Unlimited Access Persuasion
 
Okay. I've thought and thought about paying for unlimited access, and now I've decided to give in whenever I get the chance. I have to ask my parents to fill out the forms and stuff and they have to use their credit card. I have all the money for a year and I don't know how to ask them I want to pay to play this game. I'm not going to say "Mom! I want to pay $80 a year to play this little game!". They'll say no immediately. So, anybody have an idea?

Well, you can tell them this game is fun for you to play, it is also one of the safer games for youths to play since it is a Disney game. Then let them know they have full control over your chat, therefore protecting you further (parents love to know that you are being protected). Let them know Disney has strict monitoring system in play and for a game, this is much better than Doom/Resident Evil/GTA etc that many youths would rather play.

I'm all old and stuff, so it's been a long time since I had to ask the rents for anything, but if I were you, I would go in asking for a shorter timeframe. Not only is it cheaper overall, but they should be less likely to think that's where you'll be for the next year.

However, if, when they start to set it up, they see how much cheaper it is per month to do a longer timeframe...they may go for it. I know I did. :)

Also, like Angel said, you can definitely try to sell them on the idea of it being a Disney game.

Id sell them on Disney (as several mentioned before), and it might be easier to draw them into that first month for $4.95, and then work them on the discount if they pay for it annually vs monthly (or maybe.. they'll just want to keep paying monthly)

I agree. I purchased an account for myself, and an account for my kids. If you are serious about getting them to pony up for the subscription costs, sell them on the parental control features. My account has no filters, my kid's acount does. I paid for them both, set both of them up, and have full control. Show them the good aspects of the parental controls. It may help

Buy a Disney gift card at Target?

DarkScarlett 05-12-2008 07:05 PM

i say go for the disney card too just to show them you are serious about commitment.... I, being a parent , have a chore list and specifics on agreemnet to pay with my child, its my account and she has a pirate but NO PLAY unless she meets her end of the deal... if your parents are not interested in playing... barter offf a deal with them... and stiick to it maybe that might work.... trash, laundry, dishes just think of it as another quest list, LOL

As a mom, I have to say, it's harder to argue with your kid about something like this when thier making straight A's :), plus this is a rather family friendly game. :)
