I gave my son a PS3 for getting all A's on his grades. Ever since then, I only began to realize how much I wanted the PS3 for myself. It has amazing graphics and it's just so cool. I use to just play it while my son was at his camp but then I realized I could just keep it. I lied to my son telling him that the PS3 is broken and I'm sending it into repair, when I actually have it in my room (I play it at night when everyone is sleeping). It's so cool and I don't want to ever give it back to him. What's a good lie I can use so I can keep it?

You are a parent that is supposed to teach your child to share and to be honest yet you are showing that you cannot do so yourself.
Try talking to your son about setting up a schedule for each of you to get the opportunity to play. Stick the PS3 in the livingroom so that the entire family can enjoy it instead of hogging it to yourself.

Are you seriously asking this question? This has got to be a joke. How old are you anyway? Maybe he should be the parent and teach you some manners.
Hmmm, first of all...you could just put the thing in your family room where everyone can play it.
Man, you are an awesome role model....you can't share, you want to steal, and you are a liar. You had a child because???? Good luck raising a child with those high standards.
What is the world is wrong with you? Freak!

Don’t lie to your son! Give him back the PS3 and tell him how bad you have been! Unbelievable! Now, he is due a freebie get out of jail card for the next time he messes something up. You can share you know. And it may be that you two can be great rivals in a 2-player game. Yes, there’s tons of games that are in first-person and you get immersed in the game- work out some kind of schedule so you can both play. If you both like the same game, you can have a rivalry to see who can get to the highest level. Hope your son beats your pants off! I grew up on Atari and Intellivision, plus my parents owned an arcade- so I’d play Centipede, Defender and Pac Man and could outplay ANYONE (that includes boys). So, when my son was 3, I got the xbox for him and kind of for me. We have tons of fun on it and his hand-eye coordination is unreal! Now, we’ve got the xbox360 and Nintendo wii. Stop hiding in your room! I bet your son will think you’re cool, plus you’ll have a common interest.

Instead of lying to your son and keeping it hidden in your room. Keep it in the living room and tell him it is because you don't want him spending all of his time on the ps3 so it has to stay out there so that you can monitor his playtime (which is a good idea). If a grown man is addicted to the thing and is lying to his son so that he can play it, then you probably shouldn't have it in the house anyways.

im 14 so i know what would work, say something like (this is if you didnt get the warranty) they couldnt fix it cause it will cost as much as its worth new to get it repaired and idont wanna buy you a new one then get him a PSP or something like that instead of speandeing like double the price of a PSP on another one, if you did get the warranty then your completly screwed, but what you could do if you bought the warranty is mabye hook it up in a part of the house like the living room tv (if it isnt already) and sort of play it when he isnt

There isn't a good lie. Learn to share.
Set it up in the living room or den, and split playtime between the two of you. It's obvious he goes to bed long before you do, so let him play mid afternoon/early evening, and you play at night.
