Most likely, LEGO Batman and Star Wars: Force Unleashed on PS2. I reckon my bro picked those up when Target had them both on sale for $22. I called him from the store and asked if he had seen these sales, just in case ...

I don't disagree with that. I disagree that the Wii is overhyped when someone lists 5 of 8 games that can be played on it.

Are you trying to get this thread shut down?

I disagree. PS3 first, 360 second. Mainly because the 360 is a ticking timebomb.

I haven't really been concerned about the RROD any more over the last year. Obviously it still happens, but the issue isn't as crazy as it used to be so that it's constantly on my mind.

I will probably get game wise, Just a PS3 Controller, and Little Big Planet, I told my parents thats the only things I want. I am thinking I might get an Iphone, just because usually my parents ask me what I want and this year they didnt, but i been looking at an Iphone etc. and they were asking me some questions about the iphone.



I hope they didnt get me one, Cause I figured I dont need one, and I dont want to get stuck with a bill down the road. It would suck if they got me one, since I wouldnt be able to return it. If they were going to spend the money on the Iphone, I would rather take the money.


Besides mentioning the PS3 Controller and Little Big PLanet, theres nothing I want. I already got anything that I wanted. I pretty much buy what I want when it comes out, if its something I really want.

Yeah no kidding.

Thanks to Live.com rebate I pretty much have every single game I could even think of wanting, and Amazon deals didn't help either. I normally play a game, sell it and replace it, but the top of my audio rack has a 2' tower of green boxes (and a few PS3 thrown in)

My wife's response to most things I say is now "Why don't you just buy it".

Now I fight the temptation to blow the $330 Live.com rebates I have posting to my account before they make it from PayPal to my bank account

Oh yeah, I forgot. I bought Animal Crossing: City Folk for my daughter. She wanted MySims Kingdom, she has played MySims before and she really likes it, but checking here it seems AC:CF is better. She also likes to play Viva Pinata in the Xbox, that's why I thought she will like AC. We'll see in a few hours.

I just bought myself an XBox 360 with the Lego Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda pack-in, an extra controller, Bioshock, Dead Rising, Madden 09, NHL 09, and the Orange Box. Merry Christmas to me!

With that you should be busy for the next six months... at least.

My parents gave my Quantum of Solace which I'm actually pretty pleased with as I haven't played it and they selected it without any help so it's quite lucky they didn't get me something I already have. I saw it got average reviews but I think it should provide some fun. I'll be happy if it uses the James Bond theme liberally.

I got Rock Band: AC/DC, and Lips!

Unfortunately, I got Lips (Spanish), so I'm going to have to make an exchange tomorrow. I unwrapped it and started looking at the tracklist, and was like "Man, they put a lot of foreign stuff on here." Then I looked a little closer, and all the text was in Spanish.

I didn't know they had a Spanish version of Lips. Too bad that the song selection is not that great though.

I don't think the song selection of either is that great. I mainly got it for the eventual Rock Band patch. The importing your own songs will be interesting, even though it's not fully implemented the way I would like it (yet).

This'll probably be the first song I try. Don't know how well it'll do pitch detection on those vocals, but it should be a blast anyways!

Amon Amarth - Death in Fire

Zero, nada, nothing, ziltch...I've got more to do with the present games I have before getting more. Still haven't touched coop in GOW2 and need to do as much with Unreal III. Throw in Halo 3 which seems to have gathered renew interest (like coop play) I've got more than plenty on my plate. I just need to fire the 360 up more.

No games but I did get a drum throne and the RB 2 cymbal pack. My wife debated the 3 pack, but seeing how I'm only a medium drummer, and likely won't ever graduate to hard, two will be challenging enough.
