From what I understand, in Canada money comes in all different colors. I hear there are purple ones, green ones, red ones, and brown ones..... Although all I see are blue ones, so I don't know if that was all true or not.

Fine. You can be stupid and talk ****. Afterall, I can't prove it, but see you all on launch day on XBOX LIVE GOLD. (BTW, what games are live compatable? All of them Im guessing, right? I hope NFS:MW is! Also, the only thing they are buying is the bundle. I have to buy everything else I want myself.

:hardcore:

EDIT: What games are you guys gonna get on launch? (I wish I could get the Ultimate Bundle at EB games.

[ll Mista GT ll]

BTW Salmy,

What's your Xbox 360 Live Gamertag going to be? Just want to know so we can talk when we ge the system ;)

[Reclaimer]

lol, why isn't "no, I'm buying one myself" a choice?

Yeah man, whats up with that? How about.. I'll buy it myself?

It's cool that your mom and dad will buy you one. At least you have parents that would.
Keep that in mind. No matter how stuck up it sounds that your parents are doing that.. at least you have some.

[TheCovenant]

im buying my own. Ive already saved up a lil under 400, and still got several weeks to spare. Im getting the premium package, 399, and 4 games.

I wanted games that have been in development for awhile, to avoid getting any rushed games:

Call of Duty 2
Quake 4
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

and for the heck of it,

Perfect dark 0.

See you on xbox live gold, as ill have no money to go out and be social :/

[J3bus WTF]

Yes, it is true.

[ShadedNine]

It's true and you have no idea how much easier it is to pull the right bill from your wallet without flipping through them.

As for the xbox360, unless I can find a *really* clever excuse for why it needs to go on the expense account, I'll be counting on a card made of plastic to buy it for me.

...Hey, *pokes up*...where in Alberta?

Color coding your money is a pretty swift idea.
I just sort my bills from smallest to largest, right to left in my wallet.

See ya on Gold then :) *I CANT FRIGGIN WAIT!*


Oh and Rec, It's actually pretty fair that they are. I've bought al my consoles myself. Right down to N64. They figured this time around that since I'm going crazy about, and since my marks are up (wayyy batter than last year) They'd buy me this. :confused:

As for the poll, i had to go to school, and I forgot. If a Mod could add it in though, that'd be great :) Thanks

[laughs]

Ummmmmmm, I was kidding guys

[Goku_69]

i am going halfs with my parents on it cause my b-day is in november, but i am going to keep tring to win one with my mountain dew points then i will just get 4 or 5 games and extra controllers

[J4320]

I put that someone was buying it for me on the poll because I guess that's basically what's happening for me.

I get the premium(if that's the better one, yeah I know, I'm a n00b about this) one from www.free360xbox.com shipped to me when it comes out.

And just out of curiosity.... How old are you xboxfreakkid? 12?

[Nameless]

Did you say money from grad AND confirmation? Does confirmation happen in what grade 6? So you're "graduating" from elementary school this year? Haha, congrats I guess? Anyway if I want the 360 I'll have to buy it, and since I think paying $500 for a gaming system is a bit much, I'll wait a few months. Though it'll kill me to have to wait longer to play Oblivion.

I just turned 13 a couple of weaks go :P

In our schools, Confirmation happenes in Grade 8. And yuppers, Grade 9 next yeat! w00t... :yikes: Your right about paying too much, but if you could make it into a computer with those specs, Jeese, TRIPLE CORE 3.2 GHz Processor! With al the technology in the 360, it really could sell for way more! Because If you wanted to build a PC with those specs, how much would you be spending? 1K +? (Correct me if I'm wrong :) )

[Nameless]

I'm not really electronically inclined, so specs don't tell me anything. Besdies that, the only game I'm hyped for is Oblivion. So I can't exactly justify spending $560 for one game.

[MixMasta]

See ya on Gold then :) *I CANT FRIGGIN WAIT!*

If you are 13, and N64 came out in like 1996, that would make you like 4 years old when it came out. What kind of jobs are out there for 4 year olds? You've bought all your consoles yourself with the money your parents gave you. That's not purchasing them on your own dude.

[m4oH]

after reading this thread, im going to now go outside and go on a maniac killing spree.

I never said anything about mw being 4 when I bough it..... :confused:

And, my parents didn't give me the money to but me consoles. I was in grade 3 when I got n64. The money with which I bought it with was for First Comunion. Do I also have to tell tou my whole life story? o.0

And m4oH, you go ahead and do that. I'll catch up on you later. :moody:

[Ford Mustang]

I'll end up buying it myself, but I think I might end up asking my parents not to get me anything for my birthday and just get that for me when it comes out, and pay half of it. If not, I'll just buy it myself.

What exactly is first communion? Isn't that a catholic thing? And why do you get paid for it?

[ll Mista GT ll]

Yes, It's a "Catholic thing" . You don't get paid, silly. It's just for gifts. You get lots of gold jewlery too... It's kind of weird :moody: (I dont even wear half the stuff - They all still fit me though :p)

[LeoBreaker]

i could probably get away with getting some money put toward it for a christmas present but more than likely i will be paying for most of it

i think what everyone is getting at is that you never "workd" for your consoles. Getting money for your brithday, or communion, or confirmation, or graduation, or even christmas doesnt count. You have to go out there and have your own income to say you bought the consoles, otherwise, you were, and currently are, pampered.
