Bottom line:
If someone has forked out $400 for a completely unecessary piece of entertaiment equipment, what difference to the world does it make whether they go and sit zombie like in front of it for 12 hours solid, or if they smash it to pieces?
None. Either way it could be considered a waste of $400, depending on your perspective. Sure, he could have sold it and donated the money to charity.
But then, so could all the rest of the people who bought an X-Box yesterday - surely that's part of the point of the whole stunt?
