Need help with my money and what to get..

Ok, here's the deal. I have £320, £100 of that is in real money, £220 is credit notes for gamestation (Credit notes would be worth £220 so I can get what I want from Gamestation to a budget of £220).

So I'm wondering what to do.

Possibility 1
I could buy the PSP this friday, deducting £180 from my £320, leaving me with £140. For Christmas, I get £100 of my parents. £100+£140=£240. £40 christmas money of relatives and friends, means I have enough to get the Xbox 360 for christmas. Leaving me with around £60-80. Then I can get a game for PSP and game for Xbox 360. And have no money left until my Birthday in February. £100 for my bday aswell to spend on games, DVD's or other stuff.

Possibility 2
I could not buy the PSP on Friday. I would put £220 towards the 360 for a Christmas present, then £40 from my parents (We put £20 deposit for preorder) and then they buy me a 360 game aswell. This would leave me with £100 from my £320. Then I get an estimated £100 money from friends and family, inwhich I have £200. £80 goes towards the PSP to get for my bday in Feb, and then £120 to spend on random stuff, games, DVD's etc. Then in february I get a PSP and games.

What should I do?

1 or 2?

I like possibility 2, the PSP is "wait-able" enough to get later. Get the Xbox first, then a PSP next year. I wouldnt want two consoles in the space of 6 months: I'd have no time to play them both, and one would get neglected.

I hate to admit it, but most people on this Earth will get some form of electrical console, whether it be Xbox, PSP, DS, Or DVd player, this Christmas. You're absolutely right, that there are better things to get for Christmas.

I would say order it online, but the postage and packaging would probably be loads.

I can't, as I've said I have £230 worth of credit notes, you can't use them online.

Option one is good, I'd wait for the Xbox 360 to be released for a while, think, there arn't going to be a wide range of games for it at first, it'll be cheaper (deals and bundles for sure) and you'll have time to play all the new to come games for the PSP :)

Sony are launching most of there games next year, although there isn't a massive seletion of games for it at the monet, GTA Liberty City Stories will keep you occupied until then ;)

I am getting the 360 and Kameo whatever happens. But I can still do it with the PSP on Friday. I'll speak with my parents tomorrow.

I would also like to get that game with the Xbox 360, but at the moment, PSP owns.
