screw giving, what are you buying *yourself* for christmas?

[nageov3t]

it's that time of year again I'm done with the bulk of my shopping (it's nice only buying for 4 people this year), have some extra money, and it's time to buy the most important present of all... the one for myself

this year I just bought myself a bunch of books on amazon. I've been plowing through 1940's-50's scifi but have been starved for something to read since finishing I, Robot a few weeks ago.

nothing yet tho i might get myself a 8800GT or just build a new Core Duo comp alltogeher
Verizon keeps calling me and telling me that i can get pretty much any new phone for free as its been 4 years sence i last upgraded so i may do that

im pretty sure im getting the 16GB Zen from someone which i will prob resell/tradein for the 32GB one which just happened to come out 2 weeks after i asked for the other one

 

[lyssword]

I just got new core2 (mobo/cpu/ram) for under $180, was planning a new vid card too, but being a college student, budget is a bit tight so I prolly won't be buying anything else.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I don't really need much, but i did just spend about 100 dollars on clothes the other day. If I don't get a GPS device for xmas, imma buy myself one, but other than that, don't want anything except big ticket items like a new car.

 

[Joemonkey]

prolly a wii game or 2, i need to finish metroid and SMG first

 

[cKGunslinger]

I got an '08 Mazda3.

 

[Kelemvor]

An empty Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet so I can turn it into a Mame machine. Hopefully I can have it operational by the time relatives come over Christmas morning.

 

[SpunkyJones]

quad core, 8800 GT, along with other various parts for a pc upgrade. Wife saw all the empty shipping boxes in my home office and told me she hoped I didn't spend too much on her and the kids. I told her not to worry about that.

Man I have been on a tear this season.

Bought the following so far

50" Panny Plasma from Crutchfield on Black Friday
New Whirlpool Duet washer/dryer combo Black Friday price matched.
Onkyo 605 receiver from clubonkyo
New polk tc615 inwalls for the living room that set me back around $350

If I keep this up I may be sitting on the street watching the tv.

I guess I will have the best decked out card board shack on the homeless block
