Today, my husband called me from the store, trying to decide whether or not to buy the new games console he's been wanting. I'd already purchased one and hid it, ready for Christmas Day. I couldn't talk him into not buying himself one. There goes a $500 surprise. FML

I'd end up admitting it and ruining the surprise before he bought it.

Maybe this time you should have just told him?

Aw, maybe you could rerun it and use the money to buy him games & accessories for the new console, he'd probably appreciate that too.

Take it back, buy him a game and pocket the difference. If he's dumb enough to go shopping the week before Xmas, you need to profit from that:)

I trained my husband 30 years ago, NEVER buy anything after Thanksgiving. Or there will be a painful and lingering death, and it won't be mine.

I know, right 21? I can't even train my dog not to chew up socks, and here's 19 training her husband! You have my respect, 19, now please teach my husky to leave the socks alone!

Well considering there's two video game consoles: Xbox One and PlayStation 4, just return the console and get the other one. That we gets two consoles. Or just buy video games for it, or buy more controllers and a headset.

I am sure he doesn't want both if he wanted to buy the EXACT same console OP did

25 - I wouldn't mind both. There are cool game exclusives on both machines.

Please do not tell me you bought him a PS4. I love Sony to pieces, but they ****** up that one by SIMPLY not having complete PS3 support.

If you're referring to backwards compatible games, they're planning of adding digital.copies of ps3 games to play later. also since op said 500 I assume its xbox one.

A) I was guessing. B) They should've already done that when they were making it.

Not exactly like Microsoft has backwards compatibility either lol. Both companies failed pretty hard there

Now that you mention b/c, they should've had all games on both servers for download.

Just keep your old console. It's not that hard. Backwards comparability these days is too difficult. I'd rather they spend the resources on making the new systems better in other ways.

OP, I feel your frustration! My BF is an extreme spender. Always buying himself every and anything he wants and leaving me with no ideas left. What do you get someone that has everything already?

The Oculus Rift devkit? He probably hasn't thought of THAT, and it'd be the coolest surprise ever. It's only compatible with PC games though.

I have the same problem with my boyfriend. He's very impulsive when he wants things and makes far more money than I do, so there's no way I can keep up. I've learned to stick with making homemade gifts and cooking his favorite foods. I find that he appreciates thoughtful gifts more since those are things he can't just buy for himself. Stuff like custom sculpted miniatures of his D&D characters or handmade costumes go over really well. Be creative!

THat's why I tell people not to buy anything for themselves unless it's a personal necessity during the months of Christmas or birthdays. Otherwise the people in my family are fragging notorious for buying exactly what I was going to give them as gifts. Every single time.
