Peace on earth?
Good will to all men (and women)?

Pretty happy with what I have ... except the '73 Big Block Ragtop Corvette that I lust over :( ... and the only person that will get that for my stocking will be me ... and not until I win the lottery and can justify having a car just for the fun of it.

My list:

46" LCD TV (which I'm planning to by myself next week)

New iMac, 20" monitor, memory upgrade to 2GB, hard drive up to 500GB, graphics card upgrade, wireless keyboard and mouse, then bypassing the monitor and using my TV

Another iPod, the 80GB video, because my 60GB vid is full and I hate having to decide what to take off of it to add new stuff. So the 60GB would be used for audio and as an external hard drive and the 80GB would be used for videos.

X-Box 360 and Wii. This console-less life is driving me insane.

That is the order I will get things. I am at the mercy of stores for the Wii, so that may be one of my New Year's resolutions. Get the Wii!

MacBook or MacBook Pro. Nothing more, maybe less.
Aside from that I'm pretty satisfied with what I have. Just got my first car, so all is well.

Well, honestly, I'm pretty happy with what I have, but my list is pretty unrealistic because of the costs and obvious demand for the PS3.

<>Playstation 3 with "Resistance - Fall of Man"
<>Any ultra fast laptop like an Alienware or Dell XPS or maybe a tablet PC for when I go to college.

---The More Realistic List---
PSP GPS (When it comes out)
PSP Camera (When it comes out)
A couple PSP Games
Maybe a couple PS2 Games
4 gb Memory Stick Pro Duo for PSP
Any cool gadgets
A Wireless Router

Aw man, I can't wait to start watching "A Christmas Story"
I'll probably start watching it right after Halloween is over.

My debts are more than payed for with my current salery, so not never. I just don't see anything that warrents "ZOMG MUST BUY" status at the moment.

It's wonderful not living in debt. I don't have a single line of credit and no debt, but there are a few of those "ZOMG MUST BUY" items that have to wait until after I move. *le sigh* Want now!

Yo, try checking out the X-Rocker chair. It has speakers in each side and a sub woofer in the back. It's pretty awesome and the bass is right on your back which is pretty cool. I believe it's about $80-$100 dollars.

There are tons of things I want but can't really afford much. If I buy only one thing for myself this X-Mas it will probably be the HD-DVD addon for the 360. :)

You know....if you've ever seen those Soby TV's or Nimtendo DS. I don't wanna come home and find out it's a guy with a Scarlett Johansson mask because that would be, not only horrifying, but it would scar me for LIFE!

Just say NO to false advertisement.

iTunes giftcards.

I'm out of from country from September - December, so there's a lot of TV I've missed out.

The Office / Studio 60 / New Family Guy Season, Lost S3, etc etc

New Nintendo DS games wouldn't hurt

and an iPod shuffle.

I'll buy a macbook / pro myself eventually later in 2007, when Leopard comes out. I'm going to keep my eMachines laptop until then.

Nooo, not an eMachine?

I don't know, Emachine to Apple Macbook Pro... Don't you think you should buy a Dell or something to smooth the transition?

tokenuser

10-27-2006, 06:43 PM

Nooo, not an eMachine?THeir desktops might be budget basement POS machines, but their laptops were pretty solid.

When it comes down to it, laptops are manufactured by only about 4 companies around the world (eg Flextronic), regardless of who has the badge on the front of the laptop.

My list is only really two things, but I usually get other little things as my list changes depending on what video games are coming out or I buy prior but my static list is:

iMac 24" monitor, 2.16 GHz C2D, 1GB RAM (maybe will upgrade later), the upgraded nVIDIA card, 250GB HD, Wireless Keyboard/Mighty mouse. (may receive this a little bit before Christmas but will be considered a Christmas present)

Wii with Zelda and Trauma Center as gifts. I will end up buying more games with money from my extended family.

The amount of salivation dripping from my lips is downright terrifying while typing in the words:

The revered, blissful, godly Canon XL H1 with the Technik Mini35 converter and a Cooke S4 35mm Prime film lens :D

Oh, and as always - A pony... 31 years and I still haven't gotten my pony...

All I can think of right now is just a Wii. That and maybe a job so I can finally upgrade my machine.

i want either a core-duo computer, or a sick free ride mountain bike... see below..

But that pictures just an example, what i'd really like to do is build my own computer.... ::trails off in a dreamy voice::

Honestly though? I don't really care what i get for xmass, as i only celebrate because of the necessity (read: family)

edit: but i guess if i really could get anything? I'd go for peace on earth, as Bird said :cool:
