Um… I got my dad Ray Stevens Box Set, but I purchased it from Amazon MP3 so that I could burn the cds and an MP3 cd and be completely legit. I also got him some Hickory Farms stuff I got from the Christmas Party at work.
As far as what I’ve gotten… so far like a 5 dollar wallet, and a set of exercise shorts, and my dad got me some slippers that didn’t fit so they’re his now O_o
I got a few games for the PS3, and some vouchers to go & pick some more games. I already received the games a few days before today, as we’re going away for a while tomorrow. Got Fallout 3, Saints Row 2, Mercenaries 2, Prince of Persia & Dead Space. Finished PoP and working on Dead Space now (in between Resistance 2 and LBP sessions)
My sister in law got me Atari Classics Evolved for the PSP, but unfortunately I already have that one.
As for what I gave, I’ll have to go check with the missus….I have no idea…. X)
I got the full band bundle of Guitar: Hero World Tour for the XBOX 360, some Microsoft Points, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, The Dark Knight 2 Disk Blu-Ray and the Hancock Special Edition Blu-Ray. I also got some other stuff like CD’s and clothes.
I got Rock Band 2 and a PS3 Chatpad. I also got a lot of pots/pans/silverware/etc. for my new apartment (which I hope to find soon!). This year we didn’t really go all out for Christmas, just too many things popped up that deserved more attention. (Christmas is too commercial now anyway.)
I got a cappuccino / espresso machine (!!!!!), leather slippers, a big box of chocolate Andes mints, 20 dollar gift card for a place called Half Price Books, 10 dollar gift card for Blockbuster, money from my dad and grandpa, and grandmother as well. And gum too. And socks. And nice leather gloves. And lots of flavored coffee. And I bought myself a NEW VIDEO CARD!!!!!!! ( ATI of course
)Time to get back into some PC gaming guys!
I’ll be seeing you all on Steam very soon….
With my PC I can catch up on some 360 “exclusives” now, right?
PS3 related – I got Mortal Kombat vs DC…
i got the dark knight on blu-ray, Far cry 2, Fallout 3, Fifa 08,and NBA 2k9
um dualshock 3 but on black friday. counts as xmas present still. and nothin else gamin. laptop cooler(wiht built in speakers and 9 slot memory card readers), Dexter Season 1 Blu-ray(but comes out the 6th lol), and some other stuff. didnt open the surprise presents yet.
Merry Christmas, and remember the real reason for xmas you greedy people lol.
Didn’t get much gamerelated, but I did get a pre-filled VISA card with enough money for a game. I also got some money, enough for another game.
Gonna buy Skate 2 for it, and either another game or a few Bluray movies.
I got a HP laptop and sneakers….first time i haven’t gotten a game
Got 2 Mirror’s Edge and 2 Resistance 2′s lol. But one R2 is collectors ed. So I will be exchanging the extra 2 games for others. Also got a PS3 charging station for controllers. Oblivion GotY edition (already had the normal one but now it’s complete) Prince of Persia, LBP and Space Ace, Dragon’s Lair and Dark Knight on BD. And a 500G drive for my PS3. Think that’s it for PS3 related stuff.
I also got a pair of leather slippers. That’s what sucks about getting older. On the up side I’m a slave to capitalism so I can buy whatever I want.
I got Bioshock, Another PS3 controller, Dark Knight Transformers and Casino Royal Blue Ray tons of clothes, and between me and my wife 600 bucks. And me and my wife haven’t even exchanged Christmas yet since we had to go outof town. Next Thursday we will be doing ours so my list should grow
My parents bought me a round trip airline tickets to Hawaii. My birthday is in the first week of January so the ticket is a combination gift. I also got Dawn of the Dead (1978) Blu-ray Disc and a boxing book on the history every heavyweight champion including the roots of it from the old bare fisted days. I bought my dad the first two seasons of Mad Men on DVD. For my mom, I bought her a North Face winter vest/sleeveless jacket and a step-stool so she can get up over the laundry machines into the pantry without falling on her ass lol.
