Here are some gift ideas

For Teens:    The motorola razr v3, a high tech phone that does just about everything.

For Men:    The Scotte vest, a high tech and awesome vest for men.

For Women:    A robot vacuum, what woman wouldn’t want one of these?

Digital cameras; good gifts for men or women.

Under $300 and small:  Canon SD200(3.2mp) digital elph
                     

Under $400 ultra zoom: Canon S1IS (cool camera, image stabilization)

I would really like a dSLR like the Canon Digital Rebel or Nikon D70 but those are way too much, around $800.

What about if they could offer some PDA/Cell phone, like the new Phone palmOne Treo 600?!! 😊 

http://www.palmzone.net/modules.php?name=Amazon&asin=B0000SX2U2

And they could even make some extra on the side offering to sell plans as well. I would jump in a heart beat if they offered some of the new cool cell phones/PDA, after all everyone uses a cell phone and a PDA.

I would love to be the winner this 17th. My luck number!!
Happy holidays everyone!!  :D

wyzt? Hitori sticks? LAME

Hori Sticks(japanese>american sticks) are better
so…

Hitori sticks are only for playstation, the X-Arcade two person arcade sticks are for all systems and pc with support for Mame, meaning every video game anyone owns, and every arcade cabinet rom that you can imagine. Mame is over 4000 games now and it’s freeware. You just need to get roms, and roms are like getting MP3s, you should always own the actual property before downloading all 4000 of them which is over a few gigs. For example 4,486 of them would be about 6.81gigs. Not that I have 4,486 of them on my C: drive taking up 6.81 gigs of space, and neither does my wife.

so, for clarification…Hitori Sticks suck, and are totally lame ass, and x-arcade is the wet dream of every gamer from the squinty eyed hunchbacked xbox freaks to the quarter jamming asteroids geeks of the early 80s.

I gotta go play asteroids now so think x-arcade, and consider sending me one as an apology so the wife and I can get head to head on qbert and burger time.

First off they have a hori for every system…then theres converters…cost like 8 bucks…

Second off…For 3d fighting games japanese sticks(usually horis) are by far the most used sticks

alot of 2d players use american though…but for 3d its almost always hori
Of all the Soul Calibur and tekken players I know(I know alot…I travel across the country for tournies…qualified for soul calibur 2 nationals) you either have people that play on Hori…or japanese sticks of some kind…or on a regular controller….And I think ive seen maybe 1 or 2 xarcades…..and its really funny seeing em lug that huge thing around

but saying xarcade is so much better cause it can be used on multi systems is stupid…Hori is much more precise design wise…After starting to play on japanese sticks I can’t even stand playing on american(plus with american sticks they end up breaking really easy….even though they seem to be alot more sturdy….)

I know a guy(well lots of guys) who literally punch their buttons and throw their sticks…often….and they still work perfectly…except that one time that guy punched a button(fist as hard as he could like 10 times) and the button actually pushed INTO the stick….but he still fixed it haha

And as far as mame goes…..I just use a controller on mame so shrug

but yea ill stop arguing on there….too make this less off topic…

I like this camera…can be for anyone old enough to want to take pictures

Ok, here we go:

PC Enthusiast: an Athlon 64 chip with a mobo like a MSI K8N Neo Platinum and a 6800 Ultra, that hardware is crazy right now and top of the line! Add in some water cooling setup like something from Danger Den to top it off!

iPod owners: an iShark! Although the reviews on this have been iffy, this looks too cool! I already am thinking of getting it for an iPod owning friend of mine (of course I will be borrowing it often 😉 )

Hardcore Gamer: go to Japan and pick up a PSP! I don’t care what anyone says, this thing is sexy! And with games like metal gear solid coming out on it, it has to be awesome!

The business worker: something by SCOTTeVEST! Those hidden cargo pants are crazy! Gadgets hidden everywhere!

The “I am a goody 2 shoes and don’t know much about electronic but my parents are rich and bought me a photo ipod even though I have no clue how to use it and will probably use 12mb of my 60gb!” - Gift cert to itunes, encourage them to keep their music legal 😛

Dad - dads remind me of watches, so, some crazy watch from thinkgeek!
