I know someone always says it, but I have to point out that this is pretty damn old, and it truly warms my heart to see you laughing at a kid who had a particularly mean prank played on him. Personally I find that movie of those guys dragging a Gamecube behind their car for a few hundred metres, and then it still being playable much more entertaining, as it produces humour via wonderment, rather than dumb, derisive humour such as this.
They're damn invincible. There's a video around of this Spanish(I think) games program, and they publicly tried to find out which of the current-gen (at the time) consoles can take the most damage.
The PS2 died straight away obviously, flimsy piece of crap. X-Box took quite a bit of punishment but finally gave up the goat when it have a huge dumbell dropped on it from a height. However, they colud not kill the 'Cube despite thier best efforts.
So they picked it up, and just threw it around on the concrete, kicked it around, and generally smashed it.
They then picked up the biggest chunk they could find and plugged it in.
Thu 'Cube booted up fine.
I've heard stories of people being completely unable to destroy thier NES. I once managed to whack my Game Boy Colour into the corer of a brick wall once, really bad whack. It ended up with a huge gash in it but the console didn't care and still works to this day.
Another friend of mine dropped his GBA by accident on a concrete hill, it went sliding down quite far, screen down. For some reason it didn't get any scratches and still doesn't care.
We're always using the Gamecube as a make-shift football for fun and is it bothered? Hell no. It screams, "ABUSE ME!"
<3 Nintendo rock.
