I've come to a conclusion

So here's the story..despite all the suggestions everyone told me, I told my parents I didn't want anything for Christmas. That means more money in there pocket and they didn't have to worry about me. Also despite that, I asked my Aunt and Uncle I wanted a PS3 for Christmas with a few games because my friends persuaded me that the 360 wasn't the way to go. But then, later today, my mom and dad came to me and discussed about me not asking for anything. They told me since I didn't know what I wanted/didn't want to get anything, they were going to give me a $350 debit card to spend on whatever I please. At first I refused (no seriously, I refused it) but they insisted and I was shocked, and didn't know what to say. So not only will I get a PS3 for Christmas, but I'll possibly also be getting a 360 and maybe a phone/modchip for the Wii with the debit card! So thanks for all the suggestions guys. You guys really helped me out.

~Regards, Raiyu245

u might as well buy it, i wouldnt though, since my passion is for music and not games, i would saddle me up a usb audio port to hook up my strat with new pickups that i would buy and play my dream of being a guitarist into my computer with guitar rig 3
 
Have a good time with your gift!

For me, I'm probably not getting anything over 20 bucks. In fact, I didn't get anything last year, lol.

That sucks man. Maybe this year will be different.
 
I'm getting a Wii this Christmas(more like I asked for it) and I was given 500 bucks to spend the last 3 Christmases or so, I just saved them just in case I need them for emergencies, you could do it too! You'll never know when you'll need 350 bucks! Or maybe just use half of it and ask your folks to just give you the remaining amount in cash!
 
Stop being selfish and donate the $350 to Costello!

He needs the cash to maintain the sites servers and buy smokes and booze! :grog:
 
Ehhh.. You didn't ask your parents for anything (which is very kind and considerate) but you asked your aunt and uncle for a PS3? :wtf:

I take it that's normal in the USA? We never get anything from our relatives over here, only from our parents, brother(s)/sister(s) and grandparents.

Well actually, I didn't ask for it from them. It's a family present from them therefore my brothers and I chose to get one while my sister gets her own gift from them.

Nope, he's just spoiled. Most people I know only get rpesents from their parents, and that's IF they get presents.

I'm not spoiled! Christmas is a big thing in my family because its a time to see our family and have a fun time. Besides, the PS3 isn't my gift, its a family gift. My brothers had a say in it too, not just me D:
 
Why 360 and PS3? It's pointless. Instead of wasting money and getting both, then deciding which to play, managing 2 accounts and playing games that are almost the same but with different graphics and storyline?
+ since you have a Wii, you'll have 3 consoles, which is just a total waste.

I never said I was getting a 360 I said I was possibly getting one I haven't decided. I might just buy a game or two and a camera and thats it.

"And that's it". Wow, you have absolutely no clue about the value of money. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your Christmas, and I hope you realize how lucky you are. Not everyone get's like 700 bucks worth of stuff for Christmas.

    @Kirbydogs, It's the same as Animal Crossing New Leaf but with Amiibo capabilities.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And that game was released in 2012 lol.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Yeah, only played New Horizons before.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Kirbydogs, You gotta start off with Wild World, then move onto New Leaf, then tell me what you think was the best AC game.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Ok, will do.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    New Leaf is still my only favorite Animal Crossing game of all-time.

    Nintendo used to give away free house decorations through QR codes for ACNL.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Woah, that's pretty interesting!
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    @Kirbydogs It's a long story...
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I very much dislike New Horizons that's for sure, I got it on release day, and I always disliked it, but I didn't expect that it would end up actually being universally bad and disliked.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    My only problem is that it gets *pretty* boring...
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    The games before New Leaf, I did play each of them for a bit, but never really got into them that much
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    New Leaf was my first Animal Crossing game, and I spent so many years with it, it's a very important part of my past, so many great memories, it's just such a great game, it is my favorite of all time, and probably the game I spent the most time on, too.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Makes sense!
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Well, that's long story short.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    hey guys today we make long story short
