Would I be wrong to get my girl something xbox for her b-day?

[crazyotto]

I know I shouldn't but it just makes me laugh to think about... her opening a gift and it be a game or the "S" controller. That would be funny. Her day is 5/4. That makes it hard in the $$ depatment with us, Morrowind and the "S" comin out the 30th. What would you do? HA!

If your girlfriend is an addict... go for it.

If you're only buying it so you'll be able to play with it... it probably won't go over too well. haha

[GokuX]

Are you gonna buy her a Black and Decker drill set while you're at it??

He's being nice... thats an honest question. hehe

if she plays xbox w/you, and digs it, go for it. i know my friend mantis got an xbox controller for her birthday last week and was digging it!

however, if she doesn't play, and you're just wanting a cheap excuse to get an S controller, don't be surprised if you get makeup and massengill for your birthday

Dude, honestly, get her flowers and tell her that she's "beautiful". One thing I have learned after being married for almost two years (in fact, my two-year anniversary is on the 30th of this month) is that girls don't like what the items are necessarily...they want to feel special. And, rightly so! Women are extremely special...I know my wife is

In a word, NO, don't do it. Go for flowers and a necklace/ring or something. Sorry dude.

Go with Max's advise. Being newly engaged and learning from experience, women like stuff that says you care for them. Now getting a game from her is a sign of her deepest affection for me. I would love to have a game! But she likes things such as flowers and cards! My girl plays games and honestly loves to play the xbox! If I did get her a game should would be cool but I know she much rather have something else and more meaningful. Don't buy a gift for the person you love, that will more so benefit you! Now if you get her a game or controller + flowers...you can't loose!

....good luck!

I would get her something like flowers and with the rest of the $$, i would buy an s controller and morrowind for yourself.hehehe. Also included with the flowers should be some good sex. Women like that.It makes them feel special. awwwahhh

[l Maximus l]

The reason why I said flowers and saying the words "you are beautiful" is because my wife actually had a long talk with me about this. I was going to purchase her a really nice (and expensive) digital camera...which she would undoubtably like, however, she told me that she wanted something "sentimental" (that was her word). The vast majority of women are this way...it's practically programmed in them or something...which, I believe, is a very good thing

Now, if you want to get ME a new XBox controller...SURE!

[Huckleberry]

i almost completely agree with maxy, but i do know that there is the rare woman for whom flowers/candy/lingerie, etc really doesn't mean too much. my friend, laura, would rather get tools for her birthday than have a nice dinner, or receive a feminine present. she's not of the alternate persuasion...just doesn't dig girly stuff.

you know your girlfriend. i think the key thing that we're all trying to say is that when it comes to love, you do what the other person would want rather than try to sneak something of your own in. think about who she is and what would help make the bond between you grow stronger...and do that. it may be a sacrifice on your part (i.e. you have to give up a game or controller for a while), but if she sees that you're willing to make sacrifices for her, and that you don't try to manipulate the situation so that you get what you want, it will definitely help your relationship grow, and that can only be a good thing!

[Mahlon]

I know what you AIN'T gettin' for awhile!

[DZNUTZ]

move over rookies.....dr love has entered the thread

dude first off...flowers are unoriginal...and inpractical. someone who spends like 75 bucks or whatever for some flowers that are gonna die....are just plain out stupid. i'm sho most women would rather have something practical that lasts.

as for your dilemia about being strapped for cash....unless your girl is a total golddigger....theres a way for you both to walk away happy.

go spend your money on your toyz you selffish baztard/JK

then do something setimental and romantic for her thats also CHEAP!!
something like a jar full of lil folded different pieces of paper the she can dig into on bad days and redeem to you.

maybe pieces of paper that state things like...30 min massage...cooking a meal, ya know things she likes... maybe a car wash....whateva is suitiable....i could crack some wise joke and say I know what your girl wants! , but i aint gonna....u know her best (or at least i hope so) ..so pick things that would fit. wrap a nice ribbon on it an viola!!!...some cheap , thoughtful and lasting.

Max pack that s4it up and put it in a fortune cookie.

Really guy the game stuff 4 the gal idea is out and out the worst thing to do. My gal would just get mad and I might not even see that troler again. And when it comes to cash 4 those flowers or what ever, Credit card or give plasma( something I would never do) Im a puss. Good luck

[JJaX]

But if you do by the controller for her. Be sure to throw in a frying pan and a vacume.

Definitely get her the S Controller. After she dumps you there will be even more time to play XBOX AND you'll have a new controller, too! It's a WIN-WIN situation.

[Afro Aura]

If she plays the XBOX as much as you, then I would take her for out for diner do what Max has told you and buy her the S-Controller as a "surprise present" to present it to her in the week I'm sure she'll be happy about that as it's random present as it also means that you're thinking about her, if she has trouble with those rather large controllers
