inogenius Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The iPod touch and TV really kill it. If you have a big family, it could be done. And I agree with Conj. Love, Your adopted child, Terry. PS: IF you're going to do Modern Warfare 2 and/or Left 4 Dead 2, you have to do Xbox Live. Both games aren't worth much without the online game play. PSS: Aeropostale (and Old Navy for that matter) make really crappy boxers. Go with Hollister or American Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think it is a pretty good list, he has asked for enough stuff to give you choices so he can be surprised and not know exactly what he is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son keeps saying he wants the Xbox for christmas. I tell him we already have a Wii so play it. I try to avoid the subject since I already ordered his laptop but I am still considering the Xbox. The only thing is, I have no idea which one. I guess I also wonder if whatever it is he is wanting with the Xbox, can he get it with the Wii. He likes those killem all games like you mentioned so I'm thinking you know what he's talking about. Can you give this old mother a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some other first person shooter games out there like The Conduit, and Dead Space, but if I had to guess, he probably wants to play his friends, and they're going to be on either the PS3 or Xbox 360. Regarding the two games I mentioned above, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is Xbox 360 & PS3 only. Left 4 Dead 2 is Xbox 360 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeninpa Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 yes... but I've seen your christmas tree... his dream world is not too far from your reality :)Funny! lol He is getting the iPod Touch for his birthday (12/28), I do plan on getting him an LCD TV but his room is not very big so I don't think he needs a 34" one! I will get him the games.....I hate paying full price for anything so he will get what clothes I find on clearance. The AE flannels are $29.50 each on clearance! I just got him a Rant last Christmas then the Instinct in June, I think 2 new phones in 1 yr is plenty so I am not giving in on that! The iPod touch and TV really kill it. If you have a big family, it could be done. And I agree with Conj. Love, Your adopted child, Terry. PS: IF you're going to do Modern Warfare 2 and/or Left 4 Dead 2, you have to do Xbox Live. Both games aren't worth much without the online game play. PSS: Aeropostale (and Old Navy for that matter) make really crappy boxers. Go with Hollister or American Eagle.LMAO Terry! He normally won't wear ON or Aeropostale but apparently he was willing to give on the boxer brands as long as they weren't from Walmart. Do you seriously think the kid doesn't already have Xbox Live?? lol It expires in January I think but he put GOLD....is there a difference? BTW, this list is only for me,lol. My mom gives me $60 for each kid to buy stuff from her for at her house. I let them pick 1 big item or I surprise them. I usually get them around $200 worth of stuff for their $60,lol. Their gram spends about $100 on each of them, my sister spends $10 on each. I won't disclose my limit......lmao. I don't really know anyway, I'll spend however much I have extra then when hubby gets his bonus check I will spend all of it too,lol. It should be close to $1500 this year! I will probably get the TV with that, I need 4 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just picking up the Elite Bundle at Kmart on Friday. I have been wanting one to watch Netflix on,lol. So I have 2 Gold memberships to buy now. Last year I lucked out and got 13 months for $29.99 on Amazon.com.....I was hoping for that deal again! This COD: MW2 game is killing me....the price won't even drop $1,lol. I hate paying full price.

I preordered it along with Assassins Creed (Xbox), Super Mario Brother (wii) With the order for COD MW2 I got a total of $40 in credits. I ordered Left for Dead 2 (Xbox) from Dell DS13 (almost 14) told me that I should pre-order it because it was going to be a very popular game and might sell out lol.

vsa3janes Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I always told my dd and now my dgd to write down everything she wants and Santa will pick what he thinks they should have. Worked, they make a list and receive a reasonable amount of gifts. I have never heard either of them say there was something they really wanted and didn't receive. Thank goodness, their list and what they receive are no where near the list posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to keep it at about $300 each kid. That would max him out.I just don't think he needs another system. He has xbox and Wii. Why does he need Playstation3???

DS9 just had a birthday and could not tell me what he wanted for his birthday (besides a quad) and now knows nothing he wants for Christmas. DD6 wants an American girl doll and can not think of anything else. DS3 ask for new wrestlers and that is it.
