Do you really want a PS3 but your parents don't want to know? You can do many things that help you convince your parents. Here are some tips.
Steps
Step 1. Find out what your parents would like you to do
For example, if your dad wants you to play more sports, ask him if doing sports could have a PS3.
Step 2. Make sure your parents say they will buy the PS3, not that they will value the purchase, in which case it would not be certain
But don't press them too hard.
Step 3. Don't piss them off by reminding them often that you want the PS3
Passing by a game store, it's a good time to remind them. But if they seem bored with your request, you may want to take it easy for a while.
Step 4. Try offering him some money to pay for a part of the console, for example € 100
Step 5. Help with housework
Show him that you are a reliable person and that you deserve to have a PS3.
Step 6. Point out that all DVDs are about to become BlueRay, and that a blueray player costs € 700, while a PS3 that reads bluerays costs only € 299
Step 7. Give him a reason to buy it
Engage more in school and housework. Take the opportunity to ask for it during Christmas or on your birthday. Tell him that all your friends have it, and that you can also use it for homework by connecting it to the internet.
Step 8. Search for a local or online store that has the PS3 at a good price
