Haha my brother and I are the same way. I wanted to just swap $25 cash with him but we ended up just buying each other a DS game. lol

Tell him to get you a used one. Then you can get almost whatever you want. New games are for suckers.

Used FTW!

If I were you have him go to gamespot, also what kinds of games do you like?

How old are you?

well, 15 but i 19 year old brother says you should let me get it for you its on sale

I think he is just trying to cheap out on you. I don't think Pokemon is something most teenagers like to play.


How about an Xbox Live card?

You could ask him for a $25 gift card to Gamestop. shrug

i'm iffy about games and dvds from ebay. i have gotten bad ones that malfunctioned, didnt play right, etc.

At least with a gameshop i think they would refund you if it was faulty.


In regards to the money issue, ugh. i wont even go there. it's nice that people spend a lot on their families, but that does not mean anything. This one kid in the dorms freshman year was bragging how me bought his mom this $3,000 purse for xmas. I remember overhearing him on the phone with his mom about 2 weeks later just being an overall ass to her.

I think family and friends prefer people that treat them kindly all year over an expensive gift once per year.

Chronicles of Riddick for XBOX

Great game and can be found for like $10.

Have him use the other 15 on xbox live points

At this point, getting something on ebay in time for christmas is 50/50.

Even if you (or your brother) wins an auction today or tomorrow, it may not ship until Monday or Tuesday (or later). There are 6 mailing days left until Christmas and although that seems like a lot, that might not be enough time depending on where the game is being shipped from.

If you are doing the looking around and will tell your brother where you want the game and from where, i'd suggest trying to find a used bookstore that also has music and games. You might have better luck there compared to a gamestop-type of store (where it's 99% games).
