I kind of want a Nintendo Wii, but I'm thinking I might not play it very much and its hard to come by. Then I thought, maybe a new MP3 player? But I already have a decent one (Toshiba Gigabeat F20). I usually don't play video games, but Nintendo makes some fun games. I loved all the wario ware games and liked the Ocarina of Time. What should I do!? Should I buy the Wii or something else?

I know my answer is going to sound boring, but maybe if you weren't sure what to buy right now with your 300 dollars, I would put it aside or maybe even open a savings account and save it for later when you really know what you want to buy.
Honestly, the Wii looks pretty fun though.

Figure out what you need, not want. Decide if you really need it and is it worth the money.
You may want a Wii/PS3 (insert electronic gadget here that will be near worthless/outdated in a year), but you really don't need it. You said it yourself, you don't play video games, so don't get one.
If I were you, I'd save it and forget about it. You're going to need it later, that I promise you.

Sounds like you really want this game system but you're trying to convince yourself you don't need it. This is true you don't need it but who cares you're 14 let your parents take care of needful things. Now back to the money we definitely don't want to blow it all so go to EBay find what you want cheaper and be patience people are already trying to get rid of their Christmas toys you'll get a good deal then you can put the rest of your money in the bank.

This makes me feel old, but I would recomend some sort of savings bond, or check out putting it into a CD in a bank, your money could make lots more in a couple years.
I wish I had put money away when I was your age.
Good luck the choice is yours.

Have yoru parents open up a GMAC demand notes account - they pay 6%, and after a year you'll have $320 - don't think that just because you have money you need to buy anything - most wealthy people have always saved their money.

get your parents to open a savings account and put 200 in that and the other 100 buy new clothes or something.

Try to buy something that will leave some money leftover to use later in the year.

You should get yourself somethings that you'll use it but not to collect dust right ?
