the launch the ds lite towards the wall open or closed? I can see it breaking to bits open but not if it was closed.
My work firewall is blocking the read link . . . can we get wallpaper quality resolution on these?
Doesn't look like it.

969px × 661px, could be worse, CNN pics are 60x30 I think..
Thanks anyways guys.
Pure. Awesome.
What no high speed digital imagery?
C'est chouette !!! Jette les portables !!!
I want to see a Gameboy smash trough a solid brick wall. I bet it can do it!
Original GameBoy would at least take a chunk out of the brick wall, and probably survive.
she throws like a girl.
Um... Honestly, that's the only thing the PSP Go is good for
did this b4 with a potato launcher and some frozen oranges....good clean adolescent fun
I would like to see this on video in slow motion...too bad
404 - Particle board not found
They should do this with classic portables, too.
Original GameBoy: It would fly through the wall unscathed, and you'd be able to play Metroid 2 right after.
Game Gear: It would penetrate not only the particle board, but continue flying and wedge itself deeply into the opposite wall. Battery life would, as usual, be totally drained.
N-Gage: Due to its odd shape, it would act as a boomerang, swing `round, and clock the girl in the head. Phone reception would still suck, though all of this would be more fun than any of the games ever released for it.
Mattel LCD Football: It would survive unscathed, and still be more fun than the N-Gage.
Nokia 3310: it would fly through the board, then the next wall and probably the next. And it would still work perfectly.
