Get it for him so you can ground him from it when he's bad.

I got this…I’m a child psychologist. First thing is give him a hug. Then beat the frick out of him…don’t hold back…bring the pain. This is called “tough love”. Once he’s unconscious take a break and have a few beers.
When he regains consciousness beat the frick out of him again…all the while saying “this is hurting me more than you”.
Once he’s unconscious again use a Sharpie to draw a dick on his face. This is exerting your dominance and and actually is a first step in bonding with him.
Once he regains consciousness beat him with a bar of soap wrapped in a towel. This represents cleanliness. All the while screaming “here’s your GD PlayStation 5 you ungrateful frick”.
Punch him in his nuts and you’re done. He won’t be asking for a PS5 and you’ll be much closer.
You’re lucky…I charge big money for this advice. You’re welcome.

My son is almost 5, so doesn't really have the concept of money down. He's perfectly happy if someone gives him a $1 HotWheel, but also wants us to buy a new house because he's bored of playing at ours. Yea, no buddy.

I bought my kids a PS5 & we’ve had a blast with it. If you’ve got the money, buy it.

Asking for a Nintendo was basically the same thing. Items are just more expensive now.
I wanted a Sega Master System the same Christmas other kids were getting Nintendos in 1986.
Not only did I get that Sega Master System but we got a color TV for our room(shared with brother).
I thought we were getting a Black and White TV since the Sega was so expensive at $129. Best Christmas Ever.
This was from the Advocate in December 1986.

My parents would get me the previous generation game system when a new one came out
They were pretty slick

That's smart as hell.
I did that for my Son(17 now) when he was younger. Saved a lot of money and the same games were available for the older systems.
It didn't become an issue until he was about 15 and trying to play online with friends. His old shite couldn't connect.

That makes sense.
That didn’t really matter until Xbox 360/PS3 came out
My parents would say I could have an SNES and two games or an NES and six games.
They played me like a fiddle

At its launch in the late 80s the NES cost in $100 range. that's right about $500 on todays dollars.
If we put a specific date on it.. Let's say 1988. $100 in 1988 would be worth the equivalent of about $250 today. So it would be half of $500.

Only if he/she has a good report card
Never as a Christmas gift

My first TV was a black & white. It was made by Ford.

You made the right choice.
Even when I got my Sega, When friends would spend the night, we'd plug up the Atari 2600 to the TV in the living room with dozens of games.
We'd challenge each other in everything from Combat to Missile Command and Basketball.
This one game could keep 12 yr old boys entertained ALL damned night even in 1987.

If you think 500 for a PlayStation is expensive, wait until he wants to take a prom date to dinner.
My son is a senior and has a job and paid for everything for Homecoming except his clothing. His junior prom wasn't very expensive.
What the hell are you doing for your kids? Renting a Limo and buying them an 8 ball?

We didn't do Christmas but if I wanted it, I mowed yards to get it. We were free range in many ways.
That explains everything, you ornery ole bastard.
A Lite Brite would have changed everything.
