How to Convince Your Parents to Get You an Xbox One

So you’re mad keen to get an Xbox One and partake in the action of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds this holiday season, or perhaps you’re intrigued by the notion of driving yourself insane with Cuphead. Whatever floats your boat, but can you really prove what it means to you to the people that matter and get away without doing chores for another week? Let’s be fair, not every parent out there is clued up on the latest console tech or what’s best, so here’s a few pointers you can pass on to make the shopping experience a little easier.

Article makes no sense. Your parents don't need any convincing.

Last console my parents bought was a Dreamcast.

Master System for me - bought all my own since SNES.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

You’re likely older than me but that’s really cool. First console my parents bought was an NES

My dad got me a colecovision new in box a few years ago.

I didn't ask him for it though. I'm a collector, and he knows I collect stuff.

You convince them in the same way you would convince them when you want any other consumer goods.

I remember when my parents picked me up my Commodore Amiga, I couldnt believe my year long campaign of hint dropping had paid off! Incredible, still my favourite games machine to this day.

[tulholdren]

Wow cool man I still have my commodore 64, colt, and Amiga 500 they still working I still play bards tales on them. Some of my best memorys on those machines.

[LoveSpuds]

Yup, I upgraded from my beloved C64 to the Amiga. I wish to God I still had my Amiga and the hundreds of games I had with it. To this day I love a good side scrolling shooter or platformer, Amiga was great for that genre.

My 1st girlfriend bought me Cannon Fodder, Frontier: Elite and Premiere Manager for our 1st Christmas together.....I knew then she was a keeper! We have been together for 25 years now and celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary last month 😁

[rainslacker]

When i was younger, and hoped my parents would buy me something, I didn't really drop hints. I just made a christmas list every year.

Most expensive thing they ever brought me was a TG-CD attachment for the original TG-16. Think it was like $700 at the time. Ended up being my favorite system for that generation, and greatly increased my import play time.

Are you kidding me?
This sounds like a desperate article for clicks.

[SkippyPaccino]

Your parents might not want to but Roy Moore would... If only he could find a way to sneak back into a mall...

[ZehnDrachen]

Only if you want to play Halo.

[vikingland1]

But I'm 53 years old I would feel weird asking my parent. :-)

Plus, my wife already surprised me with one.

[GoGoGadge7]

This article is rich.

When I wanted a game console I got a part time job at the age of 15 bagging groceries. Bought me a PSX. That was a feel good moment.

Do the same. Go flip burgers.

[DragonDDark]

The heck is this article?

[alexh]

How about get a part time job kids then you dont have to try convince anyone haha i managed to buy my 360 with paperround money hahah

[Knightofelemia]

I only had two consoles bought for me as a kid a Master System and a SNES. When I wanted a Saturn and a Genesis I worked my ass off to buy those consoles now I just buy my own by working my ass off.

And yet again my comment "Wow how did my question "Is sarcasm flaged as inappropriate in this site?" got flaged as inappropriate? What's going on here?" got flaged as inappropriate... Since when censorship include non-inappropriate words and phrases?
