One of the things you can always count on with any new console launch is that a bunch of YouTubers will make videos about destroying them, which is exactly what one YouTuber has done with the Xbox Series X.
As demonstrated in the video (which we've now removed from this article) the Xbox Series X is shown to be incredibly durable, surviving multiple full force throws of an actual fridge without turning off. He gets legitimately frustrated at how durable it is, before finally dealing the killer blow through the top of the vent.
The controller doesn't fare quite so well, losing functionality and eventually breaking completely after a few hard throws, which of course is entirely expected. We hope nobody is throwing their controller around like this anyway!
All of this feels like a massive waste, but hey, at least we know it's durable. Give us your thoughts below.

Probably made his money back from the views already sadly...
Guess they paid for it so they can do what they like. Such a wasteful world we live in, so sad really.
On a good note, my series x just got delivered,
Smaller than I thought. Just updating and so far it is pin drop silent with fan moving slowly.
It is quite funny to see how "justifiable" it is to smash something just because you used your own money to buy it.
"I own it I can do whatever I want with it!"
Well I saw that so I can call you an idiot
Microsoft still got your 500$ bud..
Obviously the idiot needs to get out more.
On a serious note though,....
WOW! That console is built well! Countless hits with a fridge, not only that it can withstand some really cold temperatures as well.
Well done to Microsoft for the build quality.
Seriously, microsoft is laughing really hard. But its sad at the same time, why smash these thing, yiu could also make a video where you donate these stuff to the poor. I would watch it and even donate.
I really wish this ***** wouldn’t be shared. I know if you don’t do it someone else will but I just think these videos are completely pointless and I would LOVE for someone to smash their console up for money and then get zero views.
Ah the generation of attention seekers, please please I want to be famous but I have no real talent
@K1LLEGAL Agreed, wish they wouldn't help give this attention seeking clown and his ilk more publicity. It's only going to encourage others.
There is a world of difference between a consumer focused drop test, a teardown or a Jerry Rig Everything scratch test (light scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 ) that benefits the wider community. This benefits no one except the streamers pocket.
@K1LLEGAL @themightyant You're right. I've removed the video.
@FraserG Didn't think that would happen.
Does that mean i'm an influencer now? Lord help me
I hate youtubers, they’re the worst.
I can honestly say that between these types of individuals and hardcore scalpers, I really don't know which of the two inbred maggots I find to be the worst.
It's probably a tie...
@FraserG mate... <3
This idiot shouldn’t get views for his video. Wasting an XSX. 🙄
Funny thing is they most likely write these consoles off as tax etc as they are earning from You Tube etc. So the consoles cost them nothing.
I did watch the video though and was impressed with how strong that middle alloy plate is, it survived endless hits by that fridge... the guy said he will do the same to a PS5 too.
How wasteful. Someone that wanted it could have used that purchase. Plus it’s adding to the landfill.
All of these complains, yet PlainRock124 still doesn't care 🤷♂️
Oh well, at least he's smashing a ps5 as well...
gender equality...
@djshep1973 Yep, I do agree. Although, that's kinda the point of his channel...
Not saying it's ok, but personally, I find it entertaining. I do understand the anger however.
Why give these money grubbers the light of day? Just giving them more views for more advertising cash.
@AJDarkstar I swear that's only some YouTubers.
@FraserG Lmao the guy who made the video smashing the Series X made a video making fun of this article and many more. He even called Pure Xbox "fake news".
I love people that get triggered by plainrock
