Okay, well I desperately wanna get a PS3, and I have the money. Atm I have over £1200 in my student account, with no large payments on the horizon. So I'm thinking about buying a PS3. The one problem is, I'm pretty sure my rents would screw if they knew I spent 300 quid on it. So I was considering buying it and telling them I won it in a competition. Which they'd probs believe.

Plus I'm gonna have about 3 months over summer to earn some money. So do you guys think I should do it?

Also How many controllers come with the 40gb PS3?

Do it, uni is all about wasting money on shit that your parents would flip out over if they knew. I'm just going to have a hard time this summer explaining where all this stuff came from...

Sure, why not. I just went and bought one without even telling my parents. My dad comes in my room see's it and is like "so...you just went and bought it, with your own money i'm guessing?"

and I was like "yeaah........"

*silence*

"all right"

me: "what the fuck"

It should work, as long as you don't get statements coming in through to your house back in London otherwise they'll no doubt open it and find out you actually went and bought it

You can say you won it on a BF2S Raffle. Someone can mail a bogus congrats card.

Bit too late now, but do what I did when I still lived at home

"that *insert desciption* look new"
"it is"
"went to the store to buy it?"

Variant 1
"yeah"
"how much?"
"50 CHF"
"mkay"

Variant 2
"no, friend gave it to me, gave him *insert something* in return. Pretty good deal for me"
"mkay"

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}
