how do i convince my parents to ge me a nintendo wii?

Question

I really want a nintendo wii so how do i convince my parents to get me a ninteno wii?

Answer 1

First of all, don't be a glutton. You're asking your parents for a Wii, a DS *and* a PSP. And a holiday in New Zealand.

Offer them something in return. For example, that you will pay back the Wii in rates with your pocket money. Or what you are willing to sell to get money off.

Your parents say, there isn't enough money in the family, so try to make them money. Take a job, walk the dog of your neighbours or something like that.

*Earn* yourself the privilege to get the console.

However, as you already said in your DS question: All your friends have the DS. So get the DS, play with your friends and swap games with them.

Answer 2

As a proud owner of a nintendo wii I'd recommend showing your parents the PS3 and moan at them so much lol then show them the wii and by comparison the wii is a lot cheaper and will help you keep fit.

Or you could earn the money yourself/help out around the house.

Answer 3

most parent's respond well to "bribes". offer to do extra chores to 'pay' for it yourself. granted, a wii is going to cost quite a bit of chores, but if you really want it, you shouldn't just try to convince them, you should help 'pay for it' in the manner of extra chores.
why?
think about it. how much does a wii cost? a couple hundred bucks, right? between 200-300 dollars, right?
okay think of it like this. lets say your parents are well off and they have an extra 300 bucks just laying around. their kid wants a next gen console. what is in it for them to spend that three hundred bucks on something they will probably never use?
Chores. I dont know a single person on the planet that LIKES doing chores. but they have to be done. the bathroom needs cleaning, the dog poop in the front yard needs disposing of, the dishes never end. while they will probably never use the WII, they would certianly appreciate the 20 minutes of spare time you've just freed up for them by cleaning the bathroom for mom, or the two hours cleaning the garage for dad.
You can offer, i would reccomend, to work 'minimum wage' depending on what it is in your state, tell them you will work, doing the chores, until it's paid off. but don't try to skip out by spending three hours cleaning the bathroom, thats a quick way to still have to clean the bathroom, and not get the reward.

Answer 4

Start earning some of the money yourself, Get your grades up, and tell them it is great exercise for the whole family, even grandma will want to play it.

Tell them it comes with games! No need to purchase anything else to start having fun.

Answer 5

tell them that if you would pay for like o lets say $200 and ask them if they will do the rest and if they say maby or even a light yes start to suck up and do chores that u dont usaly do and make them dinner and all that. rember after u get it u still need to do some of the stuff you start doing when u sucked up.

it should work

Answer 6
