I have a preteen step-son and his mother buys him anything and everything under the sun. We cut back last year to $300 for him. That didn't buy much at his age. He did get a PS2 though. Although he wanted a Wii and of course he received that at his mother's house. He has a DS from a few years ago. He rarely plays either and now he says this year all he wants for Christmas is a PS3! He has no idea how much money that is or that it comes with 1 game or any of that. I think he might just be dissappointed this year but I don't know what else to do. If he didn't still believe I would be tempted to get him gift cards and do his own shopping to SEE how fast the money goes. $200-300 is a ton of money to a kid but it really doesn't buy much anymore. Besides, for that kind of money, I'd like to get some useful things that will last and not be yet another toy tossed in the basement waiting to go to charity after 3 months of use.
