I really need a PS3 this Christmas because I got the Wii and Xbox 360 and my Christmas won't be complete without the PS3. Have pity on a fellow gamer geek!

I need a PS3 because my PS2 has become obsolete.

Save me from obsolescence, Oh ye Kevin Aylward.

It would be disengenious to say that I need a gaming machine, so here is why I want one.

Since the Atari first came out and my parents bought one for my brother and me, I havn't had a gaming console. Any games I play I play through a PC.

Now, I have four children and we are moving (Due to my job) from California to Washington and we will be living in a motorhome for an indefinite amount of time. That means 6 of us, me, my wife and my four kids will all be cooped up together in the motorhome living at a KOA in Kent Washington. There won't be any escape for my poor wife.

With a PS3, it might be enough to distract the kids and keep them busy for an hour or two everyday to give the little lady a break. A PC isn't really practical in a motorhome, nor is it very useable by small children. But when I was 19 me and some friends took a trip to Lake Tahoe and one of my friends brought his gaming machine and a television with us. I remember taking my parents motorhome and all the way there someone was playing a Michael Jackson Thriller game, killing zombies.

It seemed pretty easy and to work well. You just need a tv and the machine with some controllers and youve got hours of fun.

So that's why i'd really, really like to have a PS3 but I certainly do not need one.

I need a PS3 because it's becoming difficult to find Sega Saturn games these days, particularly if you want documentation with them.

Also, my daughter lusts after and wants to abscond with various and sundry belongings of mine, and, as you can tell, I don't have a state-of-the-art console gaming system with which to torment her.

Not having a gaming console since the first Playstation, I have been robbed of pop culture relevance. When cruising the net, I feel so out of place. References that should mean something just hit me like a brick. I still laugh at "All you bases ..." I couldn't join the Snakes on Plane revolution. You Tube is freaky magic to me.

A PS3 could cure me. Help me, Kevin; you're my only hope.

I'm still using 'Pong'...

I need a PS3 because if I actually have to purchase a gaming console this year, then my wife will ensure that I purchase a Wii. While she claims that this is because the Wii games are more kid friendly, I know that it is because it is $350 cheaper. Regardless of my illustrating the PS3's technical superiority (not to mention the Blu-Ray DVD) my wife is standing firm.

As a result, I need a PS3 because my wife won't let me have one.

I need a PS3 to ensure that our enemies do not use them in a bid for "world conquest." Heaven knows what the terrorist networks could do with PS3-cum-supercomputer clusters. You think this is ridiculous? Think again. PS2s were used in this fashion by friends and foes alike. I am not a terrorist, far from it, I am a patriot, so rest assured I will limit my PS3 usage to mere entertainment! In short, a PS3 in my hands is a PS3 not being used by a terrorist. Please consider your own safety, as well as the safety of others, when thinking about giving away your PS3. I am a great candidate. :-)

Oh, and remember how much more powerful the PS3 is when compared to the PS2. Can you handle the guilt if you arm our enemies with this power, instead of allowing me to kill free time with it? I don't think so. Ha ha.

My husband and I have 10 kids. Last year my husband lost his job and had to take a job that pays much less than the old job. So we can't really afford to do much for Christmas this year. My older boys (ages 18, 15, 13, and 11) would be so excited to get a PS3 for Christmas. We used to have a PS2, but it died. So, the reason I "really need a PS3 for Christmas" is to make Christmas special for my kids this year.

I need the PS3 so I can be the cool kid on the block for the first time in my pathetic 42-year life.

There, that should get me the magic box.

I do not need a PS3. I certainly don't need one for Christmas. That's probably because I don't celebrate it. On the other hand, I do celebrate Hanukah. So I wouldn't mind getting a PS3 for Hanukah. Then I could use it for Medical research. And then we could find a cure for Christopher Reeves. And you want to save Superman don't you. Or are you a heartless Rethuglican?

Merry Kwanza!

I thought it would be great gift to send to my neighbor who is currently serving in Iraq. Like so many of our fine men and women over there, he's missing his young family during this holiday season. It would be a fun diversion for him and his buddies.

I want to take it and put on Ebay for $1500 and use it buy other Christmas presents and pay some bills. At least I'm honest.

I want the PS3 for no reason other than the fact that I live in an area that offers nothing for people who are older than 21 and don't have families. I need something to occupy my time other than Netflix and blogs. :-)

I want it because I was thinking of sending it to a veteran's hospital for patients or family members to play on.

