I cant understand these parents who want a wii/xbox/ps3
 

They wait until 2 weeks before christmas to get a wii/xbox/ps3 and wait in line 24 hours before, then complain they can't get one for their son/daughter, when they are available all year around.

plan ahead.

I thought you wanted to say why they buy this to refrain their kids from learning in the years to come ... :)

Or to refrain them from getting exercise and turn into big fat lumps of shit.

Or maybe they are like many families and living paycheck to paycheck and wanted to wait as long as possible before adding even more debt to that bloated credit card?

sadly that is probably the case.

i know many people in that position.

very odd to go from hanging with one group of friends who cant afford to do anything, or spend any money on any form of entertainment

and then the next day to my other friends who are all well off

its making me realise you need to hang onto every cent and make it work for you

Hell most all of my friends fall into the category of cant afford to do much or anything. Ok rare instances they can but typically nope. Then sometimes it just kind of gets at ya that you make sure you never come off as having money, at times you just want to well do shit with your cash that you should not do.

It happens every year.

Over here the Wii and DS have been out of stock for months it seems. Seems they underestimated the demand or something...

This is very true as well :thumbsup

that's just how it is. People wait till the last minute to do things.

perhaps they are paycheck to paycheck parents ...
