DDR for PlayStation2 I want to get DDR for PlayStation2 but my parents think it's stupid. I've got enough money to get all the equipement and everything but they won't let me. Is there any way I can convince them it's more than just a 'stupid arcade game'? Thanks.

DDR is great for exercise! Someone I know lost like 6 pounds from it. Tell your parents about how beneficial it is for your health & that you will get great exercise from it. Ask them this: would they rather you be sitting around on the couch with a controller playing other video games, or dancing & exercising while playing DDR?
GOOD LUCK, I HOPE YOU GET IT! ]
DDR isn't a "stupid arcade game" at all. Tell your parents that it does help you get and stay in good physical shape. You're not being exposed to crime scenes of graphic characters being killed or killing each other etc like you would be in other video games. ]
When parents hear video games, they always fear the worst. Instead, show them these articles stating that the DDR is actually good for you -

Let them know also that you've been saving your money for this. ]
Tell your parents that this game is actually one of the few games that arent stupid. Instead of sitting on your butt playing games all day, this game keeps you active. You learn coordination and you keep in shape. ]
Parents are really tough when it comes to video games, but one reason it's a good idea to get this game is, even thoguh it is yes, entertainin and fun and everything, it can also be a pretty good work out session! So if you're not very active, this could be a chance for you to get some exercise while having fun at the same time.
Also, if this is all your money and everything, shouldn't you be able to make the decision of what you want to purchase with it? I mean, I know they'd have the right to say no if you wanted to buy a like, gun or something, but this is just a video game.
I hope I helped. ]
Tell them that its EXERCISE and it really is! You will get a work out doing it. And its not a stupid arcade game tell them that its probaley one of the best PS2 games ever made...thats what my uncle told me. Along with Wii. Good Luck :) ]
There is no way to change their minds on what they think of a PlayStation. They will always think it is a stupid arcade game. There is no convincing. Sad, but true.
What is their reasoning behind not allowing you to spend your own money on it? Is this money intended for something of more importance? If so, maybe you can compromise with them. You can work to earn extra money specifically for your game. ]
