I’m not just going to buy you a PS3. You have to work hard for it. Say, how’s getting a perfect score in the math exam?

It is used instead of ' for example'. It's in common use but it's also poor grammar

According to my dictionary, the word 'say', when used as it is in your text, is used to attract attention.
It's a shortened form of 'I say!', which indicates that the speaker wants someone to pay attention to what he is about to utter. Examples:
1. I say! What about a ride in that speedboat?
2. Say! You know what I've been thinking?
3. Say! Can I borrow your bike?
