tilted behaviour

Early this year I asked for your help in deciding if I should keep a Nintendo Wii that my Dad had received for free or sell it and get some BVLGARI sunglasses or a new PlayStation 3.

Well two and a half months later I made my mind up.

While wondering round in town at Bay City Plaza (yes Geelong does have a shopping centre) I saw that EB Games had a promotion where you could trade in any Wii console and receive a new PlayStation 3 and FIFA 2010 for just $299. With no hits on EBAY for the Wii and the fact that you can pretty much get one for $300 I decided that it was worth it since a new PlayStation 3 was still around the $500 mark.

Then before I left I decided to buy some new sunglasses. I know we’re approaching winter, but there is a chance I could be heading to Thailand for a month or two and hopefully Las Vegas for my fourth WSOP, so they’ll definitely come in handy.

The funniest thing that related to theses purchases happened on Facebook after I updated my status.

Tim Duckworth after making a whopping $12.11 online this morning, I decided to splurge and bought new sunglasses and a PS3 . . . oh the life of a low-limit balla!!!

Comment from Kerry Stead: Definitely -EV purchases. Now you will be distracted by the PS3 & feel obligated to leave the house to wear the sunglasses. Crushing Thursday mornings now means only +$8!

I have a huge dilemma and need your help to sort it out.

My Dad’s computer broke down the other day and he decided to head to Harvey Norman to Flexirent one. For some reason they gave him a free Wii – and since he knew I wanted one – he also bought me FIFA 2010 so that I would have something to play on it.

Problem you may say with a definite undertone of sarcasm.

Well, yes, because recently I’ve decided that I’d rather get a PlayStation 3 instead of a Wii after spending many hours at my friends and cousins house playing it.

However, I’ve also been looking at some new sunglasses – something similar to the BVLGARI ones below – and therefore have the dilemma of either trading the Wii in at Myer and getting the sunglasses or going to an EB Games or JB HiFi and exchange the Wii for a PlayStation 3.

Tough decision.

Help needed . . . NOW!!!
