Actually for the PS3 I had to put half the money.
Long history made short, my gift was supposed to be a trip, however, my basketball team had a trip to Guatemala and the funds for my gift went there, so the B-day gift had to be smaller, therefore they gave me half the money for the PS3.
However, they are giving me the trip. If things go well, we are able to get tickets and a hotel to stay, I will be going to WM25 next year!
