Ok, I want xbox live gold membership, but I just can't break my parents on their decision of not getting me it. I know, I know, I already have the sims 3 waiting for me in June. What I'm asking is what can I do, so that the next time I ask my parents for Xbox Live they say yes? (things I can do before and after June). And how much will eveything cost for Xbox Live? (If I get Xbox Live I'm doing the whole 1 year card plus I'll use a wired adapter).
