Author Topic: How can I convince my dad to get me a $350 computer?  (Read 1543 times)

Well? I really want this 350 dollar PC but my dad says either I get a PS3 or a PC. I kinda want the PS3 so I can play Little Big Planet 2 cause it looks awesome. But I want the new computer so I can run Champions Online. How can I convince him to get both?

Personally I think its only fair cause hes gonna get himself a new friggin cell phone.

Go be a spoilt friend elsewhere and stop trying to bankrupt your father using the excuse "It's unfair because he's getting something for himself!!111"

You're gonna get a really really really really really bad computer for that much.

exactly, your father works hard at his job to earn that money. Be lucky he's considering getting anything at all for you.

*Shudders*

It's got a celeron in it.

Buy it yourself. Don't rely on other people to buy you what you want; he didn't even have to offer anything to you in the first place, you know. It's his money, you have no control over it.

Also if he wants to get himself a new cell phone, so what? It definitely does not mean he should get you something far more expensive than it to make up for his purchases.

A 195$ one can. This one I've been using for a few years now and comes with 3GB ram, 2.30 Ghz and I can run some games without much lag.

Anyone who actually wants a gaming computer should just save up a thousand or two.

Basically this. I doubt it'll even run what you're buying it for.

More than likely it'll just be limited to browser games, and maybe a few others.

my best guess is that he is a minor.

Depending on where he lives, he can get a part time job at 15. Well, that's what his profile says, anyway.

Ever think he needs to get work calls and his old phone doesn't work anymore? Save up your own money and buy a better PC than a $350 one.
