Oh boy, oh boy! If you're especially lucky you woke up this morning to a few wrapped boxes containing whatever it was you spotted on Engadget and have been lusting after ever since. Sure, we'd love to hear about what you got your loved ones (and maybe even a gripe or two about what you
didn't get), but we're sure what most people have on their minds right now is their take of gifts. Merry Christmas!
P.S. -Video courtesy of the
Kuzma family. And don't forget to check out all that ancient crap people pulled back in
2006,
2005, and
2004.

a samsung g600
Nikon D80 Kit.
xps m1330
zune 8 gig from zune originals
xbox 360 pro w/ COD4
380 in cash/visa gift cards
clothes
new snowboard gear that i used 5 times already
new back to my beat up iphone
I got an iPhone from my parents and a Garmin nuvi 660 from my girlfriend. I linked the two together with Bluetooth today (which lets you make hands-free calls, etc) and watched my family's collective jaw drop. Also, Super Mario Galaxy and the usual clothing fare.
I think sometimes we gadget-savvy folk forget about how little the general public actually knows about the technology that's out there. It's fun to see people who are still impressed.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
250$, someone's used bowflex (sweetness anyway), tons of clothes, gloves, hat, and a book of facts. But I'm left wondering what to put the cash towards
somewhere between the iPhone (or some equally cool phone either unlocked or for At&t), Lens for my Nikon, a Logitech VX revolution, some other cool tech item, or spending the next 12500 nights with your collective mother
ideas?
Quit feigning interest Ryan! :p
Wacom Bamboo Fun Small
bustabo is a spoiled fuckbag!!!!
new computer desk, 28" LCD monitor, iPhone, and a new bed.. over the course of the last month though.. and I got myself a nice SLi laptop
rich boy
that or I'm going to face the music when the credit card bill comes in xX
Yeah I got a 50$ gift certificate...not exactly the hi-def tv i was looking for...oh well.
Well seeing as my parents have been paying for my food while i am in law school, the gift of nourishment is good enough for me (but i secretly want a Nintendo DS)
What happened to N64 Kid?
http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/whatever-happened-to-the-n64-kid-189666.php
I hear ya! Parents helping out with food while I'm in dental school is pretty much all I can ask for now... though they bought me a kick ass heater for my efficiency so I don't have to run my crazy expensive electric heater anymore... maybe the fiancee will come over more now!
HAHA, is in lawschool but can only dream of a nintendo DS, that's funny :)
iTunes Gift Certificates... $230 traded hands last night (I got $40 and gave $90)
You might want to check your math there...
What's the point in that?
So I guess Apple ended up with $100!
wow...are you people dense enough to not figure out that there were more than 2 people at his christmas gathering? good grief charlie brown, turn on your brains fro a second and realize that he gave $90 to various people and wound up with $40 and some other people gave to other people....my goodness...
No, I'm pretty sure it was a typo. 90+40=130, mistyped as 230.
In other news, I got a MacBook, STM Case, Applecare, and a bluetooth mouse (logitech, not mighty).
iPhone, Bluetooth headseet and a Tumi Mobile Power Pack.
I got an iPhone too. Thank you baby Jesus!!
Asus EEE PC 4G 2GB RAM and it's black
Lucky
Spoiled rotten
jeallloussss
The preferred term is African American eeePC... thank you.
lol
i gotta go buy mine now.
My friend apparently got the "Caucasian" eee lol
I got a Nabaztag/tag. He is awesome! I also got an HD dvd drive for my 360 and a few cds
BlueTrek stereo bluetooth headset and Bluetooth Dongle, oooooh yeah!
Just cash.
But, with said cash, I'm probably looking at getting a new sound card, PCI TV tuner, LCD TV and X-Box 360 Elite.
So, not too bad then...
That's a lot of cash.
Cash Is Tasty
Well, yeah, if I had enough cash to just go out and buy all that right now, then it'd be a lot of cash.
I meant more that it will go into a pot that will be put towards said items...
Still, cash is good, no complaints here.
Exactly what I was expecting today, NOTHING. Although my Sharp 42" LCD should be here in about 2 weeks.
i took advantage of the black friday sales and got myself a 42" sharp aquos lcd tv as well.....early christmas presents ftw
Same as you, I got nothing, just waiting on the 46" Sony X-series to arrive which is a gift. It was suppossed to arrive before today, but it has been delayed.
Plus I have made a list of things I am going to buy tommorrow in the sales.
Ooh, you'll like your Aquos, we just got one. It is amazing. Enjoy!
Aquos are the best!!
Well that's good to hear seeing how it will be my only ME purchase for a while.
I got three Wii consoles with the special NVidia mod allowing them to run in parallel and the exercise bike peripheral as well as the new 157" Panasonic flatscreen monitor/TV combo!
Uh...no...that wasn't it.
I got a lump of coal.
Some CDs today, but I'm going to be picking up some Bass effects and a 16GB Touch in the very near future...
I got lots of CDs, too (sadly, I have yet to replace my dead iPod).
And a Pentax K10D about which I am thoroughly excited.
