The reasons for me to do this poll is to find out who use thier allowance to buy games because im thinking to ask my parents to give me an allowance

They'll probably ask me this 2
Reason?
How much?

I want you guys to tell me how did you get your parents to give you an allowance and how much did you get a month


Help is appreciated

Thank you

good poll dude, i m wandering how those ppl get so much money to buy original games

let the mystery reveals itself

wah..very useful thread....I'm curious to know also..some of PSP owner bought so many ori games..and yet they still want to buy somemore...1 game does cost about 180 buck to 250 buck depend on the stock availability......

Should be pretty obvious for some - working people like me have NO allowance, so I save up what I can every month for that ONE DS game. It's not easy, but it ensure s I appreciate it.

I work and save from my allowance

All of them are rich ppl arr..

I rather buy something else than buying original games using my hard earned cash from my part time job...I'll only buy it if it really worth it

Errr.. Work? Expect everything to be free is it?

work loh ofcoz..

look for part time job can go sell pet pet

Still studying, allowance is for me.

Work 3 months as sales assistant at Toys R Us for my GBA and games. Then half year as temp teacher for 250 hyper kids for my DS, DSL(comming soon) and games.
My parents oppose me from buying games. They're Jack Thompson NO.2 and 3

For those people who work how old are you guys?

Me is 23.. fresh grad from Uni.

Your forgot to add, "steal / rob" in the list of choices.

Id have to say that only since I started working was I able to buy original (GOOD QUALITY) games (and I come from a middle class family).

I would have to say that only people (and children of parents) in the upper middle class income could afford to buy original games on a regular basis. Unless if the children work part time and save up that is.

For others they would have to be VERY choosey in order to do so.
IMHO it is not something that we have to be ashamed of. It is a fact of our economy. Until the price of a game title is in proportion to 20%-30% of the minimum wage income/month of our country; then Id have to say that original games are the previlege of the wealthy.

For those who come from lower then middle class income parents, Id say we would like to hear YOUR story of obtaining an original title before you started working.

Work. what else. work work work..

then can buy original games.

Yup. Work, work and more work. There are months that I have to forget buying games since the bills and all else don't allow it (try living on your own, paying house loan, car loan, etc etc) and then there are months that I see MP:H and I HAD to have it. So this month kurang makan lah....

I'm 28, btw.

me 26...but still enjoys my console/handheld gaming...

Wow nice success stories there i wish i could have a job like you guys so i can buy games

hahaha...by the time u start work u would have wished u didnt have to work to get ur money.........

hahaha
im 22 ! part time work part time studying ~.~

besides work any other way to get money ?
rob ?

LOL, Jack Thompson.

These days anyone who's against videogames are labelled as Jack Thompson.

Yeah, we normally work for it, and I can say it's all the hardwork we been through to get it.
