I dont mean to hate (ive said all of this before, anyway), but why in the world did you want a Hi-MD player? Theyre just as expensive as iPods, and not as good. Not nearly good. I love my minidisc player, its really nice and probably the best thing you can get for $100, but after using my sister's iPod for like 20 seconds I realized it shits all over anything the MD technology is capable of. Its just not worth getting an Hi-MD player.Quote:

Hah, good luck. I've searched all around the bay area for a place that has 20g iPod's in, and the only place I could smuggle one out of was the official Apple Store AT Infinite Loop. Give it a couple of weeks, and they'll be back in stock.Quote:

I was surprised that they still had 20s. My pops bought mine yesterday from there. So I guess more places might.
Also got Mario 64 DS, a tiny ass, festively red digicam from Radio Shack, and $150 from the family, Kingdom Hearts GBA and Pokemon Box from my best friend John, and a Badtz-mary plushie from Danni ^_^Quote:
Mzo0: I swear I saw the nativity baby jesus cry when I opened a gift

Good times.
Although I have to spend the holidays in the hospital, I was able to get some good stuff and will get a bit more when I get out.
MSR Whisperlite Backpacking Stove
2 MSR 11 0z Fuel Canisters
Backpacking Water Filter
MSR Cooking Pot
Between A Rock And A Hard Place
Clerks X
$100
North Face fleece
BTW, hospitals are not fun places to be during Christmas.
Everyone seems to have some good shit. I wish I had that iPod. =(
My parents shocked me by actually getting me something. I got the Misfit's "American Psycho" album. I've been listening to it all day.
That surprises me. I wouldn't expect the 40g to be sold out anywhere, really.Quote:

I was sent out by my boss to get an iPOD for his son, his son is going to have to deal with a Creative Labs Zen Micro. The three places I cared to check on Thursday didn't have them.

Tain got me a gigantic plush Nohohon kitty, and made a Chu animation Christmas sequence that is truly awesome. It's been a damn fine year, haul wise.
i got
20gig iPod (the money to buy one, none in stock around here)
mini ionic breeze air purifier
LOTR RotK EE DVD
Aqua Teens season 3 DVD
Spiderman2 DVD (but i already have one)

-Spider-Man 2
-Asphalt Urban GT
When it comes to playing GBA stuff, the DS blows the SP out of the water displaywise. The improvement is like taking a Dreamcast off of your S-Video TV and then using it with a VGA Box. Thinking about getting a GBASP? You might well want the DS instead.
PS2 Games: Ace Combat 5, Taiko: Drum Master, Leisure Suit Larry
2-pack of Sony PS2 8MB Memory Cards
Dreamcast: Chaos Field
PC: 512 MB of RAM (raising my total to 1 Gig) and a 256MB GeForce FX 5700LE graphics card. I noticed the difference while playing Soldier of Fortune 2- my Intel Extreme Graphics onboard chip often choked on SoF2 even if I lowered resolution to 640x480, while with this new GC I've ran the game in 800x600 with zero frame loss.
Bunch of chocolate
Emerson clock radio/CD player
The O.C. Season 1 DVD set
Zorro movie DVD (from 1969)
Boggle pocket game
Wal-Mart gift card for $20
Some Levi's shirts & jeans
Stetson Cologne & Aftershave set
$50 cash (I'm going to buy Mr. Driller-Drill Spirits for the NDS with some of this)
Nikes
holy christ you guys are spoiled
Seriously. Comparing Christmas to Hanukkah sickens me.Quote:

I gave about 20 gifts, I got about equal. Thus is Christmas. The time to go all out, at least with my family.
Or you come from an inferior set of genes. :pQuote:

(Personally, I think it is none of anyone's business as to what I do and do not own, but that is a non-issue, I just do not post in the haul threads. I guess I am just curious, since I can not comprehend such a thought process.)
-Dippy
I think I posted what I got back on page 1 or 2, and as it turns out the dvd player is going back to the store because it's a horrible peice of crap and won't even play shit it's supposed to properly. Stay away from low-end Toshiba DVD players.
And I stand by my claim that you guys are spoiled. :chick:
You think some dude from a message board is gonna come to your house and take your iPod? For reals?Quote:

$100 gift card to J. Crew (I've never set foot in that store before... I wanted an H&M gift card...)
$100 from grandma
Sweater and shirt from Express
The Icelandic Sagas (I already have a copy...)
$15 iTunes Gift Card
A Mini Cooper (of which I have to pay half)
Not the best christmas ever, but I liked it. It's just great to be with family, I guess.
Batman: The Animated Series Vol. One (from my brother...and I got him the exact same thing)
Some appropriate clothing (suits/ties) for my upcoming internship
I find it strange that everyone calls their stuff collectively as a "haul", like christmas was all about the "haul". I'm not offended (roffle) or anything, just amused. SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS INDEED.
This year it was money, lots of desperately needed socks, jeans, t-shirts, and kitchen appliances. It feels weird that I'm actually happy about getting practical stuff at this stage in my life, as opposed to wanting lots of new toys. I was incredibly happy about getting the socks. :p
I work retail, so I'm personally glad that Christmas is over
Anyway, my haul:
Enough clothes to last me until the second coming of Jesus
neat little watch and compass
$1,040
Just got GTA SA (an intended gift) for $37 at Target, yay!
Why do you get a scrolling title and I don't. Bah!Quote:

but through it all, i learned that christmas isn't about how many presents you get, or how much wrapping paper is on the floor the next day, It's about how GOOD the presents you get are, uh, and magic, and family, and bacon,
Amen.
Dude, Christmas is about Santa's birthday. He's a true American hero.

I got to experience the true meaning of Christmas this year. 2 days before Christmas, I was sent into the hospital for stomach and eating problems. At first I thought I may be able to get out by Christmas Eve, but sadly I was greatly mistakes. It's now a day past Christmas Day, and I'm still stuck here in the hospital for who knows how long, and to make it all worse, I'm miles upon miles away from home.Quote:

I had recieved a few presents and would have gladly been willing to hand them over in a second and not get anything else just to be home. Not only did I miss Christmas, but I have to miss out on a snowboard trip to Colorado with a friend, who is going to be pretty ed off when he finds out it's cancled.
So my Christmas haul?
At least a one week stay in a hospital far away from home
minus a snowboard trip
Clerks X
Several books and magazine
Comfy as hell North Face fleece
and some outdoor gear from REI
Supposedly, there is more waiting for me at home, but honestly, I could give a damn. All I want is to be home and healthy again. Now that is Christmas to me. At least I was able to be with my parents in the hospital, and that makes this the greatest Christmas of my life.
Yeah. Fuck Santa.Quote:

Half of the posters in this thread got iPods for Xmas. Anyone find that really odd? :\
and the other half already have 20 gig iPods. :)
You guys got a lot of stuff. Disposable income is cooler than holiday gifts, though.
Considering it's been the hottest holiday gift for two years now, no. I find it odd that so many people got TWO iPods for Christmas (not necessarily here, but a lot of my friends did). I had to pony up my dough to get mine, and I find that to be more rewarding, honestly.Quote:

That's touching. And awesome. That's a lot of freaking money she spent on you.
That's my favourite.Quote:

Yea, it was really nice. I had no idea. She put a tiny note on a little piece of paper placed in a jewelry box, then in a bigger jewelry box, then in consecutively larger boxes... seven in all. And yea, she did spend a lot of money on me, but we both did. I actually forgot to list my one of my favorite items (and most likely one of the most expensive - a Lip Service straight jacket with padlocks). It was a great xmas.Quote:
