Need Help From Xbox 360/PS2 experienced people

[Yosei]

So since the kids broke their PS2, my parents came to me, asking if I'd give the kids my PS2 since I don't play it as much as they did theirs (all of the ps2s they had... were mine). I said no because this is an oh too familiar situation. They'd just break this one. The kids have broken a total of 7 consoles.

So then I got an idea...

I said if I give my PS2 to the kids... they get me an xbox 360.
(I know I know... price wise it isn't an even deal, but in the long run... I don't think they'd wanna buy another xbox 360)

Here's how the conversation with my mom went...

Mom: why are you grinning?
Me: You know how you wanted me to give the kids my playstation 2?
Mom: yeah
Me: How about, if I give them my playstation 2.. you get me an xbox 360.
Mom: But the kids wanted an xbox 360.
Me: Yeah... and they'd break it in a month.
Mom: Why do you want one?
Me: It has better games for me than my playstation 2..
Mom: The kids would be so jealous of you.
(awkward silence for a minute)
Me: So what do you think?
Mom: I'll think about it. It might not be right away, but before Christmas.

FYI.. I don't have a job, my "job" is babysitting the kids. They don't pay me. They owe me.

But I don't think she's convinced. I need help convincing her why I > kids when it comes to having an xbox 360. I don't know too much about the xbox 360, and I don't plan on pimping it out. So for a bit I'll be a bit of an xbox 360 nub.

I may email everyones reasons to her.
