Yes!!! We win! :D
As for the kids, yeah I agree. I thought I was spoiled as a kid (and still am), but some of the things I see other kids getting these days, especially people my age still getting loads of expensive stuff. I have to buy my own big Christmas presents now (ie the Playstation 3 I got myself).
Did the PS3 come with the only game made for it? Talladega Nights? :hick:
Hm? I'm not sure what you mean. If you're talkin about movies, then it actually came packaged with Spiderman 3 on Blu Ray. As for the selection of Blu Ray movies, I went to Best Buy last week and there is quite a large selection of movies for that format, and from what I hear, it's getting more support than HD DVD. I chose PS3 mainly because A) Gears of War went to PC...so there went the main reason for a 360 B) Gran Turismo 5 (which will be arriving at my house any day now! Well, the Prologue version anyway) and C) other exclusives such as Resistance Fall of Man (which I have...and is awesome...pwns Halo in every way), Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Killzone 2, and Motorstorm, among others. And earlier today, I was browsing this forum on my PS3's internet browser :D . I really need a cheap USB keyboard for it though.
I got my child support rasied......more than half my pay check. They goofed on my pay thinking I made more. Now I live with my parents again sleeping on an Army cot. Yeah, merry frack'n Christmas.
I got a digital tire gauge from my gf's family that lasted two cars. Oh well, i ripped the 3 button cell and 1 coin cell batteries out of it and chucked it.
I got a rock (same as last year)

Oh and I gave Roger a cool game system.... it's an Atari 2600! lol
