So what did you get for Christmas?

[Potwin]

My brothers, my sis, and me got a Wii, Twilight princess.
I got Yoshis island DS, hotel giant, socks, a shirt, dragon planket ,
monkey sleeping suit, a bathrobe, candyyyys, a cristmas cracker with funny joke,
Black & white II, an new pc artsystem. more candy, and a new harmonica.

[Contention]

Yeah, I didn't get too much, but I got a lot of nice expensive things. I feel like I've betrayed you all, though, what with me taking an XBox 360 over a Wii. I'm sorry, Yoshi's Corner. I'm sorry. D:

Ah hey there now Lance, don't worry about getting a 360 over the Wii. It's not that you might put one above the other, it's just that you recieved the item on Christmas and there is nothing wrong with that. Besides, no frets; what matters is that it entertains you. The thing so many people worry about with consoles is that they never know which one to chose. Thus, it's an attributation to the console war. However, don't let that get under your skin; if you can have fun with your new console, then that's what matters. Besides, sounds like you got yourself some very nice and open games for the 369; some of its better titles. Hopefully you'll be able to recieve what you want from them, and use them to your advantage. That should give you some long hours to game, as well as a few to just do what you wish. On that note, with your Xbox 360, did you get any sense of Live for it? Of course, if you don't want to say, you don't have to Lance. Just wondering of the likes. If you did, you might find a lot more to do even after the main storyline of the game is over and through. That's something that the 360 is known for, with it's Live abilities. Seems everyone has jumped aboard though. Bet you have quite the amount of skills when taking out others.

Rainbow Six Vegas you say? Hah, it's always interesting to see people have a Tom Clancy title. They always have a nice background to them in order to continue a series. As well it seems that you got GRAW to go beside that. That's actually smart thinking, since the two are commonly known to be some of the more famous titles for the 360 than others. Peculiar though that they both take themselves to be Tom Clancy franchise pieces. On that note though, you also mentioned that you got Halo 2. Although from the past, that should keep you heavily occupied as time goes on. Depending on what you like to do of course. The story they say can be fairly short, but the difficulties can keep you going back; on top of that, if you have Live, you can waste the hours away in there. Though, woe and be warned, Halo 2 is not known for it's mature audiences. When any title, no matter on what system, becomes overpopular; there will always be the flock of kiddies to grub at it's entrails. Bet you could take them all on though, with your Woosh, Bam, and Pow skills. So don't feel strange about the whole 360 ordeal, besides the system is a good one and will last you. What really matters, is not the system you got, but that the system is what you want. Meaning, even if it's some system that hardly any would know about; if it makes you happy, then keep it and play it. So always keep the gaming up there Lance, and don't worry about it buddy; make sure your heart is forward, and your trigger finger is ready.

A twenty one speed mountain bike was in that full package as well? Very, very nice there Lance; that should give you many things to do once the weather gets going again. Never knew you were that type; it's awesome to learn that. It's also great that you recieved some big presents. It's true that thought does matter, and with that much in your hands, you'll definetly be going for quite some time. It seems like you had some nice wishes, and that you were able to get many parts of which you wanted. Which is what matters, as long as you had a Merry Christmas.

As for what you mentioned there Teh, that's actually a very good question; the existance of Banjo-Threeie is known, but no one seems to comprehend it's release. All that has been seen is a very strange teaser for the title. No date is given, nothing. However, a lot of people rumor at the end of 2007 or somewhere in 2008. Though it seems that for once, Rare is not going to rush the title; likely because they saw their large mistake in Perfect Dark Zero. If they take their time on it, and shape it correctly; they might actually retain their special sparkle. Many people have commented on Rare as being off par since it's take in Microsoft land. A lot of fingers point at Microsoft itself. Whichever is the cause, should still find some way to let Rare be the company that it used to be. From PDZ to Viva Pinata, they still have flowing titles, just not with everything that they used to have.

Sounds like everyone had an awesome Christmas though, which in truth is what matters. All the Nintendo fans got their Wiis, and even those that might have not retain their knowledge of a future ownership. Goes to show that you all are dedicated, and definetly with the system. It also looks as if everyone was able to get their beloved nick nacks and keep themselves happy. It's good though that all were able to get something they were wishing for, and also to enjoy it. So keep up the spirits, all the way even past New Year; and may the journey into 2007 be a peaceful and relaxing time.

I hate you all that got a Wii XD.

I think I came out pretty well. I'm happy with all that I got.
Well, the biggest present is probably my 30GB iPod video. I was stuck with an old 20GB jukebox (at least 3 times as big as an iPod and about 5 years old XD) before this iPod and it's such a relief to have something new. I also got about a dozen new 1/24 scale cars which will go directly into my closet, since my 40 car display case has been overflowing since about the middle of last year (I need a new case XD). FFXII is the lone video game that I got.

[yoshling]

I got Gears of War! But then my Xbox 360 broke a week later just after my garantuee ran out, so i'll have to pay for it to get repaired =(
