Whats on your Xmas List?

edited December 2009 in General Chat
Very simple. List 1 item you want for xmas, but keep it reasonable, dont list a car or a stealth bommer (or the next season of a certain TTG series). We're talking like under $100 or so.

Me:
I'm wishing for LittleBigPlanet

Who's next?

    One of the best games I have ever played, and I don't even own a PS3.

    Me, basicly this
    1. Nintendo Points cards(they are the same as Wii points cards)
    2. Microsoft Points cards(Xbox 360)
    3.Scribblenauts(DS)
    4. Mario and Sonic at the WINTER Olympic games(Wii and DS Notice it’s WINTER Olympic games, not Mario and sonic at the Olympic games, it’s the WINTER games)
    5. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky(DS)
    6. Bakugan Battle Brawlers(Wii, DS, or Xbox 360, but would prefer DS)
    7. New Super Mario Bros Wii(Wii, not out until Nov. 15)
    8. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts N Bolts(Xbox 360)
    9. Kirby Air ride(Gamecube and may not be out anymore)
    10. Xbox 360 HDTV cables.
    11. Mind Flex(it is not a game)
    12. Rabbids go home(Wii)
    13.Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon(Xbox360)
    13. A laptop
    Just saying this litterally was my Christmas list I created Copied and Pasted. My family knows nothing games so I had to label just about everything with little details such as saying it is Mario and Sonic at the WINTER Olympic games so I don't get the original. I also wanted the new black wii remote which I forgot to add(but still got on my birthday:))

    You did your list on a computer? I didn't know santa was computer literate! Mind you, he's got his own DAB radio station in the UK (radio lapland i think)

    I already know pretty much exactly what i'm getting (i was helping my mum to order it, and was there when it arrived).

    I'm getting every single series of star trek the next generation, aswell as the new Star trek film (Bluray with HD download and comic book). I'm gonna feel real nerdy come christmas day, opening wave after wave of ST... Now, i wonder when that klingon dictionary will arrive...

    Yeah. He can hack into all of our files and find the lists, so you better delete those photos.

    Reasonable: Framed Monkey Island poster. I have a few pin buttons and random objects hanging from picture hooks at the moment, I figure it's time to get something a little heavier on the wall. Besides that, if something's going to fall on me during an earthquake it better be something manly like a pirate poster.


    Unreasonable: Wacom cintiq tablet that I keep drooling over and wishing the economy would start eating away at the price tag... I really can't draw all that well but I have this overwhelming urge to have one.

    Money's exceedingly tight this year, so I'm just going with an MP3 player. (Yeah, I know what my gift is ahead of time... it's kind of a mini-tradition. We still do "surprise" gifts, but the main gifts each year are usually known about beforehand.)

    Money's tight in my neck of the woods, but I heard my parents bought me a PS3.

    My mum bought one aswell, (except she needed help choosing the best deal, so i was there when she actually bought it, so i know about it) It's mainly a present for the whole family really, but i think she only bought it because she liked the look of Eyepet in Toys'R'us (she accidentally kicked it, and it started attacking her).

    you lucky B*******... I have to pay for my own PS3 (though I'm selling my PS2 and buying used so I only pay ~150 for a 60gb w 1controller, 1media remote, 1charger stand + 1 HDMI cable)

    Well, i payed for my wii, my DS(s) and half of my Laptop.

    Just a question, what do you need a media remote for? You can control the Bluray player with a standard controller (i think), so if you are looking on ways to cut back, theres one. I suppose it's easier with the remote though.

    A while ago I really didn't need/want anything new, but now...

    I'm a photography geek, and last week smashed my favourite lens. I feel extremely bad about it - that thing survived Africa, Borneo, and the Galapagos Islands, only to meet an untimely end in Trafalgar Square. I suck so much! :(

    So now I want a new Canon 28-135mm IS. But my family doesn't have much money and lenses are crazy expensive, so it will be a present to myself sometime next year. :)

    I would love to be good at photography! But my hand is far too shaky to take any decent ones:(

    I paid for my Xbox 360, my N64, my Gamecube, my Gameboy, my laptop, my desktop... (only systems I didnt were my Gamegear and my SNES) my family is not exactly 'into' consoles...

