Witness the art of microwaving a PlayStation 3

It's difficult to rationalize microwaving a functioning device like a PlayStation 3, but we suppose most ideas from the "art" realm don't ever make much sense in the first place. From d0vetastic, comes this masterpiece abomination of a nuked PS3, which was left inside a microwave for two and a half minutes before it started to melt and catch fire. The controller wasn't spared from the nuking either; it burst into flames within seconds. Afterwards, once everything cooled down, d0vetastic painted in some details to complete his work.

Whether you want to call it art or not, it's still an interesting sight to see. You can watch how it all went down via the video clip we've posted after the break. Now that we know what happens to a PS3 when it gets microwaved, there's only one adage left unanswered: Will it blend? Perhaps someone else will get down to the mystery of that one.
