I found out today that my ex-girlfriend's 13 year old nephew is getting a PS4 AND Xbox One for Christmas. He's also getting "some $300 headphones".


I love him and we play games together all of the time but goddam. That's insane to me!

What games is he playing on them? oh snap :P

My thoughts exactly.  It is INSANE.  I don't even think he wanted those systems. He got a PS3, Wii, and 360 too. He comes over and we play WWE or Call of Duty and that's about it.  He's even told me he doesn't even care about games as much anymore. Last year, he got an iPad, a cell phone, and a bunch of games and he didn't bother playing with anything except the cell phone.  I honestly don't think he'll play with either of them for more than a week.  At least until the games come along.  He also doesn't do very well in school.  I believe they do it more for them than they do for him.  They just like bragging about how awesome their kid's Christmas is.

My kid has a great Christmas every year but she's an honor student and she doesn't ask for much.  She wants Mario and Luigi Dream Team and Mario Party for the 3DS.  That's it.  I got her like $800 worth of clothes and her grandparents got her a new laptop.  That's it.  Practical.  And I won't be begging people for money in January nor will I have a huge credit card bill (or any credit card bill.  I don't go into debt.).

Madness.
