This year (2010) I gave
- RCA 8 inch Portable DVD Player $99.99 for mom
- Ion Audio Discover DJ Mixer 119.99 for the brother
I got
- Skate Shoes + T-Shirt + Socks
- Big Sony Stereo Headphones
- Chocolate
- A Calendar
And I bought myself
- An XBOX 360 Slim 4GB (and I got some crazy christmas deal for it at GameStop!) $139.98
- Collectors Edition Fable 2 (just the game case, manual, game and bons disc) $19.99
- And The Last Remnant (2 Disc RPG by Square Enix) $4.99
With the game guarantees and the HST the Total for all my XBOX stuff came up to $194.31
Plus I got a free first month of XBOX Live and a booklet of coupons for GameStop valued at $120 cause I bought a console the day before christmas? Anyway it was wierd cause when I asked the guy there two employees started trying to get me to buy the model with the larger hard drive (250 GB?) anyway why pay that extra money when you can just open up one of the older hard drives and put the chip into the new XBOX Slim.

I left the store for a bit cause the guy there was being all like ohhh, if you wanna do it that way that's your choice but you'll just be back here to upgrade to the bigger one soon. When I came back I saw the two games, picked them up and told buddy to sell me the 4GB system I wanted. He didn't seem to happy either cause I kept asking him questions about the games and he lied that there was no bonus disc in the Fable 2 CE which he had to put in the case himself. Oh well... at least I got it in the end
