Get a job, when I was fifteen I worked. It's a little tougher to find work at that age, but not impossible.

those are all very good suggestions but finding a job is hard over here cuz the grocery store shut down for repairs and most places require ppl over the age of 18 and things along that line...... but please continue i love how helpful the ppl on the ps3 boards are lol :)

You can wait til and save on b day money and christmas money or find a way to gather half of what the PS3 costs then ask you parents to pay the other half for your Christmas present.

Actually that is a good one. We pay our sitters really well, it's almost ridiculous how much we have to pay teenagers to come watch our kids for a few hours. When I was in school to raise myself some money I used to carry around candy in my backpack and would make about $10-20 profit per day. I also started a business distributing flyers to homes for local businesses. You know those coupons you get on your door. I made thousands doing that and blew it on eating out, I had the coolest mountain bike ever and a nice truck.

I thought of another one, how about asking your teachers or any other professionals you know if they need any help. A lot of people are willing to pay cash for a little bit of help if you are dependable. For example: Grading tests and papers, typing documents for people, etc.. or if you were helping me you could keep me off of gamespot when I'm supposed to be punching in orders.

Work. I worked at a grocery store bagging groceries when I was 15, maybe you could do that.

If you already have some money, i'd say you should put money in the stock market, specifically Gamestop, since they are going to have a KILLER holiday season. Other good choices would be Capcom, which is in very good shape for the coming year financially and has some big announcements for the TGS. Bad choices would be sony, microsoft or nintendo. first because the PS3 is doing badly, second because video games are only a blip on its radar as a company, and third because its stock price is already crazy. You could also invest in online distribution services, it's up to you.

Yeah, I know a friend who sold ecstasy pills for 20 bone each. Buy them in bulk cause their cheaper and then you make lots of money.
