Maybe a little early? Ah well.

No matter what the age, you will always have something in mind that you would like for Xmas, however unlikely it is that you'll recieve it or not is irrelevant.

I should be getting an Ipod Nano as my primary present. I've yet to own an Ipod, for whatever reason I've always tried to avoid them, I don't like joining the mainstream crowd, but every MP3 player I've ever had has never really satisfied me. I have an Archos 605 WiFi, and it's brilliant, but it's way too huge to just walk around with to listen to music on.

For games, I'll probably be getting Football Manager 2008, Fallout 3, and possibly Fable 2 and Far Cry 2 once I've decided if I they're worth it or not (I nearly completed Fable 2 for the few days I had it for).

I'm struggling to come up with anything else really, so hopefully your input will give me some ideas.

My Christmas list now consists of lists of things I'm buying for others.  You sort of stop making wish lists for yourself at a certain age.

Would I be lying if I said nothing? I mean honestly, the only thing I might want is a new computer monitor. If that at all. The big thing I got last year was a Zune 80GB, and I don't know if I want anything at all this year. Aside from the obvious -- that being clothing.

A little early? I already spent my Christmas budget that my parents gave me, about a month ago. I'm not getting many games this year, but I am getting a lot of game-related things like novels, artbooks, action figures, etc. The majority of my purchases this year was buying Batman comic books. Can't wait to read them. :D

A job. I don't need anything. I'd rather buy something for other people, but the catch is I need the cash to do that first.

I don't allow people to get me Christmas presents.  I don't want them, and I don't like getting them.  I've actually gotten thoroughly pissed off at people for not respecting my wishes in that matter.  It seems rather improper for me to get presents when there are far less fortunate kids out there that should be getting them instead.  

Eventually, people started thinking that I was trying to pull some kind of "I say I don't want them, but it just means that I really DO want them" kind of thing, which is completely untrue.  For the last five or six years, when someone DOES get me a present, I'll usually donate it to Salvation Army or Toys for Tots or someplace that offers presents to underprivileged kids.

Same for my birthday, but that is for different reasons and they are donated to different charities that I wish to not name.

I know what I'm getting, all of its for my computer. A new motherboard (P5Q Deluxe), CPU(E7200) and 2 gigs of DOMINATOR ram. I'm paying for some of it though because its all kinda expensive. I'm also deciding on a good online FPS, either Team Fortress 2 or Left4Dead.

I usually donate about 3-4 presents a year to charity, and it's never shitty stuff either.  That's the only presents I give out.

Rock Band with the equipment, some DVDs and that's about it. A job would be nice too, but I doubt Father Christmas is going to be that generous.

Im the same way, but i dont usually end up donating my gift, when a person puts enough thought into getting you a present, that means they were thinking of you when they get you something. It would disrespectful to the person who gave you the gift not to accept it.

Lies!

For a (still) jobless student, being generous to others is sorta out of the question.

I'll be the one handing out most the presents, to little cousins and nieces/nephews and such.

God i miss waking up christmas morning, looking under the tree and getting some great presents. Then spending christmas with my parents, watching christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate :)

Well, enough reminising. I have a bunch of family staying over at my dad's since the Aga Khan visited Vancouver. My family knows im a gamer so il probably be getting random games from close family members.

Il be getting my mom a new LCD TV and my stepdad's watches :)

Not at all early for this thread, apparently retail sales are going to be down by around 50% at the major outlets so BestBuy and others may be ordering less to put in stock. It would be a good idea to purchase what you want early on.

What I'd like this year is as follows:

-Gears of War 2

-Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

-One other game, maybe Left 4 Dead. I'm not sure yet.

-Some type of back massaging device, I have a bad back from lugging around my backpack all day and not using a locker. I can't stand lockers.

-Maybe a hoody or something else.

This will be a relatively light Christmas, but I'm fucking looking forward to it! Christmas morning is the day where I get to be a little boy again, I can't wait!

I really want to, but so many people are saying that the lack of content is a huge disappointment. I don't want to get it and find that no one is playing it and I also think I've missed any chance of getting in a L4D bombing run.

The game is like Counter Strike, not meant to be played like the conventional fps game, it's meant to be played over and over again, it is SO different every time you play through.
Plus, the Versus mode is insanely awesome.
But yeah, a couple more versus campaigns would be incredible.

I'm still trying to decide which one out of Sonic Unleashed, Prince Of Persia or Tomb Raider I'd most like.

Some enthusiasm would be nice too.

It's going to be a really light Christmas for me with games because I have a school trip to Quebec soon and it's going to cost a couple thousand dollars... might get some other good Xbox games after and I'm getting Rock band 2 a week later on my Birthday.
