My parents object at the idea of me buying a ps3 with my own money!?

Question

I know people dont want to be bothered with these kinds of questions but i just need some ideas. Heres the deal, this past christmas my parents bought me a wii with a lot of acessories total=$600. And they said that's the last game console they were going to buy me, my dad is very uptight about video games and this whole generation he thinks we are not going anywhere, im 15 by the way. anyways he thinks i should get a job and stuff rather than just stay at home and play video games and the like. but i work hard during the school year and a straight a student only made one b this year and play two sports(basketball,tennis). Im all ready to buy the ps3 have all the money and everything, should I just wait and bring this up at christmas time. Any ideas?

Answer 1

do some chores around the house to show them responsibility,and do not i repeat DO NOT BUG THEM 24/7 ABOUT IT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that is the best advice i can give u oh,and be really nice.tell them how great it is and tell them about yur friends who have it.also say i dont want to be a spoiled brat about it so i will pay for.even though u have the money work so it will show them responsibility.that usually charms them

GOOD LUCK!

hope this helps!

Answer 2

tell you mom and dad at dinner or something and say "hey mom i want a ps3"if your dad says to "should get a job and stuff rather than just stay at home and play video games" tell your dad your not 18 you don't need to worry about getting a job or the economy

say its your money and that this doesn't effect them at all

Answer 3

Well. Christmas might work but all the great games are comeing out before hand.

Idk. Tell them you like the Wii and all but PS3 is a hardcore gameing system. And its not fair to call it a gameing system really when its more media home based then it is for gameing. Look up its processor. It wasn't made for gameing which is why the PS3 is so good.

It has a web browser for intenret. 1000 MB ethernet port. A blue ray player which is like 400 bucks alone in stores. and list goes on.

Its more then gameing. Its life.

Answer 4

why do you want to buy a PS3? Wii is a pretty good console. plus, don't spend your money on a PS3 . I know the graphics are good and the game-play is wicked and all that. but you are going to regret it soon. I think your dad is somehow right. I spent the whole summer of 2007 playing with my new PC. I played COD 2 and Medieval 2 . at that time I was enjoying it and I thought life could not have been better. and now that I think about it, so what? I spent one summer playing and I didnt benifit from it. and now all the pleasure and joy is gone. I dont deny playing video games. I myself sometimes play some video games but dont get obsessed with it. dont buy a PS3 . cling to your Wii. Wii has got good controll and there are good games coming out for wii as well. like harry potter where your wand is the controller and the experience is crazy. or call of duty 3 which is simply astonishing.

siriously if you have not played harry potter 5 yet. get the Wii version and play it. and then play it on  PS3 somewhere. you wont want to buy a PS3 anymore.
