I need to come up with some quality justifications for my wife for why I need a $500 PS3 (Playstation 3)

Any suggestions? :please:

stress relief?

Or how about "It's my money and I'm getting it..so there"??

that works for me!:bright_id

LOL! Well, like Lauri101 says, it's stress relief and there's always the 'improve hand-eye co-ordination' argument...

I read today about pre-order scams so be careful ordering one from Ebay ( if you do, only go for those with hundreds of positive feedbacks) - I know Game Stop is sold out but you might have to be patient.

I'm a X-Box fan ( I love Halo) so I can't help you there but good luck on your arguments.. I'm sure you'll get a few more great ideas.

It will keep you out of the kitchen while she is cooking dinner, and it will help with your hand/eye coordination so that while operating your TV remote, you can still have a drink in your hand. With this coordination, none of your drink will spill on the floor. That's money saved from having to have your carpet cleaned.

In no time, the Playstation 3 will have paid for itself.

Well guys I ran some of those by her....It seems like she took them seriously...She increased the current odds of me getting one from 1% to 2% so I think it's working :kicking:

Ha, ha.. well you still have the trump card... start singing now.. to the tune of All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.. ready - go...

"All I want for Christmas is a Playstation, a Playstation, a Playstation..
All I want for Christmas is a Playstation or else I'll die "

After hearing that repeatedly for the next 7 weeks, my bet? It's all yours!

"Recent medical studies conducted by Jans-Hatpins have determine that men over 30 who utilize electronic game devices increase their overall virility and decrease future chances of Erectile Dysfunction."

How's that? :love_bed:

Offer her some shopping money in exhange for the PS3. Tell her, the PS3 will give you something to do while she is shopping.

You're confused. You don't really need excuses for a PS3, you need excuses for an XBOX 360 :)

Because that, in turn, will give you an excellent reason to go out and buy a nice 1080p television....MUAHAHAHHAAHAHAH!!!!!!

And that comes from a PS2 owner.

Hey Con - Pleeze lighten up! Your public profile shows you to be 58, at that advanced age don't be afraid to use the internet for research. The thread concerns a video game player, HALO is a game! I don't play video games (feel free to check my profile) but it took 15 seconds to "google" HALO.:Smiley053

Easy180-- Walmart has them November 17th 12:01 am for $599.00 - Wireless controller, memory stick, SD card slot, 60 GB - 1 per Customer..

You might think about camping out early - like starting tomorrow..:Smiley233

You'd better get there *darned* early - I've heard (but cannot state as fact) some stories that suggest each Wal Mart is only getting something on the order of 20 *per store* because Sony's initial production run is so limited - something like 400,000 units worldwide maximum.

All this due to parts and manufacturing problems associated with their BlueRay DVD format...

I do want one, but not bad enough to have to fight with parents of ultra-spoiled kids who will hold their breath if daddy doesn't get them one!

Think I will let it die down and get one in Jan or Feb

Has anyone seen the sad folks camping out all week at the Best Buy's etc.....I can see the northside Circuit City from my office and there have been two tents setup since yesterday to get their hands on a PS3

50 bucks say they immediately sell it on ebay for a $500 profit