    Have you tried to use the PS2 without media remote? (asuming the PS3 is the same, then...) you have 4 button choices - 1 stops the movie, one brings up a menu, 1 (I think) paues/plays and I cant remember hte other 1 (I dont thing the sholder or bumper buttons do anything)... that menu is around 25 icons that appear over the movie, you have to navigate through them then using the analog stick, and it may take several minutes to find the right one, especially if your not used to using the stick to slighty movements. And half the time I'd forget which button to press and I'd stop the movie and have to re-start and fast-forward to where I was before.

    Likewise for Netflix, but worse because if you stop, you have to buffer initially, then FF in a slideshow-format, then re-buffer.

    Also PS3 uses Bluetooth, so all it's accessories, including the remote, can be used on PC with a little software tweaking on the PC side.

    Fair enough. What is netflix anyway? As that like a movie rental service? I don't think we get that in the UK.

    It's DVD/BDs in the mail + Online Streaming to Xbox360, PS3, and verious DVD/BD platers. They have movies + TV Series.

    Hey if you're interested, don't let that stop you! I can be massively uncoordinated (as evidenced by dropping that lens!). The great thing about photography is that you're always learning and improving - same as any other hobby I guess. :)

    puzzlebox is so awesome it hurts ... my pride. :p Seriously though, I'd love to be able to go off to exciting places and stuff; you must have great vacation photos! Where in Africa did you go?

    Haha... puzzlebox is definitely not that awesome! You get a skewed perspective because I don't tell you about all the REALLY smart and awesome stuff I do, like the other day when I walked into a door (not just a little bump, I mean I really smashed my head good)! Note to self: ensure door is open before attempting to walk through. :p

    Mutual forum love for you, Lena_P - you're so obviously well educated and widely read, it embarrasses me. :o

    Ahh I want to answer without sounding like one of those annoying stuck-up bragging travel w*nkers who are all like "I climbed Everest by myself, in one day, without oxygen, and only half a peanut in rations, while being chased by rabid snow leopards". :rolleyes:

    Africa was camping in Uganda and Rwanda. Seeing mountain gorillas in the wild was just... magic.

    I count my blessings every day, but usually run out of fingers and toes to use. :p

    Oh hey! I did the exact same thing with a car door once! And my bathroom door! And I tend to trip when I walk! Unless I'm wearing high heels, go figure.

    Don't be embarrassed! I'm actually neither of those things! Seriously, I've never read a "serious" author in my life. I just have a taste for popular British authors who wrote between 1800 and 1930, and half of them have become literature because they're old and stuff. I never even took Calculus in high school.

    *sigh* Now I'm completely and utterly jealous. You don't have any photos of the gorillas you could post, do you? Mountain Gorillas are almost as cool as Space Gorillas!

    Insecticide Part 2 for PC!

    Even though I am yet to play part one, it looks brilliant and when I do play it, I don't want to be forever waiting for the second half of what looks and sounds like an awesome storyline.

    To pretend this isn't totally derailing the thread: you want a gorilla for Christmas, right? :p

    Actually, now that you mention Space Gorillas... one of these guys does look a bit weird.

    PM'ed you my Flickr link for bigger versions. :)

    Money.

    I'm a poor student :(
    I spend far too much on games, clothes, music, DVDs and books as it is, but now I have to buy my own food and toilet roll etc (AND pay for my prescriptions...there are no benefits to turning nineteen in the UK) the money just disappears.

    I would like some TIME to play games as well. Damn you and your time-sucking abilities, Cambridge.

    I'm playing Sam and Max season 2 at the moment (I got hooked, I knew it would happen) but should be writing essays on modernism, Joyce, blahblahblah...I want to analyse the symbolism in Silent Hill instead, please.
    And maybe the use of post-modernist conventions in ToMI?

    me too, allready opened a few interesting heavy duty cards but allready spent it on Spirit Tracks, Brutal Legend and a few DVDs. Spirit Tracks-MUCH too easy and linear with boring side missions (drive someone/something from A to B in exchange for rupees/extra warp points). I enjoyed Phantom Hourglass and practically every previous Zelda release, was anyone else slightly let down? There were still some clever puzzles towards the end to redeem itself

    That's a good lens, tried it out with a friend of mines camera, I'm pretty much hooked on this lens: canon ef 50mm f 1.8 ii if you don't have it I highly recommend it, it handles light pretty well. It's also very affordable ;). My current favorite :)
