I think you're doing it wrong, mom.

I put a PS3 on my birthday list, not really expecting to get one, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to include it anyway. The list doubles as a wants list for myself, and helps me prioritize my spending.

My mother just walked into my room and asked "Hypothetically, if you were to get a PS3, what color would you want?" She also asked if there was a ( Read more... )

That is really awesome! ;; i think it is nice they're considering it. fffff. i remember that happened to me when i got my gamecube for christmas (launch year, even) it was the *only* thing i had asked for and...same thing happened to me the whole "hypothetically speaking, what game would you want anyway" type of thing. lklkafa.

that's really nice though. c:

This wasn't the only thing I asked for, but it was at the top of my list. Everything else on the list I gave my mother was "mother-friendly" (meaning no Japanese CDs or items from Japan or things she couldn't find in stores). XD

Is there any difference in the slims and standard PS3s as far as reliability goes? Even if I don't get one for my birthday, I'll probably have enough by the end of July to buy my own. But I don't want to buy a model that will break within a year or two.

My father never has any idea what I'm getting until I open my gifts. My mom will tell him what she bought but he'll forget.

Hahaha I HEAR YOU ON THAT. I usually just put down vidya games on my list and see what happens. Though 99% of the time I get random things I didn't ask for. WHICH IS COOL AND ALL but idk sometimes i just want a game ok. D:

Also, uhhhhhhh as far as I know, I haven't heard anything about the slim models breaking. however it's only been out for a short amount of time. :\

The only ps3s I've heard of breaking are the launch models, which you won't find in stores anyway. (Those are the backwards compatible ones :I) I mean, idk, I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it still works fantastically. I think just as long as you take good care of it it'll last you. c:

and even though i find the slim model uglier than the older one, it does have a 250gb drive...but lol i have an 80gb and still have over half my space free so there's that too

Too bad the Wii has no good vidya games. ;__; Minus Mario Galaxy 2, which is also on my list. I also get a lot of random things I didn't ask for (mostly because the stuff I want is becoming hard to find in stores, or else I would already own it) but there is usually at least one thing from my list.

Well, I don't normally mistreat my consoles. Though my PS2 hates me for some reason.

How many games do you own for the PS3? I'm probably going to get a 120gb drive. I don't think I'll have a problem with running out of space...

Hahaha I love how practical this is.

I hope you get a PS3; that would be fun!

Practical? I don't really understand what you're trying to say (unless you mean my outlook on gifts and money in general).

Thanks. There are so many games I want to try.

Sorry! I meant your mom. I love how direct and efficient she is -- many other parents dance all around and don't ask up-front and end up getting a gift that their child doesn't really like. Your mother may ruin the surprise element, but she assures that she gets a gift that you will really love. Ha.
