He suggested that we kick in what we normally would for a birthday present, and he would pay the rest. I looked at what he wanted, and I said - why don't you get the better console instead since NCAA is coming out soon. So, we reached a deal that he would kick in what he would have for the lower model, and I paid the rest for the better model.
Then, when the game was available for preorder, I asked if he wanted to preorder it - and he said he already had. Not only that, he had paid the $150 for the ultra bundle (that included Madden). I gave him $70 which was the amount for the basic game.
