How on earth did that happen?! Well, that's an interesting story...

For the launch of Summer Athletics on Wii (also on PS2, 360 and PC), Eidos held an event in London which combined real sports and videogames in an interesting mashup... check out the Wii-lay, Gamecube Hurling, and the Xbox Putt!

BGB was there to film the day, and the video of the event has gone online today - as well as the full results of the three events, you can also get the full verdict on the latest track and field effort.

You can find the video at http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=1472.

Imagine all the bored children those systems could have gone to.

Those same bored children would end up smashing them anyway.

Also worth noting: Funny Gamecubes. Was that a UK-only color?

I can't imagine anyone even lifting the Xbox.

PS3-lifting :cool:

Lifting it's easy, it's throwing that's hard. I only got a measly 5 metres.

Where was the PS3 grill? I know that some of us gamers can cook slightly well.
