My parents went halves with me in a nice LCD tv for my room, other than that they just gave me clothes, which I'm happy with. Girlfriends mum bought me a Megadeth shirt, girlfriend bought me Metalocalypse Season 2 on DVD. Family members just gave me money (added up to about $150). I'm extremely satisfied.

A mini-lcd flat screen TV with a built in DVD player, an 80 gig PS3, Dead Space and Disgaea 3 for said PS3, Dark Knight Bluray, Disgaea DS, some PS3 stuff, Lego, art stuff, and this badass mini candy-claw-game machine (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Benjaman36/Snapshot_20081226.jpg). I would have to say I am very satisfied.

What the hell, a 90 inch TV? Do they exist?



Sharp and Bang and Olufsen make 106" Plasma TVs. And I'm not talking home cinema projector canvas things either, I mean actual TVs.

IRT OP:

I am very happy. I got what I asked for; money. I was able to buy Prince of Persia, Quantum of Solace, Fable II, Spiderman Web of Shadows and Mirror's Edge all for the small price of £96. At least this global recessions is benefitting someone.

I even have a bit of money to spare, almost halfway for a PS3 + LBP bundle from amazon.co.uk but I'm not sure if I should bother with a PS3 since I've already got a 360. The only thing about it that would pique my interesting is MGS4 and Unchartered anyway.

woodentoast
12-26-2008, 3:48 PM
I got some clothes I don't hate which surprised me, about £60, driving lessons and my first test to be paid for when I sort out my learning and Mirror's Edge which i've become slightly addicted to. Oh and my own copy of Saints Row 2 even though I borrowed it from a friend and completed it already, was a little dissapointed to get that over Fallout 3 but I suppose i've got the money to buy it myself.

Meh I won an XBox 360 at the office christmas party, so for me that was Christmas sorted. Besides, I gave myself pretty good gifts. Some Airsoft gear, nightvision, Halo 3 (The one that comes in the giant black box with a Spartan helmet that you totally can't wear.)

Bought the wife jewlery, and took her to London to see the Nutcracker ballet. She was pleased, I think.

The Kid's getting one of those toy piramid ring things. She'll like it.

I also got a Mah Jong set (awesome), sponsored a meerkat, jewelery, jewelery drawers, plane ticket to Queensland for the family holiday next year, $80 worth of gift vouchers, and cat toys and stuff. I have a decent sized family.

I'm really happy with the haul this year. I mean, most of it was small stuff, but it was cool, and stuff that really suits me, so it shows the person buying it for me knows me. And with the gift voucher, I got Diablo, Diablo 2, an expansion for Diablo 2, and Loco Roco 2.

Edit: and a coupla hundred dollars from the graveyard shift I did at work Christmas night.

spaj
12-27-2008, 5:41 AM
Loads of random stuff, including a Creative ZEN mp3 as the "star" present. I don't find the idea of getting lots of materliastic gifts exciting anymore like I used to, especially now that I don't play games that much at all (having read Pelican Man's post though, Diablo is still awesome, though).

A trip somewhere or an inventive night out with my boyfriend would be a better present - can't have it all now, can we...

Gastroenteritis, "The Gift" by Cecelia Ahern and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by JK Rowling.

Haven't started on the Bard Tales, but I've just finished The Gift and it really rocks.

Gastroenteritis sucked, it lasted at least 36 hours for me. And I had to be hospitalized because the add-on diarrhoea caused me to be dehydrated. Needed intravenous therapy with rehydration solution. Eurgh.

Claudio

I would rent it, or buy it used.

My friend came round my house with it, and we played it for a good few hours and there's no way I'd pay full price for it.

I put it this way to him: "It's not good enough that I'd pay full price for it, but it is good enough that I want to own but at the price of a used game"

Which finger are you wearing it on??

Honestly the best gift I got this year was seeing my two nieces, one for the first time in 2 years and the other one for the first time ever.
My entire nuclear family was under one roof again after half a decade and we lasted 5 days without fighting once. It was a great Christmas and I almost didn't want to go back home again.

