I have nothing to get for Christmas.
I don't really NEED anything and theres nothing really I'm looking at that I REALLY want.
I thought about this two weeks ago as I sudddenly realised Christmas was fast approaching and since then I have found two things I may like as the only things I can think of.
I would be nice on my parents and say "It's ok, I don't need anything, save yourself the money or just give it to (insert Charity here)". But the way I see it is that it is a time when I get to get things I would usually have to pay for. Which sounds a bit greedy but it's true.
FIRST OPTION
So I was looking at this MP3 player even though I have two broken ones already. It's kinda chunky compared to my Sony NW-E3 but it has got alot more features on it. But a new one might come out soon which I may really want. My friend is getting it, so I may go to his after Christmas, give it a go and then maybe get it for my Birthday a few weeks later. Plus £200 quid is more then I would like to pay for an MP3 player...
Take a look, it's here:

And yes, I know it's out of stock but I know other places with it.
SECOND OPTION
An Xbox.
I have a PS2, Dreamcast, GBA and GameCube. Do I really need an Xbox?!?
Well I would love one for Xbox Live with my Broadband access and a small number of games but thats about it. Plus I would then have all the next-gen consoles which is a bit stupid of me and I will feel greedy and geeky :-D
The deal SR have is great also. Four top games with the console for £200. Same price area as the MP3 player.
ALL THE OTHER OPTIONS
CD's, Games (even though I have enough already and don't really want any particuler titles badly)...other little random stuff.
But what I am talking about here is the main big present. In this case it would either be the MP3 player or the Xbox. I just want something to excite me so I look forward to Christmas this year. The MP3 won't excite me. The Xbox will more.
What are you getting for Christmas and what can you suggest for me?
Or I could just not get anything.

Mini Fridge...:-D
Where is it?
Where is it?
Perhaps even Futurama. You need something to keep you warm during those long winter nights of crappy TV.
Why not consider a mini fridge for your room or some such craziness.

a remote control car, or bubbles.

Battle Royale - Heard good things about it so probably.
Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights - Forgot about this, love it.
And the others I wouldn't get as I don't collect films as once I've seen them once thats all I really want. Series things are ok though, maybe Family Guy.

Might get The Office DVD...but thats all the DVD's I want really.
Get some lovely Dreamcast games, then follow that up with some fabulous DVDs, such as Band of Brothers. I also reccomend Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood and Battle Royale. The Thing is also good.
