I know what that's like. I have 12 games in a 2-bedroom apartment (all in one bedroom). I bought an 8-ft pool table a while back because I'm serious about pool (and very good, btw) and the price was too good to pass up, but I'm also paying about $75/mo for a storage unit to keep it in until I have a house. I got lucky and was able to make small payments over time to get it. If I would've had to come up with all the money at once, I wouldn't have it now.
Y'all are still young, though, and will someday get to a point where you can afford stuff like this on a whim (I'm still waiting to get there, myself). Why not draw him a nice portrait of one and let him hang it above his computer so he can look up an drool every once in a while?
Matt might want to get your offer to buy it yourself someday notarized. I'll bet y'all have the same conversation about this as my wife and I do when I get a chance to get something cheap/free. "Where are we going to put it?"
