“I did it for the thrill and to see people’s expression,” Moukhortov, a 17-year-old part-time student, said yesterday after the public smashing of the PS3 he bought from the downtown Best Buy.

“It was like a social experiment to see people’s reaction. It held up pretty well. It took about 15 hits to break it.”

The pair both bought a new PS3 — one 20-gigabyte unit worth $550 and a 60-gigabyte unit worth $650.