I hope I'm not too late to make my case. I want a PS3 because I really really want it. After all those yrs of hard work and keeping up with school I think it would make a great gift for going away to college. My mom said we're not receiving X-mas presents because she doesn't have any money to buy us something. I told her thats ok, I didn't want any brand named clothing just a PS3 will do. I really never ask anything for christmas haha but I asked for a PS3 and can't get it.

It's bringing down my mood not having one.

The last video system I bought, and LOVED, was the Atari 2600 for Christmas, 1977. Really! It might be time to step up; don't you agree?

Id love to win a PS3, so I could donate it to the children of Kim's cousin, who recently lost his life in the service of his country.

I would love to have the PS3. My employment contract ends this Friday, December 1st, and I am not optimistic about getting any work until after the New Year.

Please help me have something fun to play with while I am unemployed!

I want one because it would be great to get a free Blue-Ray player.

I don't have a sob story. I just want one. Does that make me a bad person?

I want (nobody needs a PS3) a PS3 because I feel bad for my sister who finally saved up the money for a new game system only to find that they were sold out. I want to flaunt it before her and laugh before smuggling it under the Christmas tree while she's busy being jealous.

I want a PS3 for several reasons.

First, I have never had a game console before (I am 41) No Nintendo, Sony, or Xbox.
Second, All my friends at work have a game console and every time
we go to lunch all I hear about is how much fun they have playing game (fill in the blank).
I never get to participate in the conversations.
Third, my wife watches a LOT of TV so I rarely get a chance at the TV. If I had a game console, she would have to let me use the TV.

I want a PS3 so I can replace my porn addiction to a video game addiction. That'll make my wife much happier.

I want to win a PS3 for my 10-year old son who really wants one for Christmas. I'm a single mother of three boys and this year is kind of tight because I'm just getting back on track after the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Please grant me this Christmas wish so I can make my son very happy.

I want a PS3 so I can be cool, like the big kids ;-)

I have never really had a game console before unless you want to call the 70's RCA Studio II a game console. I think that is why I deserve the PS3, because good things come to those that wait.

If I do not receive a Playstation 3, then the terrorists ... and the conservatives ... have already won.

I want one for my 20 year old son. He's working full-time and going to college full-time. I just something to surprise him. He's been working and studying very hard. I can't afford one because of Hurricane Katrina. Next year will be a lot better. The place I work at is set to re-open in January and will be able to get more hours.

PS: This will be for Hanukkah.

I got shot at while standing in line for a PS3 and all I got was this lousy bullet wound.

Because I would love him and pet him and hold him and squeeze him...and I would name him George.

I would like to give my 15 year old son a PS3 so he can continue to bolster his self-esteem by anihilating his father at every game we put into it. It is also the only console we can play the soon-to-be-released new Jack & Daxter on, and that game is the balls.

Because I have student loans to pay off and hocking this sucker on eBay would put me a lot closer to my goal.

I would like to hone my PS3 gaming skills at home so that when we go to Best Buy, I can kick all the kid's butts who are testing out the machine. Plus, I have a 9 year old daughter who needs to be able to torment her classmates with the fact that she owns one.

I'd like a PS3 so I can sell it and get out of debt. I'm only about $1300 away from that goal and it'd be great to achieve it a few months early!

I'm a church youth pastor here in New Orleans, well Kenner actually. I deal primarily with High School students who, of course, love video games. Most of the kids I deal with have been through all the Katrina hell this year and I would love to get a ps3 for our youth room, but obviously can't/won't buy one.

My youth group is amazing. They've spent the last six months working to help a neighborhood recover from the storm. They've given away hundreds of meals, plus other items people here need like toothpaste, toilet paper, light bulbs, wal-mart gift cards, dish-washing detergent and Christmas lights. They've cleaned storm drains, picked up trash and limbs, and mowed hundreds of lawns - all for free. The city of Kenner has asked to honor all of them with individual certificates of appreciation.

I'm proud of them and all that they've done. And, I would love to be able to reward them for being so generous and selfless.

Well of course it would be for my 4 kids. ;-)

Their Super Nintendo (yes Super) is almost dying at the moment and many of the cartriges just don't work any more (even with cleaning).

A Playstation3 would of course be the cornerstone gift to make them all happy that their is a true Santa, even if he lives in Vermont instead of the North Pole.

But from Southern California, Vermont is closer to the North Pole than here, so they'll think of it as the same thing. :D

I want one so that I can video tape myself smashing it to pieces and then upload the video on youtube for all the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii fans to enjoy
