[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655251, member: 1550"] My son is a videogame junkie and he doesn't live with us. He makes his own buck so if he wants to buy a videogame, I usually let him (I am his payee). I don't think, like so many parents do, that videogames are the ruination of our next generation. I personally feel our grandparents probably felt the same way about television. It's new and unfamiliar to us...we didn't do it. However, I can't remember the last time I bought a videogame for Sonic. HE works and he can buy them, but he won't get money for a videogame from us. I personally think he has enough and, for their high price ($25 is NOT the normal price), I'm not kicking in for the deal. He gets tired of them fast too and ends up trading them in. Sonic usually gets necessities for his birthday and getting him a videogame shirt really gets him excited. I'd rather do that. It's cheaper :) If I get him three cool shirts, he's in heaven and he usually needs them (he is hard on clothes). He does not need our money for videogames...hmmmpth. [/QUOTE]
