I have no clue what I want. I'm happy with what I have. I already got an Xbox 360, a bad ass truck with everything I want (got different friends to do different things for it for free, sadly I'm grounded from it for two more weeks), I got CoD 4 a few days ago, got a normal computer I don't care about upgrading it because I play no computer games what so ever and don't plan on it, and I got my a iPod Nano.

I'm thinking about getting GHIII but the whole idea of playing a guitar with buttons on it feels strange but my parents wouldn't get me a real guitar because of the noise. If I don't get GHIII then I'll just get Assassin's Creed, I might just rent it because it has no multiplayer from what I've read.

I'll probably just get some money and just use that for my car insurance, maybe pay my parents back for paying my two speeding tickets which resulted in me getting grounded from my truck.

I just want to have a good day, get something nice for my girlfriend, and hang out with her and/or the family. My older brother will probably be coming down and that should be awesome even though he can be an asshole.

#1 the cars are ugly, #2 I see absolutely no reason why someone should have to spend a million (or even half a million) on a car. I bet I could go out and get a car that's less than $50,000 (or less) and it'd be basically the same and look a lot better. If you're that rich, I can think of many more beneficial things to invest your money in. But this isn't the rant thread, so i'll stop.

Fastest in the world? Sure, maybe, but when you think about it, it's probably like 5 mph faster than the 2nd fastest. An insignificant difference and you'll pay extreme amounts for that worthless difference.

Its a good 20 over the competition at that price range and lower, it has a 1001 hp engine that is two V8's fused side by side with two connection drive shafts. The car itself is very small and low, and has a excellent turning at high speeds. I for one think its foolish to get a car that you can only use in very few places and go near its top speed.

My list

1.New computer (already received)
2.Assassins Creed
3.Money

Well, I talked my mom into letting me borrow $20.00 so that I could buy Battlefield 2 : Modern Combat.

It's still a great game, just no one plays it anymore.

Anyways, that's off of my list. Anyone else got anything early? Also, if you haven't replied yet, that would be nice.

I need some ideas for some games.

It's been more than 5 days.

I'm now officially getting a laptop with :
Processor : 2.0ghz Dual-Core (intel)
RAM : 2GB
OS : Windows XP Pro
gfx : 256mb ATI
sound : HD Sound Blaster Pro

----
Also, I'm getting a new capture card. The "ATI TV Wonder Pro".
So, I'm selling my old capture card. It's the "Dazzle DVC 90". If you want it, PM me. We'll work out a price.
----

I'm getting "Mass Effect" and another game that I'm not sure what it is.
I'm getting the Xbox 360 Elite / Halo 3. (Not sure which one.)

----------
I'm interested. What is the rest of the Halomods' Community getting?

All I want is an 80GB Zune, and a wall and car charger for it. That's it. My mom said 300$ would be a stretch (we're middle class and kind of doing not as well as we should be financially), and I was like, go home. Well, that's really all I wanted besides a $1000+ laptop, which I'd never get anyway, so as long as I get a Zune and some clothes, I'm not complaining.
