<START OF RANT>So recently I have been wanting to get an Xbox One but I can't figure out a way to ask if they'd allow me to purchase it. This isn't a matter of financial situation because I have the money necessary to purchase one. All the money I got was from my birthday and would like to choose myself how I go about spending that money. Now the reason I want to get an Xbox One is because all the people I play with right now are going to switch over to the One and I do not want to lose communication with them as I have been playing games with them for a considerable amount of time. I think one thing I have to tell you all is that my family all, with the exception of my sister who was born in California, come from South Korea. They were all born and raised there but much more importantly they were raised by people who lived there. They have different values and beliefs and I am fairly certain they wouldn't want me spending more time on the games. I don't think what they understand however is if I do get the console I won't be spending more time on it than I already do.
I also firmly believe that no one but my sister will be willing to listen to me and my arguments as my sister understands with the frustrations I go through in everyday life that most(NTs) don't go through. I'd like to have a discussion with my sister but don't want my aunt to change her opinion on my sister because of my own agenda. Also, when I asked my aunt if I could buy it she asked what I wanted to buy as she doesn't allow the purchase of knives(which she ignorantly views solely as a weapon but commits such hypocrisy everyday as she used a kitchen knife) and I just said "a thing" as I was fairly certain she would condone such a purchase with knowledge of what I intended of purchasing. After the conversation she came into my room and told me to give her back the money that she had given to me so she could put it in my savings account. I mean honestly, if you're going to give someone something they can't freely choose to use it as they like why give it to them in the first place?<END OF RANT>
Besides that, how do you recommend I go about asking to be able to purchase a new console? Keep in mind that I strongly believe this won't impact how much time I spend on games; I want the new console to be able to keep speaking with the friends I have made on the 360.
