you are wrong in your conclusion. It is obvious that the mom is a hardcore gamer and she knows that the Wii is the vastly superior console. The child is obviously way to casual and doesn't know what is good for him.

It makes perfect sense.

Are you saying all misinformed people are fat?

Because I'll go with that otherwise how do you explain how they don't know what a sensible portion is and keep falling for all those fad diets.

wii is more powerful than xbox 360 momies and sales ladies says that so it must be true.
last week i was in Saturn(big market with electronics) and 30+ guy was looking for a ds game for his nephew. he picked up Mario Kart and Cocoto Kart Racing(or whatever that shit is called) and asked girl working there which is better and she told him that Mario Kart is way better - i can't believe that kid will be so shafted when he will get Cocoto Kart Racing only because it was cheaper. he literally can't give it back or trade it in anywhere and i doubt anyone would buy it on our version of ebay - he's fucked big time.

By North American standards...no.

No, you got it wrong, I asked if she was fat because there's an even bigger chance she was buying it for wii fit.

lol...I agree. but you dont have to hook it up to the net...you can buy him only T rated games or below... If he plays COD4 he will do it at his freinds house anyways so there is nothing she can do about that.

The kid came out the wisest out of this situation. He learned that if you want something nice, you cant depend on people giving it to you but will have to work for it. The rest involved all lost brain cells for nothing.

What a spoiled little brat. I've had to pay for almost every single console I've owned (since NES) out of my own pocket, and this little twit is complaining about getting a free Wii? WTF is the world coming to.

^ I dont think its fair to call him a brat cause hes complaining.

He has the right to want the system he likes... Plus mom was trying to make it like it was a democracy. She wasn't saying "Im buying you a wii"...but instead "Wii is the best, lets get that one".

If mom took me shopping when I was a kid and she said "Lets get that Atari Jaguar"...I'd be screaming too. Not saying Wii = Jaguar...however kid ay have some insight on why he wants a 360.

Maybe Bobby accross the street got a 360 and he stole his gf with it. And now when she hears he got a Wii instead...wait, nevermind

*edit

I would argue that that is a slightly different scenario

I sorta agree the kid is a bratt, but I also sorta agree that the mom could have handled things better.

Classic story. :)
