Hello,guys.I know that you're the best out here in India.So,I'll get straight to the point.
I just bought a ps3 12 GB model for almost rs. 16,000.When i reached home and told very proudly to my mom. and sis. about thisb'day gift of mine , my mum became very very very and, very angry with me as she wanted me to buy something portable but the, how could I play gta V ,right? My sister asked me just a simple ques. which was
"How is ps3 without the move pack better than pc ?.What was the need of buying this?"
Then , i did answer her by saying that it does not require any upgrade worth lots of money , it has a blu-ray player and many others but still she thinks that I made a bad investmen.How do I convince my mum and sis. about the ps3?
PLEASE HELP! :pullhair: :confused:

It is your birthday and a gift. Convince them that you will consult with them next time you make a purchase.

you could have told them it was one of the best bluray player out there...also tell them you will be doing workouts etc on move, so that you can be fit etc..also tell them about the exclusives...at the end of the day if you are happy with the purchase dont worry and enjoy your new p3 :) its not like they are asking you to return it..are they?

"'Tis a gaming console and I'm a gamer and I paid for it. Deal with it." in a not-rude way.

+1 for this. It's impossible (and a waste of time) to justify the purchase of something expensive to someone who doesn't know much about technology.

Your sister asked you this !? so she knows stuff about ps3 and move and PC and GAMES?!!?!

Where do you live? Is she married?

well, lets just say, according to commonplace Indian family scenario, i've very very very rarely seen that sisters bothering about a comparative analysis of some stuff related to games with their brothers rather than trying to getting rid of the consoles coz it occupies one TV ditching the sas-bahu serials. Marriage just adds more spice to it.

i can even give contacts of some of my friends who suffered broken PS1/PS2, CD-DVD fighting over TV reality shows :(
