Plate armour to protect PS3
Not bullet-proof
Defending yourself from virtual bullets in Metal Gear Solid 4 will be hard enough, but keeping your PlayStation 3 free from everyday scrapes is another matter. Thankfully, Amazon’s now selling console armour to do just that.
The breastplate-like cover is punched out from aluminium and clips onto the console’s curved face. A section’s cut out so that the PlayStation 3 logo is still visible, you know, just in case the armour makes you mistake the gaming unit for a tank.
Playstation 3 Hardwear Console Armor: maximum console protection?
A “soft silky texture” runs across the underside of the armour to prevent it from scratching the PS3, whilst also keeping dust and grime away from your beloved unit.
If you’re looking for maximum PS3 protection though, then a smaller breastplate is also available to protect the console’s controller.
The Playstation 3 Hardwear Console Armor is available now online for $20 (£10/€13), while the Playstation 3 Hardwear Controller Armor costs $10 (£5/€7).

Completely pointless
I think the only thing more stupid than this "armour" is the morons who'd waste their money buying it. This is hardly the first stupid, pointless waste of money of a console accessory to hit the market but I'd definitely put this at the top of the list.
Recursion...
The alminium looks so shiny and nice. But what if it got scratched? I wonder if anyone sells protective covers for them...
If it manages to stop him being a one-note Sony shill...
...you can borrow my hammer, AC.
This all strikes me as completely pointless, but then pointless case bling exists for every console, so some idiot must be buying it.
Bet I Could Break Mark's PS3...
Give me the tools and i shall do it
Useless...
The PS3 is pretty indestrictable as it is. It's the "other" console that needs protection...
