It was my b-day yesterday, and now I'm 14!
I asked for money for my birthday and the final(ish) total comes to... £300!

you should get a certificate of deposit (or the equivalent by you) and have more money to spend later.
AT&T iPhone 5S and 6; 13" MBP; MDD G4.

Rather Brazen asking for money, no?

I guess when your a kid. Easier on the folks, anyway.

I can't remember what I got when I was 14. It might have been a modem for my Powermac G3.

Get a savings account or a certificate of deposit. Don't spend the money on useless tripe.

Xbox 360 or Wii. They are fun. I don't think the PSP is worth it's price new (that's why I bouht mine used).

I say go for the Wii. I'm waiting for the price to drop to closer to $100 (or me to start making a lot more money) and then I'll be getting one.

Any day now...

XBox 360 if you like online play (especially shooters). I fell into one and I've had nothing but fun with it - especially Gears of War.

Wii if you want to play solo and/or with other people at your location. Zelda is pretty awesome.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

I voted for the 360 and/or the Wii. . . . However, spring is right around the corner. . . Why not take up a hobby like golf or mountain biking?
