Tell them it's a great BluRay player that'll allow them to watch movies in super high quality, you can use netflix, load videos/music/photos etc. on it, keep in touch with mates with it's friends list and surf the web with it's internet browser.
"It's not just a video game console, it's an entire entertainment hub! It does everything! (except play ps2 games)"

Convince them that it's more than just a game machine that'll absorb hours of your time while you're supposed to be doing homework, and they'll think of it as a more positive investment.

And tell them that all your friends have one, and you get picked on for being the odd one out.

Get good grades, do chores even when they don't ask, tell them you will be a good kid when you get it.

Don't ask them right away though. Tell them it has free Blu-Ray, free Wi-Fi, free online gaming, free USB to charge controller, free internet browser and compare all those to 360. 360: $100 HD DVD, $100 Wi-Fi adapter, $50 a year for online gaming, $30 to charge controller and no internet browser.

I'll say the same thing as the last thread. Tell them you can contribute to cancer research by using Folding@Home.

That is why I bought mine. Best investment I ever made. The sleek PS3 controller allowed me to kill a pedo bear on my front lawn this past Monday.

ill come up with the most complex and sophisticated answer like this: k so u say this " Mother, father, I am tired of being deprived of the masterful ps3. It will open up a magnavox of odyssey for my troubled perplexed mind, and it will relinquish my inner strenght while pursueing my intellecual compacity to the full potential of a fortitude of grace. My parents, you musn't become oblivious to the correctional state my mind could have bestowed upon it with the ps3, and with the ps3 I will achieve my fight agauinst an overwhelming and reliant foe that cant take the decibal of proportational instotuity. May i be bestowed with this gaming machine" say that and i guaranteee you'll get it

Be sure to hand your folks a dictionary before you say this though.

Only thing I can think of that could convice your parents is that the PS3 actually has a web browser on it and even though it may not be the fastest, easiest thing to use it can still get the job done. My dad hates it when me and my sister go on the only computer we have and unintentionally download viruses on the computer. So, I can check e-mail or get directions to get to my next job site without having to boot my dad off the computer.

Or tell them you want it so you can play Killzone 2, and blast people in the face while screaming obscenities at them.

Ofcourse they're not going to tell you if they gonna buy you a ps3 or not. they want it to be a surprise. So right now they might act like they dont want to but when its time to give the presents...you'll be surprised!!

I remember when I was 11, and I badly wanted the PS1 and FFVII. So I bought a bunch of those little yellow post-its, and I wrote "PS1 FFVII" on them, and post them everywhere. On doorknobs, bathroom mirror, inside of the toilet lid, food in the fridge. Did this for about a month, and lo and behold, I unwrapped a PS1 and FFVII on Christmas Day. Although, it helped my dad was a gamer and a fan of Final Fantasy as well, but hey. I got my PS2 by presenting a logical argument to my dad, and we ended up splitting the cost. If you get allowance or have (or can get) an after school job, try that.