Clothes, cash the usual, Phantom Hour Glass, 6000 Wii points, good stuff, Merry Christmas everyone
oh yea, and an 8-Bit tie :D
I got an 8bit tie too, woot
I got a Chumby! It rocks so far but the speakers pop a little bit.
a sweet Casio G-Shock digital watch complete with useless e-data memory
I got a diaper bag... and an iPhone and Guitar Hero III for my Wii. =)
"I got a rock"
Blade Runner blu-ray 5 disc briefcase. Exactly what I was hoping for.
I got nothing. I was hoping my Zune, the one than I won from Zunemax.com will be here by now, but it isn't.
Aliph Jawbone (black). Love it.
iPhone case Bose headphones and a Wii!!!
I got a Samsung SC-D372 camcorder I gave my wife an iPod shuffle.
Westinghouse digital frame, wine chiller, wine decanter, knife set, signed copy of Bill O'Reilly's new book, some more books. I bought myself a new wheel/hub set for my Motobecane as well as some oversized prints.
You realized you got hammered down for your political beliefs on Christmas, didn't you?
I didn't buy the book, my parents are just ultra-conservative. I can't believe I received a negative rating because of a present I received. Definatley some real assholes reading this site.
MacPro featuring:
Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeons with 8GB RAM
3) 750 GB hard drives
ATI Radeon X1900
30" Apple Cinema Display (and I currently have one of the same)
2) 16x SuperDrives
Gratz, enjoy!
Neat! I also got a Sony Vaio with very similar configurations.
Merry Xmas!
This man has two 30" Cinema Displays. He is my god.
I AM SOO JEALOUS
isn't there some special internet for people like you?
you shouldn't be allowed on the same internet as me and my PowerMac Daul 1 ghz G4 with 1.5 GB ram and 17" dell flat panel.
Uh Oh! New Mac Pro comming at Macworld 2008 (2nd week of January) Better return that Mac before it becomes obsolete!
that config comes to $9,639.00 at Apple.com I kinda doubt you really did, but if you did congratz i am so jealous. if this is tru...what kind of apps are you running that reqwire this horsepower?
matt,
Actually, I am a developer, so I get the Apple Developer Connection discounts... I will use it to play doom (*rolls eyes*)
16GB iPod touch is all, i love the thing though and have been wandering around using WiFi on it rather than my bulky motion LE1700 tablet. Nothing like watching Top Gear and checking your email on an iPod Touch in the comfort of your couch to celebrate christmas.
and what the heck are those kids doing in the picture? Rocking out on their air guitars?
they're practicing cheer leading
It's the N64 Kid Christmas video. It's hilarious, look it up on YouTube.
Click Continue reading on the post Ryan has embedded it.
I got my GC
Just add another, and duct tape, and you'll be the coolest kid on the block.
iMac with vista and leopard, Q9c, clothes, POTC 2 and 3, and Eternity for men
I've got 1/3rd of my used car (98 altima) paid for, only it broke yesterday (after I've driven 5 miles on it)
I got a Zune and a new TV (My old TV manufactured April 1992)
Got a Zune also.
A Zune 80! :)
I'm still waiting for the Zune to come to the UK. I don't want one that badly, but it will offset an IPod sale, so might as well.
I live in Canada. I got my Zune 80 Sealed in the box from ebay.
Oh, also got one of these http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/phillips-ajl308-clock-radio-digital-photo-frame-is-like-a-rea/
Geez my family hasn't even woken up yet! But surveying my gifts, I do NOT see anything that looks like Super Mario Galaxy... :(
Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, Sony PictureStation photo printer, Air Hogs remote control helicopter, digital picture frame, Harry Potter 1-5 Special Edition DVDs with a nifty case, two board games, a bunch of movies, a snow globe, a fart machine key chain, candy, some books, and more stuff at Grandma's house (likely clothes and money).
Merry Christmas everybody!
I got a Canon Pixma MX310, and a Sony Bravia 46'' HDTV
lets see, a hd dvd player for my 360, and 340 euros for my trip.
MacBook 2.0GHz Core2Duo... I've been stuck with Panther for a few years on my Mac Mini... I LOVE Leopard!! :D
Hey, I like Panther! I'm running it on my iBook and I like it a lot more than Leopard (both in terms of appearance and usablility).
Yeah. However, the only problems were that I can't sync my iPhone with Panther, and I couldn't use a bunch of the software available on Apple's website. I suppose using Tiger would be enough, but I might as well use Leopard. =P
Plus, Panther doesn't run on Intel.
I got an iTunes gift certificate, iPhone cases, and a Nike dry fit baseball shirt. Merry Christmas to all!
Sennheiser HD555's
and
Tons of $$$!
Thinkpad X61T, I just wrote this with a pen!
Badass.
LG Voyager! And a Phillips shaver!
I got muffin. family doesn't believe in giving gifts (we aren't really Christian either, yet we have the tree etc)
We *are* Christian and decided to give gifts on New Year's instead of Christmas. I tell you, Christmas day with a 3-year-old, 2-year-old, and three-month-old baby, and no gifts to fight over, makes for a very relaxing day!
i'll bet it does. I should add though, that we're dutch and so while we don't get presents at christmas, we do some pretty extravagant secret-santa-style things for Sinterklaas, on dec. 5.
I got a rock... =[
