We all know giving is better than receiving, but receiving is pretty freaking rad too, especially when you've been passing around Engadget gift guides to the fam. And now, as we ask every year: what'd you get this holiday season?
P.S. -Don't forget to check out what people got in the dark ages, namely 2005 and 2004.
this is funny. I guess everyone who did get something are still opening their presents rather than reading tech blogs. As for me, I got Call of Duty 2 for PC (so now i legally own it) and some other crud, but i still get to open my immediate family's gifts tomorrow. Merry Christmahaunakwanza
I got a TOmTOm GO 910(20gb HD), I'm in the process of putting Disney movies on it for my 4yr old. Obviously for when I already know where I am going! Got some 360 games, Rainbow Six:Vegas and Marvel Unlimited.
Ipod shuffle, 4 or 5 video games, Xbox 360 wireless headsrt, some blu-rays and hd dvds. the obligitory clothes. some hdmi and toslink cables But not wii, damn
That's cuz the post for 2007 holiday gifts received contains this comment or thing said by Engadget: "P.S. -Don't forget to check out all that ancient crap people pulled back in 2006, 2005, and 2004." Where the years are links back to this thread and others..
A total of ten dollars, a jar of Pickles, a Tupperware of Dates, "Bod man" stuff, The Da Vinci Code puzzle from Wal-Mart, socks, two t shirts, and underwear.
Overall very much so lower class gifts, which is where the family sits, and on the scale of Christmas' past, very on par with every other Christmas I've ever had.
I can tell you what I didn't get. I wanted one of those new Japanese robots, with the big soulful eyes, wearing school girls clothes. But NOOOOO, I got a %$#@ Home Depo card.
Microsoft Zune was the big one :) I live in Canada, so its a bit of a big deal for me. My mom drove all the way to Seracuse (Sp?)in NY to get it for me.
Lots of love from Canada, Merry Christmas everyone!
some Ti Skullcandy Headphones, Griffin Technology Powermate, Cubeworld Cheif and sparky, 2.0 gb SD card, TIX LED pattern clock, JBLCreature Speakers, A scale
