What are you buying?

[TomUK]

PS3, 360 or wii?

[Fairbairn]

Eh?

[Keturah]

We're getting a Wii...pre-ordered it a couple weeks ago, can't wait ^_^

[Keturah]

Eh?

They're computer games consoles. Microsofts Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3. :)

[Fairbairn]

Thanks - I can safely say I am buying none of them :)

[karen freeinchristman]

My kids would really love to get the PS3, but there is no way we can afford it. They will have to make due with their PS1.

[AngCath]

i can't afford any of them :(
but a classmate of mine has guitar hero 2 for PS2... AWSOME GAME

[higgs2]

We are mean. We don't allow those at our house.

Toe-socks.

I kid you not. Last year a colleague bought his children (who are close in age to mine) a fancy karaoke machine for Christmas. He was very proud of it, and was describing it to the attendees at a meeting that I was at. When he was done I said "well, do you know what I got for my children? ... Toe-socks!" -- and immediately the Karaoke machine was forgotten as everyone reminisced about how cool toe-socks are.

A passive electronic entertainment device can never measure up to the sheer pleasure of dancing around the parlour with every toe a different fuzzy colour!

:( I haven't seen toe-socks since I moved to the UK.

I'm going to try to source some; I must be able to get them from somewhere.

If you really want some you can paypal me and I'll send you some - I don't mind...

same here - we're going to disneyland the week before christmas - so actual "gifts" will be limited this year..they get too much from family anyways - it's almost ridiculous

[SecretBlessings]

I play board games. I'm old-fashioned.:)

[JasonV]

Sorry Tom. Im a PC gamer bro.

AMD 64 4200 X2, 2 Gig DDR2, X1600 512 MB PCI-E PRo, 400 Gig 7200 SATA HD, Nvidia Chipset, Gig lan, T1 line, MS laser mouse (optical cannot compare), 19'' widescreen LCD, 5.1 surround sound, the works bro.

[longhair75]

A few weeks ago, Just before Sunflower's birthday, I found an exquisite three quarter carat asher cut diamond and had it mounted on her ring in place of the smaller emerald cut stone.

I am not sure what i will buy her for christmas

[artrx]

As I'm writing my son and his friends are lined up outside a Circuit City with vouchers for a PS3 that they will start giving out at 12 midnight to those who are there. Only he doesn't plan to keep it but wants to re-sell it on e-bay for a profit and then buy a cheaper one next year. He's still got savings from last year's jobs.

wait..you're a democrat and you're allowing your son to be a capitalist? man........:P j/j

[ChessCastle]

Already own the 360 and am absolutely loving it!

Thats a nice setup.....but the PC has nothing that comes close graphically to Gears of War. ;)

Sweet!

PC games are way superior but it just requires so much effort and money to get a decent money. I prefer the no-fuss approach with consoles.

[SumTinWong]

none of the above. I may break down and buy and original x-box or a PS 2 as I just have the original nintendo

[No Swansong]

None:
Cola has a job now he can buy it and I will just play it. I hope whichever one I convince him to buy will have the next Resident Evil.

[SumTinWong]

R Evil . . . Was that any good? They console games I have played have been Grand Turismo, which I love. On the PC hoever I have played many different types.

[No Swansong]

I have beaten all of them but the best was RE 4. Considered by many the best game made for GameCube.

[SumTinWong]

Will have to check it out. I love good games. My favorite game I think would be Half Life. People say the second is better, but I am waiting for the price to come down before I buy it. Have you tried it? Or are you just a console guy?

Hey, that makes perfect sense. He's 16! Why would he want to agree with his parents on anything?:P

true true....

I laughed to myself this AM when i drove by Best Buy at 7am and folks were sleeping on the sidewalk - man, if you want something bad enough huh??....

Many people think RE4 was the best game of all time. A friend of mine thinks Code Veronica was slightly better, but they both were extremely good.

[erin74]

When you're done with your PS2's or whatever, you can post them to me - we'll make good use of them. Never can quite justify the cost.

We love board games and play a few pc games. Online board games are ok, but I'd prefer it if our distant board game friends would join us for a game.

Settlers of Catan anyone?

[JoshuaCh1v9]

PS3, 360 or wii?

None.

But I'm old:D :D :D :D


Bring back Galaxian.

I was good at that:)

[karen freeinchristman]

When I was about 12, I was pretty good at Pong.

[JoshuaCh1v9]

Gosh. I'd forgotten about that one.

I can't do these modern ones.

Too complicated.

Blasting aliens was about my level

[Torah613]

ah, I will be buying the Anglican Breviary, and maybe a reprint of the 1549. Maybe a couple other prayerbooks as well. maybe a new bible. Instead of buying a new game system, I will take the same amount of money and buy a gallon of gas. ;)
