I didn't ask for a lot because I didn't really want much, but so far I have:
-Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest DVD
-A cool dart board/poker set
-All four volumes of the new James Bond DVD sets (all 20 movies, slim cases, widescreen)

I'm at my grandparents house right now, we havn't opened presents yet, but it'll probably be cash. :-)

WII!!!!! But all we've got is Sports and Excite Truck, my mom let me choose between ET and Zelda, I chose ET because, well, I got Double Agent and should probably beat it instead of getting side tracked by Zelda.
I had a blog. It sucked.

Have you seen these discount bins at Wal-mart? It's terrible. They just pile all the games and movies in there and expect customers to go through the shapeless mass of products to find anything of value.

Good luck

Further gifts today consisted mainly of cash. Tomorrow I'm buying myself a 20.1" widescreen (to use with PC and 360), might also pick up a Wii, DS Lite, or PSP, depending on what the store has and what the prices are like. My birthday is January 10th though, so I might just wait.

That's why you get the discount. They don't have to pay for the labor required to sort them.

I had asked for several items and Im chuffed :)

Firstly got a new laptop (A dell Inspiron 6400).
Some clothers (a jumper/jacket, jeans, socks and T-shirt)
Got Star Wars 'Cloak Of Deception' and 'Rouge Planet'
Some a travel radio (got some new earphones with it)
But more importantly I asked for Least Worst Of by Type O Negative
which is a hard CD to find and it has some unkown and rare material on it - also
got Christ Illusion by Slayer and Vulgar Display Of Power by Pantera.

However the day was dampended by problems in my family which resulted
in the fact that my grandparents bought no presents this year, but not that really
bothered as I had everything I wanted this year :)

Its actully Boxing Day but Happy Christmas :)

I didn't ask for anything so I got a $300 visa card and about $200 in cash from other relatives. I ended up buying an acoustic guitar ($330 guitar, I got it for $250) and an XBox 360 with an extra controller and Gears of War. (I went halvsies with my brother.)
Think while it's still legal.
