Fake or not, the consequence is right in line with good parenting. You ruin something or take something that is not yours, you pay. In this case, the PS2 is the child's and he needs to suffer the consequences of his actions. My kids have had to pay for what they have ruined and if the PS2 didn't bring in enough money, I'd sell something else too.
Note: She left her son at the skate rink and he came home without permission. She sounds like a frustrated, but perfectly reasonable parent to me.
