Gizmo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I'm getting a 360. I decided. Definately. But. My exams start in 10days or so, and end two weeks after. I want to get the 360 now, but I fear it might distract me. I could get it afterwards and have it as a sort of "reward". On the other hand, I might get really frustrated, because I know I really want it, and get even more distracted from that. So N-E shall decide for me!

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 When you say you worry about being distracted. Does that not mean you know you will be distracted? You should not have a life when going to school you know. Else your grades will suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Wait man. 4 weeks isn't that long at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Wait man. 4 weeks isn't that long at all. It is. I don't get paid until 2 1/2 weeks time...Too far away!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 It is. I don't get paid until 2 1/2 weeks time...Too far away!!! Well i think the question you should ask yourself is how important are the exams? Would your grades suffer if you bought a 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Wait. 1) The prices will probaby drop. There'll be better deals/games that come out. f you get it now you might regret it. 2) (probably) If you wanna do good in the exams dont get it now. I was distracted by my games and I had fun while playing them. Did fine in my english exams because you had to write about crap. I think I could have done better in some subjects if I didnt play. But Im always like that, I just moan to myself I dont do it and I never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zell Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I second what Takeo said. GCSEs aren't that important at all. Once you get into 6th form you can forget GCSEs ever existed. So I'd get one now. Having said that, I'm waiting till after exams to get a 360, since A levels are a bit of a different prospect to GCSEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCSEs are important if you want to get into 6th form in the first place... they're also important if you leave straight after GCSEs to get a job. (I think? I went on to HE...)

MunKy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 After man, when I did mine it was hard not to be distracted by my 'Cube which I had for years. Imagine how hard it will be with a shiny new console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The gamer in me says GET IT NOW! But you shouldn't. It almost derailed my Uni course...well it wasn't that bad, but you should wait and get it as a reward for your hard work. Remember you only really have one shot with your exams...unless you resit, and no one wants to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think? I went on to HE...) Well it's not that important to do well in GCSEs, as in it doesn't really matter if you get an A* or a C, as long as you get the five Cs and anything else required. Of course if you're getting Cs and Ds then you might need to try hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hmm. All this talk about GCSE's being unimportant is shifting me...I mean, I'm only sitting one Standard Grade exam (SG = Scottish GCSE) which matters, the rest are just prelims for experience and to indicate what level of couse I should be studying. But then again, price drop? Maybe get the elite? Argh, now the question is totally different :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 It's worth waiting. I completely fucked up my GCSE's because I was too busy playing games. It's only a month, not a long time in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 after. seriously, you know what it's like with new machines. take it from a man of experience. If your exams dictate the kind of course you'll go on to, why risk being forced in to a set below your potential? is a 360- something you've managed fine without for a year- worth the bullshit distractions now?
