Who doesn't love getting getting gifts on Christmas? From weird, tacky sweaters from well-meaning relatives to snow-globes from cash-strapped (but beloved) friends, there's always bound to be something that'll catch our fancy as we rip up gift box after gift box.

And for those who get lucky, they just might find something uber-cool under that wrapping paper - like a new game, or *shudder*, a new PSP. But before you even turn the thing on, or shout it out to the world, remember two things: One, who's giving it to you (friend of foe)? Two, does he/she have a malicious grin on his/her face as you open up the package? As the old Cold War proverb goes: Trust but verify.

We just found this video of a guy preparing a prank he's pulling on his younger brother, and it involves a brand-new PSP, a cheap PSP knockoff, wrapping paper, a ribbon, and a video-cam. But don't take our word for it - watch the video and see how he's pulling together part one of the ploy.


In retrospect, it could've been worse - he could've swapped in a Pink PSP.

This guy is an ***hole for doing this to his little brother. If I was the little brother, after opening the present, I would spit in my older brother's face and then scream and throw the fake PSP at him, like Naomi cambel did with her PDA when she threw it at her maid. Now that would be a funny video. Lol!

That's a decent prank though. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of it.

 » um..

No one thinks that is a bit mean? I hope he gets the real one after his shock. I still have bad memories of christmas pranks a lot like this played on me (such as the neighbors inviting us over christmas to show that they had gotten the fourwheeler I was supposed to be getting or getting ready 2 rumble for PSX with my new dreamcast) that ruined much of my happiness for those occasions. So mean. I'm scarred, really. :P

im sure hes gunna give him the real PSP after, but I find that a hilarious idea, and if i founnd one of those pieces of crap and an extra $200, I would do that

Keep us updated on this one QJ, I just hope hes not a total turd snatcher and gives him the psp or at least has a lenient sharing agreement with him.
What I thought as I was reading this was giving a bricked psp, or one with a corrupt gameboot or version change a ta-082 so it says 1.5 and have the person go mad.

But Im pretty dark humored I guess. And it'd have to be someone that really had it comin'

If the younger brother found out, he should get his parents to help him do the same type of thing to the older brother.

 » yes!

I'm all for this prank. My older brother and friends did something similar to me for my birthday. They 'gave' me a game that they know that I didn't want (which sorta got me pissed) and had me search around the house for the real game xD.

Mean. Yes. Funny. Hell yes. Can't wait to see the kids reaction.

It would be funnier if he put the real psp in the fake package, then when he gets pissed you gave him a piece o crap call him ungatefull and keep it himself.

 » You people are sick

What is so *****ing funny about some little kid opening what he thinks is the package of his dreams - turning his older brother into a hero - and then crashing his dreams and suprise, and if young enough, making him cry on Christmas morning when everyone should be happy.

If you find this funny and amusing - you are definately not a person with good morals but more importantly a person who needs some guidance in their lives because you are clearly a rotten person.
