Yeah, unless he bought you the PS3 for your birthday, it seems like a bit much.

You're pretty freakin generous for someone your age to give a present of such substantial value. Be a typical teenager and let your mom buy the console and you get him a year subscription to Game Informer.:)

Easiest solution is probably sell the PS3 and buy the 360 or what everyone else said ask your parents

The best I could suggest is get a part time job, thats how I got mine but it took a while. Or you could ask your parents to meet you half way.

Don't want to let him down...? If my brother asked me for a console I'd slap him in the face, and tell him to buy his own like I have to.

But thats me

But for you, maybe get a job at a fastfood restaurant, or a store and work and save up money for half the console. Then ask your parents to chip in the other half. If you get a job soon, you should be able to get enough money for half. Or maybe a paperroute? lol

hey matt. you're probably one of the nicest dudes i've ever met online. the thought of wanting to make your bro happy for his birthday shows the kind of person you are. that's awesome. i'm the same with my bro.

well man as far as suggestions go.. tell your parents about your plan. if you guys can agree on you doing small things around the house and getting paid for it would be great. trade in some games or sell them to your friends. i also know of places that buy garage stuff or school books. let's see what else.. you can also ask your parents for 20 bucks to go to the movies but you either just hang around the mall and keep the money or only spend half of it. keep saving up the money until march. you can alsotry to save at least 2-3 dollars per day.. may not seem like much but you might end up with a $100. you can also get change you find around and collect every single one and then take them to a place where you can exchange it for bills. those are the first ideas that come to mind. good luck man!

Two words man, two words...."human trafficking." You can make thousands fast. Problem is, how do you get back to the states without a U.S. passport? Worse yet, you probably don't speak Portugese, Spanish, or any language other than English, but with a swift mind and cajones of steel, you'll make it back. Possibly in time for his birthday next year.

if you aren't that attached and you are getting desperate sell the ps3. also if your parents need help with things help them cause it may make them more inclined to buy it, thats what i did when i wanted one for my birthday!

Kudos to you for the gesture. I suggest asking your parents and if that doesn't work get a job and buy it.

Whatever you do though, don't buy a used console. I know you're short on money, but the ring of death won't be covered if you buy it used.

Buy it in your parent's credit. That's how I bought my 360 (of course, I used my own credit card)

You could cross out the PS replace it with Xbox and add 60 to the 3 on ur playstation :P Ask your parents for the money then say you'll get a job to pay them back or meet them halfway or something(what are they getting him?) a 360 is alot for a 14 year old on his birthday so he shouldn't expect any more and if he does he's ungrateful and doesn't deserve the 360.

Step 1: Tell ur parents about ur plan.. (Wouldnt it suck if u went through all this trouble to find they're getting 1 for him?!)

Step 2: Negotiate w/ them (meet half way.. ect...)

Step 3: If negotiations fail... get a job, trade in games.. if u buy lunch at school save a small portion of it.. (it adds up!)

or buy a 2nd hand one, from gamestation they give you 1 year gurantee, and any problems you get it swapped straight away, same visit to the shop when u bring it back, they just give you another 2nd hand one to replace it , 2nd hand should save some cash. get him a core. they sell them for £155 with 2 games in gamestation, that should ease the cash problem by half

I don't even understand why you're spending that much money on him. Most siblings don't spend more than 30 or 40 bucks on eachother.
