Unless your clothes are rags or no longer fit you and you need new ones, you are in the right of spending money in whatever way you want.

Ha. This reminds me of every Birthday i can remember... And i'd always get my games! Screw the clothes you have money!
Get some clothes now I'd say. Leave a bit on the side, wait for the game to come down in price, then get it. Of course, if your clothes are perfectly acceptable, I wouldn't suggest worrying about them, but if they're the kind of rag I wouldn't feel clean wiping my nob on, then you might want to consider...
It's your money, get what you want to get.
Use this excuse, it always works for me: if you wanted me to have new clothes, then you should've got me new clothes.

if money is tight and your parents can't really afford to buy you clothes then they are probably in the right.
if that's not an issue then do what you want.
edit: if you've already got a bunch of games, don't rush out and buy a new one.
tell your parents you're going to save it for a rainy day, then when that rainy day comes buy the game.

Do you need clothes badly? if yes, then spend at least part of it on an inexpensive outfit or two, then save the rest up to buy the game later. Especially if your family would be hard pressed to otherwise buy you the clothes. Essentially, unless there is some profound reason why you NEED to buy clothes, spend it on what makes you happy. However you could earn bonus points if you bought just a couple of cheap shirts and saved for the game later; showing that you can be a responsible person means you will impress your parents and make them proud, and proud parents are more generous parents.Les Awesome said:
It your birthday money, YOURS whether you earned it or not. If you parents wanted clothes for you then they should have made sure that is what you were given instead of the freedom of raw cash... get whatever the hell you want.
This is not a major moral dilemma so don't be hard on yourself if you choose not to do what your parents wanted with the money. Birthday money is the best kind of money, it was given to you and you get to do whatever you want with it. Not like money earned from working or allowance from parents where there are restrictions and conditions you have to abide by. So what I am saying is: buy whatever you want, but if I were you I would buy a couple of cheap shirts and maybe a pair of trousers just to make your parents happy and then just go game crazy (that's what I do)
Buy what you want. It's your birthday money, your parents aren't the ones who gave you the money and buying clothes is what they should be doing anyway.
Dammit Captcha, stop trying to make me type Arabic!

Hmm, my parents clothed me pretty much, and by that I mean, I didn't have to wait for my birthday to get money to buy my own clothes. Money as a birthday present tends to be so that you can buy what you want with it to make it a present, so go buy that game.
I mean, what is this? Even in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he was poor but got to spend his birthday money on what he wanted. Unfortunately it then turned into some kind of sick gambling addiction...

Yeah, I guess it depends on your situation what you should buy... I mean if you get around looking all Napoleon Dynamite,or but nekkid, you might reconsider your parents opinion... but at the end of the day it's your money, and if spending it on a game is a mistake, well, that's your mistake to make... Yup.
