Pretty much the only thing good we can find to say about the Pumgo Scooter is that it gets you out of the boring narcissism-fest that is your local gym. That, and it’ll probably give you buns of steel.

The base price for Falcon's storied portable gaming system is just over $2,000 and in the past we've awarded it high ratings and even an Editors' Choice for low-cost gaming systems. Which is why the price point of the latest model, the Falcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Core i7), is particularly baffling.
