Bing Crosby: If your kids give you any lip you can beat them with a sack of sweet Velency Oranges. They won't leave a bruise and it'll let 'em know who's boss, there's nooo doubt about it.

I can't agree with that. Hitting the kid even once is terrible imho. There are much better ways of punishment, ones that don't involve pain. If someone has to use physical force to deal with their kids, they don't deserve to be parents in the first place.
And kids are normal people, and should be threated as such.
My parents used to spank me with a flyswatter until I was about five.
It was more shameful than painful, as best as I can remember.
(there was also go to your room and count to 100)
if the parents themselves can set a good example discipline in any form will hardly be needed
obviously not the case with 99% of parents, though
Parents are not the only role models kids have.
Lots of times they're 9-5ers or work first shift, so young kids get sent off to daycare, where they can learn violence and bad habits from the other kids (or they can learn to open soda cans a new way, or get the idea that desecrating any sort of structure is bad, because when they're wood structures, the trees that provided the wood are in pain-.-) or from watching the power rangers xD
Then when they're older they have to go to school instead. And if they picked up too many bad habits, they'll be jaded to the shame of getting their card flipped or staying in at recess.
I can't say they're wrong for selling the XBox, but they're really doing it in an awful way. Leeza's right, this is going to backfire. Children need to know the consequences of their actions before they happen; they don't have the mental capacity to do much in the way of predicting consequences on their own. Surprising the kid is really, really messed up.
And physically "disciplining" your child is just plain an inferior "teaching" method, and though it may work in the short term, it's basically the equivilant of sticking your finger in the dam and watching the cracks spread around your finger. For some reason I find it hard to approve of parenting methods because they get some immediate effect and ignore the consequences when you could just, you know, be a good parent.
Hasn't this been out since sega master system anyway? They probably just make slight changes to the story as fashion dictates.

Spoken just like someone who does not have any children.
No form of physical punishment is ever necessary. And I am speaking from experience.
He might be a kid, but he's still a little person and deserves to be treated as such. In the case of kicking in the stereo system...you can ask yourself why he would do that in the first place? The answer usually will come down to either trying to get back at something the parents have done to him before or incorrect upbringing in the first place. It's seldom that you actually get a child that would do something like that just for the heck of it. Understand where the kid is coming from and deal with that end of things first, not the resulting end which results in stereos getting kicked in.

Hasn't this type of thing been done before? I distinctly remember some guy selling his son's PS2 on eBay.
Yeah, I'm mostly sure it's a hoax. Or an entirely fake screenshot. Most parents don't consider discipline (even bad discipline) as "revenge." xD
That's great that they're doing that, but the kid is going to be more of a brat now.
The kid deserves it if you ask me, but satisfying though the punishment may be, it's not going to help the situation one bit, and is definitely not the right way to go. Smacking isn't the solution either, so the trick is finding a firm but reasonable punishment.
If it was real, it's probably been sold by now.
Hey, don't diss the occasional smack. Worked for me. I was better behaved than any of you. Just a little judgemental.
