Christmas haul
DaveMMR:
I ended up getting a copy of Lego Star Wars for the Wii (wanted it but never got around to buying it for myself) and Bully (also for the Wii - really fun game). I received a copy of Season 11 of The Simpsons and am wondering why they decided to cheap out on the packaging (cardboard sleeves instead of the plastic hubs?). My girlfriend got me a bunch of boardgames. Oh, and I finally got a copy of "King of Kong". Can't wait to sit down and watch that. Also, a couple of good books: Artie Lange's "Too Fat To Fish" and a book called "The Dumbest Generation" which discusses technology's impact on this generation of teenagers. A lot of good stuff to keep me entertained until the end of the year. :D

I was wondering the same. I think it might have been along the same lines as the Futurama movies being "carbon neutral" i.e. no plastics (or something, thats the only thing I can think of since everything is cardboard on those packages). Just cardboard that happens to be cheap. These things will get wrecked within one road trip. I think I might make thin-pak inserts and keep the cardboard for show.
TOK:
I got an Archos 605, which is kind of like a less elegant but more functional iPod touch.

Also got a PS3 with Tiger Woods 09 and that early release of GT5 (prologue?). I've been wanting a BluRay player so the PS3 has that covered. Not sure if there are any Stern fans on here, but I got the audio book of Artie Lange's Too Fat To Fish. Haven't listened to any of it yet, but looking forward to listening to that while driving.
It was a good gadget year... I got the Archos, and I got my wife an iPod Touch and my daughter a Nintendo DS. I'll end up getting to use those when they get bored with them. I have a PSP and always dismissed the DS as a kiddie handheld, but it does seem pretty fun. My daughter is only 4 and absolutely loves it.

I ran into Santa at Best Buy yesterday, and after a brief tussle, he was persuaded to get me an lcd TV. ;D
House Brand Dynex LCD. The reason I got it was because the floor model Dynex looked better than most of the other brands - even the fancy Sony's and such. They are rebadged LG LCD's apparently. 4 year warranty was only $69 too!

Are you a collector?

Well, a novice one .. I was in Disney world back in 2001, and they had a PEZ store in main st. I bought a Bee-head, and over the years started getting a few more here and there. The Wife got me a set of Pink Panther characters (from the cartoon) one year for our anniversary .. those are my favorite ones, never released in the states.
Total so far is around 55.

Me too. Mine also started by accident. I'm up to at least 300 now, I think. It's pretty interesting how quickly it grows over time simply by picking them up in the store when you see ones you don't have.
