Salutations,

Not to be smug, but I just had the best Christmas ever.

I don't know if my parents secretly won the lottery or what, but the amount of cool things I received this year is ridiculous. I actually feel a little guilty... but then I remember it's Christmas, and that's no time to be feeling guilty!

Unfortunately, I don't want to spend much time dishing out a bunch of written details (you'll see why), so I'm just going to share some photos of the cream of the crop;

v - 80GB Sony PlayStation 3. (!)

Finally!

Please, add me to your Friends list: - thebisonxrc

ps3

v - PlayStation 3 games (clockwise from top-left); Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Resistance 2, Lost Via Domus, NHL 09, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, Socom: Confrontation (with mic).

Yes, I know, Lost Via Domus is the odd-duck. My mom knows I love the TV show, so she figured I would love the game. I have yet to play it, but if the average score on GameRankings means anything, I doubt I have much to look forward to.

ps3 games

v - Lost, Season 4 Blu-ray.

Oh, so sweet. I can't wait to watch through it all again.

v - $50 iTunes card, 2000 Wii points.

Yay! I'm addicted to music and iTunes, so $50 will go a long way. And the 2000 Wii points will be great for any upcoming WiiWare or Virtual Console titles that are worth my time.

cards

v - John Lennon: The Life, 20 packs of hockey cards.

I love John Lennon and I love hockey cards. Score.

book

v - Old, tattered ZZ Top hat that I did not receive for Christmas, but felt was worth sharing, anyhow.

The best Christmas ever!

I will elaborate more later.

Cheers!

EDIT: How could I resist sharing this beautiful PS3 wallpaper? Hopefully my girlfriend does not want to play the system.

That is an awesome haul. Glad you finally got that PS3 you have been wanting with some great games. The low scores the Lost game received are unfortunately well warranted. Even as a fan of the show i havent gotten through more than about an hour and a half of that game.

That is indeed a great stack of gifts. Merry Christmas .

Wow! You had a great Christmas
I want to get a PS3 myself but I'll wait and see if the make a God of War 3 bundle in the future.
I have that John Lennon book as well.

@ChiefMrBam: It's too bad that the game turned out so badly. I will eventually try the game out, but for now, it's still in the shrinkwrap. I'd trade it in, but I'm sure there'd be no real value. Oh, well!

@PlasmaBeam44: Thanks!

@DJSAV_101: God of War III is going to be awesome, no doubt. Did you enjoy the John Lennon book?

$880 worth of gaming stuff if I am not mistaken. Amazing.

I want a PS3...
Posted Dec 28, 2008 7:42 pm PT
Awesome! Lots of people seem to be getting consoles for Christmas this year. I wish I did
Posted Dec 28, 2008 7:56 pm PT
It was a good read on the long bus rides home from college. You will enjoy it.
Posted Dec 28, 2008 9:30 pm PT
A lot of awesome stuff, hope ya have fun with it

@SMR-Venom: When you put it that way, I feel even more guilty!

@GamerBoy53: Yes, get one! And when you do, add me to your friends list!

@Kenny789: I guess a lot of people figure you can never go wrong with a console (which I believe is true!). What console would you be looking for?

@DJSAV_101: Great to hear, thank you! I am definitely looking forward to checking it out.

@Paleo_Orca: Thanks!

We got the same tv.
Is it a 42''?
Posted Dec 29, 2008 12:43 pm PT
@DJSAV_101: I wish it was a 42"! I'm using a 32" at the moment and it seems to do the trick given the size of our living room. Still... 42" would be much better.

You very lucky my friend. All I asked for Christmas was Mario Kart Wii and Resident Evil 4. Didn't get neither, didn't get nothing.
Posted Dec 31, 2008 11:49 am PT
@Ultamite-Ninja: Oh, I know. Such a generous showing at Christmas cannot be taken for granted. To me, time with friends and family is more important, anyhow. After all, I don't get to see them that much.

lol Nice background. The one thing sony did excellent was on the interface. XMB is fantastic IMO, I love it on my PSP.
Posted Jan 1, 2009 3:36 pm PT
@SMR-Venom: Ha, thanks! You are definitely right about the XMB. It's a great, easy-to-use interface that has just the right amount of customization. I'm a big fan of it on both the PSP and PS3.

Nice haul! I like how you arranged your games so Lost is off to the side, all alone and ashamed of itself.
Nice PS3 wallpaper, too. If your girlfriend sees it, just pop in a Blu-Ray and distract her with the amazing picture quality. :-)
Posted Jan 2, 2009 2:00 am PT
@superluigi96: Haha! You know, I didn't entirely mean for Lost to be half cut off, it just the way the blog did it because of it's narrow frames. But even so, it is without a doubt, so alone and very ashamed of itself! Good idea with the Blu-Ray, though I may run in to problems, as I don't have any Blu-Ray seasons of "What Not To Wear" that I can distract her with.

thats rad, nhl 09 is amaaaazing! and nice zz top cap haha.
Posted Jan 6, 2009 2:28 pm PT
@joesh89: No doubt! NHL 09 is probably the most accurate hockey experience ever in a video game. It's unreal, actually. And glad you can appreciate the ZZ Top hat - it's classic!
Posted Jan 6, 2009 9:37 pm PT
Its a lie, i've been to his place and all there is are old empty mustard jars and a deflated air-mattress.
Posted Feb 23, 2009 9:53 pm PT
@nitsud_19: Hahaha!! Awesome.
Posted Mar 7, 2009 11:59 am PT
Damn, those are some excellent gifts! Nobody bought me anything gaming related for Christmas (and they all know how much of a gaming fanatic I am). So I saved up my Christmas money + work money and bought myself an 80gig Playstation 3 this past January.

I'll add you, my PS3 ID username is: "slimdave21". And if you play Metal Gear Online then my Konami game ID is just "slimdave."
Posted Mar 11, 2009 8:18 am PT
@slimdave21: Sorry it has taken me this long to reply! Thanks for the add on PSN and I look forward to playing something with you sometime.

Cheers!
