Question

Hello!
Money is tight these days...and all i ever wanetd to do was buy my some what he wanted most.
He has been doing well in school..we tried to get him a ps2 last year..but couldnt even afford that.
ebay.this ebay that, cant really rely on just ONE source, and wanted to buy a ps3 for my son, and his borthday in novmber 6.
All those free ps3 offers are just lies, so i dont both with filling out hours of offers and then waste money and time.
I'm looking for alot of help..so if you could..that would be great!

Answer 1

well if your not able to get a ps2 i don't think you'll be able to get a ps3 because i doubt they will sell the ps3 cheaper than the ps2. if you wait the price will drop in time, but if you need it within this week i think ebay would be the best option.. but i don't trust ebay.

Answer 2

You can find a cheap Playstation 3 in stores everywhere. The 40GB PS3 is $399, and the 60GB and 80GB PS3's are $499, that's pretty cheap to me considering that I paid $685 for my 60GB PS3 back in December 06.

You need to just save money every month. Basically if you save $100 dollars per month, you can buy a PS3 in 5 months. If you can't even afford a PS2 that costs $129, I don't know what to tell you. I guess you can buy a used PS2 for him because those are cheaper, but it's not the same because when you buy something for someone like your son you want it to be new.

You could try the classified ads in your area or pawn shops. Used is only way to go if money is tight. Make sure the pawn broker gives you some kind of warranty. I understand trying to get something your child really wants and being on a budget. Good Luck!
