To buy myself an Xbox?

I have this weird guilt thing about spending money on myself unless it's something I really need. I'd quite like an Xbox and the new Tomb Raider game, have seen a cracking deal and yet I just keep talking myself out of actually getting it! I don't know why, I got a small inheritance in the spring when an Uncle died so it's not like I'd be leaving myself short!

WIBU to treat myself to an Xbox?

I'm buying a Wii U for Christmas. I keep telling people it's for the boys, but it's completely all about me and my Mario addiction:o

So do it!

AIBU to want to buy another Xbox one as DH hogs the one we have?!

ValiantMouse · 24/11/2015 23:19

No! You should totally take advantage of the sales like I did!

I love our Xbox One. I got it for DP for his birthday in August - we sold the 360, PS3 and games and got it 2nd hand - we only paid £40 cash!

You'll love it and the new Tomb Raider is AWESOME.

An extra one would be brilliant! We could play multiplayer games Grin

I got a PS4 in anticipation of Final Fantasy whatever. I'm going to go and play Destiny now while my kids are at kindergarten and my DH is at work. I checked the Good Mum Rulebook and, surprisingly enough, there's actually no law against it Grin still slightly feel like I'm getting away with something...

Do it, the new Tomb Raider game is really really good. Definitely worth getting an Xbox for.

Enjoy your Xbox! I'd quite like one too, I've asked Santa for one Wink

I brought myself an used play station 3 a year ago, don't regret it at all. Go for it! proud be a female gamer Grin

Do it OP, me and DP have hours of fun on ours.. Total escapism! You deserve it. Try Red Dead Redemption if you haven't, it's amazing.

Do it!

I have a PS4 and I loves it. It was my christmas present from Santa last year.

My DH bought me an xbox one and Tomb Raider for my birthday yesterday. I am a big tombraider fan but also a playstation girl, so was loathe to buy a one. But now I don't have to and Tomb Raider is really good so far!

Glad to see this thread. I am thinking of getting an XBox one for a family christmas present. DD1 wants Fallout 4.
