Undo Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I got like $225 birthday money from a couple weeks ago and I want to blow it all on something fun!(: New game console maybe? All I have is a PS2!): I COULD use a new cell phone! And I don't really like to read, so don't suggest one of those Nooks! xD 1. "My ear's in a cup, I guess that doesn't count..."2.

Ermy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Seeing as I aren't from the US I haven't the foggiest on prices, but my only tip is; if you do plan on buying a console try and factor in online too. Playing by yourself is mostly a waste. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'd save it for now. If you want a console, I recommend the PS3, but dont get it if you'll have nothing left over for a game or two. I made that mistake with my Wii when I first brought it. >.< Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbrideau Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Before choosing between the Xbox and the PS3, try the controllers. I went with the Xbox because of the much better controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorLepRecon Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Especially since a couple months ago I read an article about how the 720 and PS4 will be delayed on their expected release date due to some kind of technical difficulties. :/ Those are 100% rumors. We do not even know the name of the next consoles to be released. Honestly, I'd save the money, but if you need to I might invest in some PS2 games that you missed. They are cheap enough now that you'd be able to get quite a lot of them for a small amount of cash.

Iconic Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yeh, I think saving it would be the best option because if you keep saving money in the end you will be able to afford a boat, and a boat is much cooler than a ps3. And so's a ps4, I'll bet you'll be pretty pissed if you get a ps3 and a month later a ps4 or a Kinect comes out. [Falador tavern] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficus1055 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Save up for a car.Driving lessons.School. Anything really worth it to put it to.Rather then video games. This is pretty much the best post on this topic. Don't waste your money on video games, you grow out of them (or at least I did, rather quickly), and you can find much better things to put your money towards.

You don't need to spend money just because you can Everything in these two posts is the best advice here. As a older person (18+) you should be saving that money, as a younger person (18-) you should be investing it accordingly. Assuming you're under 18, getting out of high school will come eventually and you DON'T want to be behind socially nor financially.

sarg1010 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Put it towards something you will actually use. Use it to learn a skill or something. buy a lock-picking set like me. Put it towards a car or car insurance. Buy a knife and learn how to defend yourself with one. Take a martial arts class. Or just save it. But it anything get an xbox instead of a ps3... :twss: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

indy500fan Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 VIdeo games aren't necessarily a waste of money, if you really enjoy them then it is most likely worth it. Games do go down in value a lot though, as well as the consoles or PC you use them on. So I'd suggest never, ever spending more than $20 on any game, and it will almost always be worth it, even if the game is short or not all that great. That's what I am doing right now, buying a [cabbage] ton of old games that I missed playing (currently on Baldur's Gate, bought the 4 game set for $14). Saving the money could also be a good idea, depends on how steady of an income you have. Things do get much more expensive when you get older, and if you don't save up enough then you may be stuck in your parents basement when you are 23... not that I know anything about that.
