Don’t get him anything. He will survive. My sons are now 19 and 23. When they were growing up, all their friends had Nintendo’s. They wanted one. We said no. I had rented one a few times from the video store and didn’t like the way they acted when one was in the house. They both have come to me seperatly and told me that i did the right thing for them at the time. Sure they were pissed, but they got over it. Now they know that they were better off. Your son does not need this, he wants this. If you really want to get him one, make him earn it. Grades are always a good incentive.
