HOLIDAY GAMING: What did you ask for / what are you buying?

[Croooow!]

Wii Points. I'm trying to build a nice sized Virtual Console library before Nintendo gets it in their head to shut it down. It might not happen for a number of years but I'm not taking any chances.

I ordered myself a new gaming laptop, which I told my wife she could consider my Christmas from her.

Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1GB
8 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
15.6" HD Glare with integrated camera 1366x768
Integrated 2.0MP Camera

2012

I detest putting together a list of things to ask for around the holidays, but usually have to do it anyway. I'd like to think that people who feel obliged to buy me a gift would already have an idea what I like...[/quote]

might be 2012 but it will be bought with Christmas money so I think it counts

Looks great. By far the weakest link on that laptop is the screen but you can easily hook it up to a TV or monitor so thats not so much an issue.

On the video game side, probably going to ask for Solatorobo, Kirby: Mass Attack, any Professor Layton game outside of Unwound Future (probably Last Specter first), any Ace Attorney game outside of the first, and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Outside of gaming, I want a video camera and tickets to Midwest Gaming Classic in March.

It was $879.20 + tax.

It's Christmas everyday for me. Seriously though, my presents usually come early. Black Friday spoils are often my early Christmas gift(s). Amazon should be delivering my PS3 this aftrernoon; that's my Christmas present. My wife feels having a 46" LCD in the living room is obnoxious, so I ended up getting her a discreet 32" LCD (LED) for the upstairs (her Christmas present)

Honestly, I tell family and friends I have everything I need or really want; however, if they feel absolutely compelled to get me something, my Amazon wishlist is that way ---->

Let's see...pretty much all Xbox 360 games as far as gaming goes:

Dead Island - apparenlty there's a special edition on the 360 version as well as the PC so I asked for the SE on 360. Idk what's so "special" about it but I guess I will find out.

Condemned 2
F.E.A.R. 1, 2, & Files
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions
Bioshock
