I'm having a hard time convincing my parents to let me purchase an Xbox. I wasn't really all that anxious for GTA but when I saw the perfect 10 review I began to think "Hey, I have tons of money from birthday and graduation.)

But my parents are...jaded. Jaded? Maybe the wrong word, but I've tried my best to convince my dad to let me get it. It's mainly due to the fact that I have a Wii...but all I want to do is buy a couple of the better games (mainly GTA) and beat up hookers :(

Have any ideas on how to persuade him?

1. I don't know why I'm not allowed. They wanted me to save up my money (and I did.) They are being a bit controlling with (my) money.

2. It's not graduation eighth grade, really. It's graduation grade school (1st to 8th grade).

Trolls can do that to a topic.

IMHO I don't think you should get GTA4. I don't see why they won't let you get a 360 though.

Wow...

you shouldn't be such a dick if you don't want people hating on you but then you hate on them. MOST places don't have "grade school" from 1st-8th. I know a lot of places go from K-5th or K-6th and then have "middle" school or "Jr. High" which would be 6th-8th or 7th-8th. So I think you need to re-think your strategy of not being hated on.
I will now go on to say that I personally don't think you're mature enough to be playing those kind of games. I am glad that parents don't let their kids get that kind of game. If more of them did that then we wouldn't have all these stupid kids playing gears of war and calling everyone noobs and whatnot. I have nothing against young gamers, but I DO have a problem with young, IMMATURE gamers.

1. Okay okay...my bad...geez.

2. I don't use words like noob and stuff. They make you sound idiotic. And don't think that every player under 15 acts like that.

Ya well joking around like that makes you sound very immature. You even state in your opening post that you just want to beat up hookers. Makes you sound really immature.

Either way mature or immature I don't think that any one that cannot buy this game on there own should get it.

you're not old enough to play GTA IV, maybe if you were 15 or 16 and in high school. but i see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed just the 360, it's your money and you should be able to do what you want with it.

Well, I'm against underage persons playing mature rated games. I think it is one of the reasons that video games are used as a scapegoat for societal violence. I know that game developers need to have a certain degree of moral responsibility and that a lot of times they throw all caution to the wind and make games full of violence and sex and profanity just because they can (for example, Kane and Lynch). There are so many explicit moments in GTA4 that I, as an adult, find shocking. I think you should respect your parents' decision and wait until you are eighteen or whatever age they set for you.

just tell your dad that its not anything new to you, just say there's worse things out there for example porn or drugs, I'm pretty sure he would much rather you play a video game where you can get drunk, bang women, shoot cops. rob stores, get lap dances, kill hookers, hi-jack cars, date women, and watch people snort coke. yea that's not bad at all, he'll understand =]

Just explain to your dad that the game will be a great introduction into the real world for you, and by that I mean how harsh the real world is.

In all honesty though, you really shouldn't have GTA at your age. The amount of violance and course language in the game is nothing that a young lad like you should be exposed too. Just stick with your wii, no offence against the wii, I absolutely love that system. If you want a good game which is similiar to GTA I suggest getting the godfather game and Driver Parralel Lines.

Anyhow I hope that helps.

I'm going to go kill hookers now!!!!.........on GTA of course.

Haha wow that wasn't supposed to post :P meant for another internet tab I had open, writing a review on The Strangers. Anyway, the best way to get your parents to let you get one is just act mature. I'm not saying your not, but parents look for responsibility. If you can show you'll do well in school, and be a responsible kid, they'll throw you a bone. Look at it like a job, just like you parents go to work to get a paycheck, you go to school to get rewarded. And, I really hate to sound like I'm lecturing, but in all honesty, though they did give it to you, if it's from your parents they can still say it's their money lol. One of the many negatives about getting money from family. Good luck with all that though, hope to see you get the 360, as well as GTA. As for the topic title, I don't get why everyone was saying it made him sound immature, I've read numerous threads with weird titles and that never crosses my mind. This is the internet, sarcasm is like second nature.

This has been a most interesting read. I honestly don't see why you can't have a 360, but I do agree that the games you get be monitered by the rating. No offense, I know that there are mature teens out there who can handle themselves with M reated games, but, it's the whole principle of the matter. Sorry, but you should be glad that your parents care enough to not just let you do what you want. Again, I'm not saying you can't handle maturity, but it's the principle of the matter.

lol we all hate immature gamers, but i think that's the new force is driving the gaming industry. I bet you at least a quarter of the copies of GTA were INDIRECTLY sold to kids under 17. When i mean indirectly, i mean getting their parents to buy it, getting their older friends to buy it, etc. There is always a loophole for everything hahaha

So your about to start High School and you want to buy a 360 so you can beat up hookers? I don't know if your mature enough to get a game like that your parents may be right in this instance.
