Don't just list games. Tell us all you expect to buy or be given in the next few months. Things you desire, not just a new pair of socks?
Socks - when I was a boy you were lucky if the plural applied!

What games are you getting for the PS2 Babylonian?
My list consists purely of games, DVDs, and some accessories for my camcorder, as I pretty much buy everything else for myself throughout the year, leaving little or nothing for anyone to get me!
I'm getting my parents a DVD player and a few discs to play on it.
Alyson is Willow.
Oh yeah. Tony, what was that you said about a Dreamcast deal coming soon? A week has gone now, so you can say.
I hope to get a couple of games from the following: Shenmue, Quake III (DC), Dino Crisis 2, Medal of Honor Underground, Tomb Raider Chronicles (PSX), Mickeys Speedway USA, Bond TWINE (N64), Donkey Kong Country, Spiderman (GBC).
Of course I will have my brand spanking new PS2 by then will have a couple of games SSX, Tekken TT, and will want some DVD's to watch: Gladiator, Sleepy Hollow, Blar Witch, Scream 3, Saving Private Ryan. Some videos as well: Men Behaving Badly Series 6, South Park Season 3 Box Set, Simpsons Series 2 Box Set 2.
Despite not being a kid anymore I still want toys such as Star Wars stuff.
The only thing I know Ive got is a couple of albums: The Offspring and Foo Fighters. The rest will probably be clothes, aftershave/deodarant sets, chocolate and all other boring things!!

Time is getting short, December is only 10 days away. Should SR decide to launch a new .com domain name during this period, they should use this period to start with merchandising the new brand name so that it is imprinted on customers memories.
If they are fast enough, then the domain name could be advertised with every point of sale, every telephone order, every WWW order. More aggresive selling would be required, and reliable suppliers for merchandising, but it just could be done in this short time period.
Keyrings, pens, mousemats, notepads, laserpens, alarmclocks, SR watches, SR MP3 players....get that brand name out into the market place quickly and efficiently until it is branded into our brains. SR wrapping paper, SR e-cards....E-CARDS!! No there's an idea.....
One more thing, please would it be possible to move the links column from the left hand side of the screen (where it appears as about 20ft long and takes a lot of scrolling to sort through) to both sides of the screen? Then the links in the bottom half would get hit more often.
Did anyone see the new John West salmon advert on TV recently? The one with the bears fishing for salmon then this John West guy comes along and starts to fight one of the grizzlys over a fish, and the bear starts karate kicking etc....funniest thing I've seen in ages.
Maybe SR should start with the TV adverts, or radio, or more of a web presence, getting more listings on more sites, more reciprocal banner exchanges?
Am I wondering around mentally here? Yes. I'll shut up.
Comics look like they are starting to make a comeback as well, but most of the good stuff is imported from the US. I remember a time when I used to spend £15 per week on Vertigo comics like Sandman and Hellraiser. I've still got most of them (keep everything, me!)
veryy funny, I don't think that The Matirx was likely, but it's for you to decide tony(whatever your real name is)
