What Did You Get for Christmas??

I didn't see anyone else start this and I started this in the HD section because I got mostly BDs.

The big thing I got was Apple TV! Woo!

Then I also got:

Clerks BD
Chasing Amy BD
Forrest Gump BD

Re: What Did You Get for Christmas??

I don't think we need to say "BD" since this is the HD talk area. I got:

Forrest Gump
South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Harry Potter 6 (wife's)
Tinkerbell & the Lost Treasure (daughter's)

Nothing as usual. My family never buys DVDs because they know that I purchase almost everything that comes out and they are unsure of what I already have.

Same here. My girlfriend, family and friends know I have a big collection so they usually look elsewhere for X-Mas gifts.

I did get some money from the family, so I'll probably use that to get some BD's

Nothing. Another day one guy here. Sometimes I leave stuff I don't care about too much for th elist, but this year there really wasn't anything I was on the fence about.

At least I have gift cards to buy 9 and possibly Paranormal Activity.

Re: What Did You Get for Christmas??

I bought myself Watchmen:The Ultimate Cut. Knew no one else was going to get it for me so I bought it myself. However, I thought I dropped enough hints for someone to buy me Buster Keaton's The General. Oh well, my birthday comes up next month.
