An outline of the argument presented to my parents about why I believed I should be allowed to get an Xbox.
read more- Not as big a hassle as rock band, not large at all. No games I would buy for it would include extra hardware.
- Not a long term commitment like the iPhone don’t have to pay monthly for anything.
- Cheaper than the Wii
- Virtually wireless
- I pay for it myself
- Volume shouldn’t have anything to do with the equation
- Not always shoot em ups
- I’ve gotten a lot of stuff and I’m in a very happy mood because of it
- I’m responsible with the stuff I have, I naturally keep my room spotless
- I’m listening to orders more now, remembering to do more things.
- Even though I’ve gotten all these games I haven’t been completely consumed by them
- Trash, lights and other little annoying things I leave behind are improving.
- The Wii just doesn’t meet some of my gaming necessities.
- If you want something that we rushed into buying you can use our Wii as an example.
- I’ve played the Xbox many many times over the course of 8 months. It’s something I want, and was not rushed into the first time I saw it. So I know I want it.
- I’m a mature individual and I know the difference between reality and fantasy.
Note Extra: Admit some of the cons of getting the Xbox and promote solutions, state that “I believe my argument is so strong that I can admit the downfalls of getting what I want.”
Note: Show a lot of effort in the write up.
