We achieved 30,000 full video views of our Nintendo DS Lite review in the first 3 days of Broken Review being launched and we now have over 60,000 views on youtube, where this video is hosted. When we released our second review of the Sony PSP we achieved over 130,000 full video views, with 32,465 views in one day on Vimeo, where these videos were hosted. We received several honors on youtube where we hosted our launch video and have been featured on hundreds of technology news websites, blogs and forums all over the world, our tests have even been translated into japanese and russian. We quadrupled the video views of our first video with our second and almost doubled that with our iPod Touch video, which achieved 220,000 views in under 2 months, and forced us to upgrade our server! We increase our video views and fan base with each video released. We have had over 800,000 visitors to the website in the 3 months it has been active and average full video views (from all of our videos) is just over 34,000 views per week.
We do not discourage people from buying a product if it breaks in the early stages, or scores low in our review, instead we suggest ways that they can better protect it through protective cases or accessories. We want to show consumers how tough the product is, so they can make educated choices about how and if to protect them.
You can contact us by email, though our website and by phone: +44 (0)79 6934 7416 and +44 (0)16 7544 3125.
A few of the many articles written about us:
If there's one thing we hate that seems to have caught on among unofficial gaming sites, it's people queuing up for new consoles on launch day, buying one, then proceeding to smash it up in front of hundreds of people still waiting for theirs. We'd like to say it's a pathetic because it's consumerism at its most lewd and throwaway.
But we mainly hate it because it's not even funny and usually done by idiots.
Still, a site has come to our attention which at least seems to demonstrate a slightly more worthy reason for smashing up electronic items. It's doing it as a means of testing how tough products are, which will be of primary use when helping a very clumsy person – or someone with very slack handed children who are going to playing with their stuff – in deciding whether to buy something or not.

Broken Review is a new site that's all about putting products through fairly standard durability and stress tests... and then seeing just how much punishment they can absorb before finally breaking. They ambitiously decided to start by demolishing a Nintendo DS, resulting in some truly spectacular pics of the poor machine after it was finally torn to pieces. So what did it take to finally shatter the Lite?

Unlike conventional review sites, which are broken on a fundamental “what’s-the-difference-between-an-8.0-and-an-8.1″ plane, Broken Reviews breaks stuff in order to review them. It most recently abused the Nintendo DS, subjecting to all sorts of weird shock tests. The video linked here shows a DS being dropped onto various surfaces from around wait-level height. Other fun tests include throwing it off a speeding motorbike and down a flight of stairs.
What have we learned? That the DS is fairly sturdy, and that some people are truly gods among men.

Hinge cracks aside, things the DS Lite can survive: Being put in a bag with keys and shaken, being dropped on the floor, being tossed from a motorbike, being thrown down the stairs, getting hot tea poured on it, falling two floors. Things the DS Lite cannot survive: Falling three stories, being thrown against the wall and being ripped to pieces.

Have you ever heard of Broken Review? It appears to be a new website designed to take popular consumer electronics and then submit them to a range of increasingly painful durability tests, presumably to better inform the astute consumer. For now, however, it seems to be aiming for a space previously dominated by the infamous “Will It Blend?” — that of the gadget snuff film.
It’s painful, but we just can’t look away

The above video is definitely not for the squeamish. Broken Review's toughness tests are incredibly thorough and painful to watch. This video is the last in their series as the PSP managed to make it through the other three durability and stress tests while still working. They manage to finally break the machine beyond repair and then, just to make sure, throw it against a wall and tear it to pieces with their bare hands. Harsh.
