Glad that's out of the way.

after all, who would want a top of the line next gen system with full media center functionality over a piece of plastic worth a few bucks!?

[Garfunkel]

my parents always used to say "cards are good" "big things come in small packages"

personally, i think i would take the ps3 ;)

[LiquidEagle]

psh, fanboys...

[Shadow Voa]

I dont know about you guys, but my parents would never have bought me something like the PS3 for Xmas ever!! It's just so damn expensive costing me I think around $745 CAN. Realistically speaking from my own personal experience, Ive never seen anyone or know anyone who had parents spend this kind of money on an Xmas gift, its just completely pricey even for a holiday gift!!

My mom. Well that ruins your whole theory.

LOL

Realistically speaking from my own personal experience I dont personally know you Nights, so youre circumstances are different from the real people I know. Glad you got one, but around here that kind of thing doesnt happen.

[Nights]

Where do you live? Demographic might be a factor...

[LiquidEagle]

hehe, I know what ya mean... I would never get something $600 (or even $500) for Christmas... Good thing I won 2 of 'em! :laugh:

neither, it took 3 months of solid nagging for my mum and dad to buy me a 300$ AUD PS2 or a 199$ AUD PS1

It's best to always start your argument with "Now I haven't bought anything for a long time and I don't spend much cash and as you know, Christmas is coming...."

You might also want to squeeze in a few good words about the gift you want (in this case a PS3). But don't just brag about it. so for example your dad is out of HDD space on his laptop? Say "See? If we had a PS3, I could transfer some stuff on there."
Or maybe your mom wants to do shopping but is too lazy to leave the couch, you can say "See, if we had a PS3, you could turn it on now and do online shopping."

That's all the tip I can give you, good luck guys.
For all the Europeans out there, skip your Christmas present so you'll have a good argument come March..."As you know I didn't ask for a Christmas gift this year..."

[Sephiroth_VII]

Yeah, a PS3 would be a completely unrealistic wish here, too. At most, my family would buy me a Wii, if they weren't sold out...

I did get a ~200 USD gift card for the electronics store where I preordered it though, so guess what I'm gonna use that for...

Some sort of Notebook that allows me to discover who you were, catch you and sentence you to death so that you never achieved your perfect world?

*chuckles as he wrote that*

[Garfunkel]

ROFL! errr....i won't ask.

[Shadow Voa]

Joke between friends ;)

[Sephiroth_VII]

...You'll never catch me! I'm a true genius, and the God of my perfect world!!!!

[Shadow Voa]

^ Youre immature Seph! Lol

oh of course you are. ;)

[woundingchaney]

I would like to take this moment to state that I fucking hate gift cards. Why would anyone limit the abilities of cash. I get these damn gift cards for Lowes or Sears (as if I give a shit about tools, hells bells the only thing I work on is my pc and how many damn screwdrivers does a guy need).

-end rant-

[Shadow Voa]

*gets wounding a giftcard for Best Buy*

;)

You're also immature, and hate to lose! L_oser

:cheers:

EDIT: Go to sleep!! You need more than a few hours...

True. I've tried to explain this to my family, but they keep giving me gift cards.
What's wrong with Danish Crowns!?!?!?

[Garfunkel]

i hate giftcards, but i love pressies full of money. ;)

[VG Aficionado]

LOL, that reminds me of every time TV news report how bad videogames are for the children and whatnot. Of course they're bad: they prevent children (and adults) from watching your crappy schedule!!!

i hate those reports because the "experts" have never played a game ever and have no experience.

[jaxmkii]

My mom. Well that ruins your whole theory.

@ 24 your mom is still dropping 600+usd gifts on you on Xmas?

[Shadow Voa]

Thats a special bond! An Xmas bond!
