For married/living with GF gamers: I broke the news today..

[budsticky]

I'm sure some of you have had to do this last year. I'm sure I won't be the only one who is doing it this year.

I let the little lady know that our bank account will be about $400 lighter in a month. When I told her it was because I was buying a PS3 for one baseball game I got the expected remarks about a "colossal waste of money." I tried to spin the Blu-Ray angle, but she really doesn't care about that stuff. She still watches VCR tapes on a small TV in our bedroom when she is lying in bed some time.

Oh well. It's out of the way now. It won't be a surprise. Really, she didn't give me too much grief. I was glad I didn't have to start bringing up $100 pairs of shoes that only get worn once or twice a year, of which there are at least $400 worth of in the closet.

I had to ask the wife the other day if I could get the game. I feel your pain

Now this is a great thread!!!

Congrats buddy! Fortunately my brothers took care of me for x-mas and bought me a PS3. I have been dealing with my wife about the same thing for the past year and a half!! Now you just have to find time to play the thing! That is pulling more teeth than actually trying to get one!

You should tell your wife that the PS3 Slim is only $299.99! If that helps.

My wife has no clue what I have in my man cave. I bought a ps3 several years ago and she never noticed. Ill do the same when MLB 10 arrives. As far as i know she still thinks I have a PS2
