..got enough greens for a PS3. Trouble is the Mrs now wants a new Dyson

I'll just need to convince her of the benefits of PS3 ownership over a hoover, AND the current Dyson works perfectly well, AND the DVD player is on it's last legs so we'll have a Bluray player instead AND she could get Take That singstar for it

Anyone else convinced?

plus tell her about Little Big Planet!!!!

Yeah, I've seen that. But not really looked into it much TBH.

i had the same problem, i tried to convince my mrs you could only get gadgets, consoles, games and amazon vouchers from the networks. but the bloody woman looked into it and realized you could get custom orders, so now im going to have to make do with bedroom furniture grrrrrrrrrrr

true!

haha good logic

or u could buy my ps3 and get her the dyson :P

Also, if you get the PS3, all of the mess would be in the one spot since you wont have to move around. There's no need for a brand new dyson to hoover around 1 sofa.

Exactly. Although we did just move to a new house with new carpets that fill the hoover everytime we hoover.

I'm sure I'll talk her round.

Or just get an Xbox 360. With your eyes closed it sounds just like a hoover!

kevan321 · 17-03-10, 02:37 PM

Put some plastic on the floor around the sofa, sorted.

I must be a serious freak woman.

PS3 over anything "home" related every time especially something that expensive that I doubt would do any better a job than the 80 quid thing we got for my Gran (it has pet guard

).

I can't imagine putting hours and hours of work into SEO etc for the amazing reward of... a hoover.

messyhead · 18-03-10, 02:55 PM

I know, not much pay back. Although the Dyson Balls do look pretty cool, I'm sure a PS3 looks better.

kevan321 · 18-03-10, 03:55 PM

Buy i-Robot Roomba 520 Vacuum Cleaner online at JohnLewis.com

cheaper than the dyson

messyhead · 21-03-10, 06:53 PM

Woohoo! PS3 it is. Broached the subject tonight, and it's all sorted. Of course, it'll now take me months to get the last few greens I need.
