You can get it for yourself.

Then, if you still want him to chip in, he should be convinced.

This makes me wish the sign-in of the user had a password not just the psn.  So that way you could buy it and play it in front of him but he would need your password to play it. :P

That's what a lock on a chest is for... shove your PS3 in it and lock it. The controllers are wireless so it's not like you need ti have a wire for it... Or better yet. Lock the controllers in a box! Then no cords nee to come out, and he can't play (Unless he goes and buys a controller :P )

Unless there's a game that he can really get behind, you've got your work cut out for you.  I suggest you buy it yourself and then make him get his own controller if he wants to play.

Get him in a headlock and keep giving him noogies until he agrees to fork over the dough. (If you're bigger)

(If he's bigger) Punch him in a tender area everytime he plays your system without permission and then run to tell Mommy and Daddy before he can recover. Your parents will think he's a) selfish for always using your stuff and then b) a pervert for always grasping that region when they come running to intervene.

My brother did the same thing when I was buying both my PC's... Each time he wouldn't pitch in as he'd never use it... But I found myself constantly being told to get off as he wanted to use it for something. Brothers tend to say they don't want it until they're given it for free.

its not a good idea to split with your bro.Cause then when you move away from each other you'll fight over who gets the PS3.just buy it and it will be yours.Not just half yours.

tell him to lend you the money and you'll pay him back when you can.

If he likes the ps3 he'll agree to go halfsies on it. If not then don't let him play.

That's a great idea.

They can go half and half again in 3 weeks when it comes time for repairs.

And that's like a Playstation 3 and a half when it comes to cost.

So you're urging the TC to pay more for defective, inferior goods? Some friend you are.

I'm just a mean person.  Besides, there's a 40/60 chance that he could get a good one.

The PS3 actually handles heat much better when it's laying down, if heat is a problem then never prop it up on it's side.

I saw Gamestop extended their trade in a PS2 for $100 off a PS3 offer until 5/27. If you have a PS2 that might help make up the difference a bit if your brother doesn't want to do it.

Just buy it on your own. Then tell your bro to pick up a Wii or 360 and you'll be set.

What happened to the good'ol sharing between brothers?lol

If you want it that bad just buy it. After you get it let him play if he wants, just tell him if he wants to keep playing he should buy some games. It's a good way to split costs.

It's just as well. Your suggestions are useless anyway.

My most wanted game for PS3 has to be Mass Effectpaul265
