| Monkey Mouse   |  Parents offer to trade their kids for the PlayStation 3 Have Baby, Will Trade for PS3 How far would you go to get your hands on a brand-new PlayStation 3? Would you trade your car? Your pet? Your child? Apparently some people are willing to go as far as the latter, a Minneapolis radio host discovered. Dave Ryan, host of "Dave Ryan in the Morning," posed an on-air challenge, asking if anyone would be willing to trade in their baby for a period of time in exchange for a new PS3. Much to the host's surprise, people were more than willing to take him up on the offer. The station's call lines were jammed with people willing to exchange their babies for one of the impossible-to-obtain new game consoles. Needless to say, the station did not actually give away any PS3's, nor did they confiscate any babies. The Source

| NCO   |  Re: Parents offer to trade their kids for the PlayStation 3 There are times when I'd be tempted to trade in my son, Ben, and something as cool as the PS3 would just sweeten the deal. He's not quite hyperactive, but as everyone keeps saying, his mind is always ticking away, getting him into some scrape or other. Sitting still is not an option. Ironically, his 'adorable' cache has just shot up, as he has been picked to play Joseph in the school nativity, and his singing makes his teachers want to cry, they say, but in a good way. Guess the 3 will have to wait (we're buying them a computer (finally!), anyway...
