i would like to know how many of you ever used your manipulation skills to get a game, console and/or gaming accessories?

I have had my share of gameulation (manipulation + gaming). :lol: however, some of my systems came from straight kindness. For instance, I made good grades in school or there was a special occasion like my birthday or there was a crazy event that happened and someone just got me what I wanted.

This recent gameulation was on my father. My original plan was to sap him into paying half on a PS3 bundle from Walmart. However, I just wanted to see what he says cause I knew he wouldn't have anything near $200+ under short notice. Plus it said limited time only. I was poking around and found that Gen-X Genesis/NES gaming system (my last blog) on ThinkGeek.com for only $39.99. I still have my genesis and snes games so why throw out what's not broken?

So I put on my skills and sho nuff, he said he can put it on his girlfriend's card. I sent her the link and everything. It should be ordered by the next couple of days. He owed me anyway that's how I see it.

And what is your story?8)
