Smashing Ruxpins

I was struggling not to point out the obvious, but why would you stand in line to buy a new console and smash it? I remember so many fads that were "must haves", but a console at $300 - $500 smashed? Crazy I tell you, crazy. Now, burning it in effigy, that I can see. I suppose next year I can buy the newest foreign compact (not Japanese), but Indian and smash it. I suspect it will go over like the Yugo. Yugo nowhere fast in it. Not only is the engine small and the car small, but so was the time spent in assembling it. Get a good bike, it will last unlike the car.
