So Christmas is coming. I'm pretty excited, myself.

With the recent release of the PS3 Slim at a lower price point, and a plethora of new games promised to the system in the near future, I'd imagine a lot of people will be asking for that. Personally, I'll wait until something comes out that I can't just play at a friend's house.

There's the recent game releases as well... Dragon Age: Origins, Assassin's Creed 2, Uncharted 2, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Brütal Legend, Left 4 Dead 2, Zelda: Spirit Tracks...

So what are you hoping to get for Christmas, or perhaps just buy in the near future? Tis the season to be capitalists, after all.

I'm gonna ask for Metroid Prime Trilogy, as I don't have the first 2, and I forgot my MP3 to a friend of mine and he moved away to the other side of Finland lol : D Bad luck, but atleast I've got another reason to get it : D

I'm also gonna ask for either New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Tales of Symphonia 2, or both :D

Oh and I'm saving some of the money I'm getting for a M-class driving license, so I can drive a moped : D

And then I'm probably getting some clothes and some other nice stuff.

lots of GAME wants eh?

my dad got me a netbook :>

Windows 7 Starter Edition, btw, is complete bullshit. You can't use Windows Media Player, can't change the desktop background, you don't have administrative privileges in the systems folder... bullshit.

The idea I guess is that Netbooks are too weak to do anything significant ever, so of course you don't need WMP.

well, i can agree that you never actually NEED wmp, seeing as it sucks balls, but.. still. how can windows make an op where their own media player doesn't work xD that's so retarded xD

Well, supposedly WMP is one of the key features of Windows 7, making it more integrated/less resource consuming/more pretty. I also don't think it allows alternatives to it, either, but I was too fed up by not being able to change the desktop background to even bother checking up on that.

Fourth Night of Hanukkah: Kinda keeping it private. Was a sweet gift though.

Fifth Night of Hanukkah: I'm POSITIVE it's Spirit Tracks. My grandmother kept saying, 'don't worry about that game, you may get it one day this week.' I PRAY it's tonight.

Cygor, I'm really sorry to hear that this is your first Christmas with divorced parents. It's really the time of year when the reality of that situation sinks in. This is now the 3rd Christmas since my parents separated, and it's still really difficult for me. I actually get teary-eyed whenever I think of my mother trying to keep up the traditions.

And that's who I'll be spending Christmas morning with, my mother. She goes to extreme lengths to put lots of mass under the Christmas tree, even if it's just a bunch of small things in huge boxes.

I'll see my dad later in the day, and then family, so I'm really quite busy Christmas day, usually.
