I\'d love to post some pics, but I\'m too exhausted from all the gaming lately.

So, I got :

- 300FIM money (200 in cash, and 100 more from a lottery ticket)
- Some clothes, t-shirts and stuff + a bedsheet set
- A box of chocolate and a bag o\' candy
- The new Ultra Bra (finnish music group) 2CD collection
- A Calvin Klein be "stinkset"
- A really really really cute tiger (it\'s a soft toy, not real) from SmallLady! *cuddle*

There...

Hey, wait! Almost forgot!

- Devil May Cry (bought is myself and MY GOD! Luvvvvvvvvv this one!)
- Burnout...
- ...and a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP steering wheel for my PS2 (and PC)! This combination of unique software and a top-notch peripheral has already given me some of the most intense gaming moments ever. Highly recommended.
- A new hunger for GT3 because it feels just so damn right with my new wheel. I would\'ve never played it with a pad if I only had known...

Here\'s the small sample of what I got for Christmas...

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryu.lewsers.com%2Fdvd.jpg&hash=1b5884e21dc4d62a10c303aadb29c3881cdbb4ff)

Pictured is listed as follows:

The Score with Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton
The Matrix Revisited
Top Gun with Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis (box set)
X by Clamp
Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise (box set)
Blood: The Last Vampire by Visual Works
Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise (box set)
Samurai X Trust and Betrayal by ADV Films

All titles are on DVD format.  Accept no substitute. :)

Now, here\'s the big haul that I think will make a lot of you just a wee bit jealous...

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryu.lewsers.com%2Fbig.jpg&hash=c2632f13994055c943f7a8e31543fe51a87376f5)

Pictured is listed as follows:

Microsoft X-Box Console
3
X-Box controllers
X-Box DVD Kit
Halo
Dead or Alive 3
Max Payne


Quote from Santa Claus upon placing the gifts in my room:

"Goddamn Electronics Boutique and their stinking bundles!"

Nintendo Gamecube Console
2
Gamecube controllers
Memory Card 59
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
WaveRace: Blue Storm
Luigi\'s Mansion


Quote from Santa Claus upon placing the gifts in my room:

"Goddamn Electronics Boutique and their stinking bundles!"

Final Fantasy X for the Playstation 2
Golden Sun for the Gameboy Advance
Advance Wars for the Gameboy Advance

Please note, not all of these things were not completely paid for by Santa Claus.  As a matter of fact, I paid for a great deal of these items or at least a good portion of these items and no, not all of them were given to me today.  Last week was when I recieved the X-Box and I paid for 90% of the Gamecube at launch.  I also paid for 60% of FFX while my girlfriend paid off about 20 bucks on it.  However, no matter how little anyone helped out with them, I still paid for a good portion of them regardless.  I just don\'t want you guys to think I\'m spoiled.   I do work hard for what I get. :)

Not pictured:  $260 for future purchases.

Title: Post your christmas gifts, pics if you have\'em.
Post by: SonyFan on December 25, 2001, 04:25:19 PM
I got:

A pair of Jeans
A wool hoodie
2 T-shirst
A pair of Airwalks (Needed new Shoes BADLY)
A beard trimmer (Also needed badly)
A Language pack (Book & Tapes) for the Lakota (Souix) language. (REALLY been wanting this)
A Lava Lamp
A Perpetual Motion machine thingie (Looks like a Gyroscope with magnets)
Some cash
A few gift cirtificats to a local head shop
A small catalog with "any 1 item free" coupon
A copy of Final Fantasy IX (Yes, still hadn\'t played till now)

But the best gift I got was a VCD & VHS copy of a film that my sister made. She had taken a bunch of old photos and some OLD 8mm films from Waaayyyy back in the day and put them all into a movie set to music. The best part was the second movie which has a lot of clips of my Mom and Dad from back in 79 - 82 and a few of my aunt Doll, set to the tune of Anne Murry\'s "Dannys Song"

(BTW: My father passed away 2 years ago, so being able to see and hear him again from back before his heart problems started was a real treat.)

I could have been given all the gifts you guys recieved this year and then some.. and this VCD would still have been the best gift I would have recieved.

Its nothing great. Nothing fast either. It burns a cd within like 15 minutes. I know I know, but I figure what the hell, as long as it gets the job done screw it. It would be nice to have it burn in like 4-5 minutes but it does the same thing mine does, it just takes longer. Oh and BTW, its a KOSS Dual Tray w/ Simple step recording CDR200. Not the best I know, but like I said... it gets the job done. Im grateful for it, Im lucky I got it at all. If your thinking why I didnt get an internal/external is because my computer is to slow for most of the burners out today. Comments?