Other than that, I received a futureshop gift card, some nice sweaters which rocks because I didn't own any, socks which also rocks because I barely owned any, a pair of PJ's, a hat, a big warm bathrobe, cookbooks tailored to my eating choices, school supplies donated in my name to a classroom in Burkina Faso and 150 dollars cash.

I kind of wanted some sort of iPod from my parents but I have four other brothers and sisters and they don't really have the money to treat us all equally.

I got 80 pages into Jennifer Government, and it is a great book.
What do you suggest for when I finish it?
I can try Syrup, but I don't mean just Max Berry. I mean something weird like Jennifer Government.

I'm very satisfied. I got a 16 gigabyte iPhone, a tiny 8.9" laptop, a pair of Oakley Straight Jackets, a bunch of new ski gear, and a bunch of smaller presents. My grandparents gave me $100 because they couldn't think of much to get me. And my other grandma gave me $250, just cause she's cool I guess. I'm pretty happy with Christmas this year. I was really sick on Christmas, so that sucked. I've actually been sick for 2 or 3 weeks. It sucks.

I got a new Silver Bullet hair straightner which is awesome because it doesn't ruin the ends of hair. The Sims 2 for my DS, a new wallet, t-shirt and some undies. Pretty happy with them although I only got my big present today. Which happened to be a brand new Dell Studio 15 inch laptop, 500gb hardrive, TV tuner, bluetooth and in an awesome bright green. Pretty stoked with it.

Syrup is good...Next by Micheal Crieghton is also good, Starship Troopers by Robert L Heinlen is not weird, but freakin bad-ass.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It will Blow you mind-hole.

This year rather paled in comparison to last year, but I'm still satisfied, Last year I got 2 guitars and a bass and various recording equipment and a few other things.

This year I got all the CD's I asked for, Sever books about Recording, Microphone placement etc. 2 REALLY awesome fiction books (Brisinger and The final book in the Area 51 series) a Shure SM57, couple cool T-shirts and a sweet calendar.

EDIT: I also got a sweet set of studio headphones AT-45's

I had to spend Christmas at the psych warden. Dealing with some so called "anger issues."

Well they gave me a Fruit of the Loom sweatshirt and so far I can say it was the best Christmas gift I've gotten so far.

Best Christmas presents EVER.

A week holiday on a tropical island, a pretty watch, compressed pyjamas, a phone and an ipod.
The phone was from my bf and the ipod from my sister-in-law, the rest from my mum.
Dad called to say he was broke so he wouldn't have to send money.
I missed having Christmas.

Didn't get much of nothing this year;

-A new sweater
-Left 4 Dead
-Some native american antiques (I'm a big Native American lover)

While I indeed enjoyed all of my gifts, the quantity pales in comparison to previous years. But to answer the question, yes, I'm satisfied.

I got a Nikon Coolpix S550, a Dooney & Bourke purse, a couple CD's (Frank Sinatra & AC/DC), a bunch of clothes and socks, a handmade quilt from my mommy, a waffle iron for my apartment, some jewelry and a Wii. (with Mario Kart). So I was very satisfied with my Christmas :]

Gotta say it, From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness kicked No World for Tomorrow's ass. NWFT kind of sucked compared to the rest of Coheed's stuff. Just a little too 'Pop'y.

I didn't get shit, really. I got that AC/DC Rock Band game, an AC/DC poster and their new album from my GF, then me and my dad got a PS3. Basically he only wanted it to play Blu-Ray movies, and apparently he had a coupon. But it's basically just his. I've only fiddled with it a little bit last week to check out some demos, especially Metal Gear 4.

If Metal Gear or Final Fantasy is any good I might end up taking it with me when I move out. But it's very unlikely.

Didn't get shit from my aunt/uncle. Not even 10 bucks or anything. and that was my final Christmas as a "kid".

I was pretty happy with my christmas presents. The parentals got me a new t.v and a bunch of DVD's and a ventriloquists puppet and some new headphones and a digital camera which was cool. And my girlfriend got me an Xbox 360 with Fable 2 and GOW 2. All in all a pretty awesome christmas.