Happy Holidays every, and have a safe and happy New Year!
40″ 1080p HDTV
Awesome Devin! Enjoy!
For now I have only sweetnesses , but before New Year i will have new computer
I got a new bass guitar
Clothes,PSN Cards,Paris Hilton Cologne,Ipod Touch,Hellboy movie,GNR Chinese Democracy,candles,and assorted stuff.
I got a Paris Hilton Cologne and some nice shirts. Apparently since I’m 23, my close family doesn’t think that it’s still good for me to play video games, sooo I bought/gave myself these in December: Prince of Persia, Uncharted, Alone in the Dark: Inferno and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (40 bucks in Best Buy). And I gotta admit, that cologne really was needed, I was starting to stink! LOL
My wife received the 2nd Gen Ipod Touch from me. I had already purchased us a 52″ Samsung LCD a few weeks ago, so that counts for her as well! LOL For myself, I received Valkyria Chronicles, Dead Space, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Hot Shots Open Tee 2, The Dark Knight on Blu, and Death Proof. Couple books, and some clothes. Nice haul, and I’m 40!
Gaming and Movie related stuff I got:
Dead Space
Little Big Planet
King of Fighters Orochi Collection (PS2)
Transformers (Blu-Ray)
SAW IV (DVD)
Spiderman 3 (DVD)
Everything was clothes related, it was a great Christmas.
A PSP and Madden 09(for ps3).
I’m trying to figure out what to exchange madden for. Any suggestions?
Got lots of gift cards, some clothes, and such. Also got “A Christmas Story” T-Shirt and DVD (Greatest Christmas Movie EVAHHHH!!!!! You’ll shoot your eye out).
As far as what I gave, well, one of the gifts I gave, you can read all about in the article below this one
G/F got me LBP and I have been engrossed trying to get all the items in the Story level but being 53 yrs old somethings my eyes are having trouble seeing…. LoL… But it is a great game it fits more my style of gaming… I would like to see Atari bring back Space Invaders and other “Arcade” titles for their old computers and gaming consoles… Some of those old games were less graphic in the blood and guts and made it easier to play from a moral standpoint ie pixel destroys pixel, you did not get the idea that you were actually killing a life…
Nothing gaming or electronic related for the first time in probably a decade and a half lol. Got mostly money so if I have anything left over from higher priority purchases, I might pick up something for my PS3.
As for giving, well that’s a secret
Although, I did outspend what I received.
For xmas from work i got $175 in mall gift cards so i picked up Bioshock,Silent Hill:Homecoming and the chatpad(all for PS3).Then on Xmas i got Mortal Kombat vs DC(PS3),Prince of Persia(PS3),and The Last Remnant(Xbox 360).Thats about it.But 5 new games in the past week is pretty good.And my birthday was in November and I got Little Big Planet,Fallout 3 (PS3),and Deadspace (PS3) then so like 8 new games in a month plus games that i downloaded on PSN equals lots to keep me busy.
Also with extra gift cards i still have i think i am gonna pick up Uncharted and Left 4 Dead.
Also forgot i bought myself Warhawk w/the bluetooth headset for Xmas haha.So that makes 9 new games in a month.
I got a Sonicare tooth brush! I also got a bunch of gift cards and stuff.
I got myself a 46″ Samsung 1080p LCD and Blu ray movies just cant be beat on this thing! From other people I got money and Crimson Tide gear!
This year I got a yellow light of death, Thanks alot f@*k!^g sony
Ryland, the standard consumer electronics failure rate of 2 to 5% has to apply to some unfortunate consumers. I’m sorry you were one of them. Don’t get upset.

I got a 1000w 5.1 home theater system for my room
, Resistance 2, psp 3000, and an itouch. My brother also got an itouch and $100 from me
