got a ps3, want a 360 aswell. NEED HELP!!!

i've had a ps3 for a year now and i love it. it's great. but all my friends have 360s. i want one aswell, nd i can get some really good deals.

Only problem is...my paents won't let me get it. i'm willing to pay for it with my own money and everything. bu they say i spend to much time in from of the tv and think that i already have a ps3, why would i need another thing like it.

what can i tell them to change their minds?

why, to play with ur friends? dont worry ur friends will get ps3's soon enough

as of right now the only reason to get a 360 would be for gears of war 2

ur parents are right

winner-ps3

Because all the other awesome games that he doesn't have for the 360 are completely invallid just because they're already out right? :lol: I highly doubt all his friends are going to go out and by another expensive gaming system anytime soon. :lol:

Anyways, this isn't for system wars.

Tell your parents you're willing to set up a time limit for your gaming or something.

Nothing you can say. But there is something you can do. Limit your play time a little.jangojay

thanks, i'll try try that....but i don't think it will really work.

and i'm newish to gamespot forums...i don't reall know wat category to post stuff under...

You shouldn't get it IMO. I think your parents are right in this case.

You should say something like... "well can you at least buy me a new mountain bike instead??" I bet you'll get it.

Ill give you some advice: show them wrong! go out and do stuff, get a job, show them you can make money on your own.

earn respect that way, and Im sure theyre willing to pay half the price of a 360, if not the whole price.

Tell them that all your friends have 360s and that u wanna play with them.I have all 3 new systems and in all honesty the 360 is basically the only one i play.Maybe put the ps3 up for sale to show them how serious u r.Xboxlive is the only reason i still play games.loudharley

Xbox live is the only reason I play games anymore as well!It's soo much better than PSN.It's the best fun I have had on a console for ages!!Xbox live rocks(except for the paying part)
