Well, Christmas is getting closer everyday!

Anyways, I was just wondering what everyone's Christmas list is. I'm interested in what the people here at halomods are waiting for!

Here's Mine (I'll probably update frequently) :
*Game Headphones / Mic ($45) - Click
*Hub ($66) - Click
*Xbox 360 S-Video Cables
*Mass Effect

GTAF Edit: Read this post.

$500? I have like... a $100 limit. For the last two christmas's I've gotten $100 and that's basically it, no gifts.

This year we're going on a vacation (that I don't really want to go on) to visit our relatives (that i've met less than 10 times in my life) because my grandparents are probably going to pass away soon and my mother doesn't want to have them die without visiting them first. Which means I probably wont be getting much for christmas.

However, if I did have a list, it'd probably be some games for PC or 360 if I get one.

I honestly can't think of anything this year. I'm getting my new car the first week of December, and they're paying for college...I have a job to pay for any things I've been wanting recently, so I really just have no ideas.

Meh...nothing so far, but I guess I'll edit things in as I think of them.

DrXThirst · Post by **DrXThirst** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:48 pm

Yeah, I can't seem to think of things either. Although, one thing I'm considering is the Xsata so that I can use Anthony's tool. Is there any other reasons why I might want to invest in that?

Also, did I mention that I am 14, Kirk?

EDIT : Usually, the younger you are, the more money you get ... right?

Er, i'm poor.

And that is somewhat true and somewhat false, generally speaking my little brother gets more than I do, mainly because he cares about it. I don't expect or care much about what I get. I'm not going to get all mad because I wasn't handed a thousand dollars for no real reason.

Money.
Another 360 headset. (Third time's the charm, right?)

Ugh. No.
I'm on my 6th.

I'm hoping the ones that I'm buying will last me. I'm going to use them for my xbox 1 and Halo 2 until Halo 2 is just completely dead. Then I guess I'll use them for Halo 3, but I have such a good surround sound going...

EDIT : Although, I guess I could just have the voices coming through the speakers...

I tried that, it's so awful. I had to have my TV turned way up, game's volume turned way down. =(

Gametag wants me to get a wired, despite two wired ones failing at the same point both times (One I can hear, can't talk - The other I can talk, but can't hear; Both problems are right at the base of the plastic controller connector piece), I figure I'll get a wireless one since I have the need for a new mic now. Hope it lasts longer.

I have a wireless headset and its worked really well. No problems so far.

I can't really think of anything but:

1. Guitar Port. My brother has it, this way I can make my guitar sound really kick ass and record whatever I want.

2. Assassin's Creed, maybe. Game looks pretty cool. I like the free running gameplay.

Maybe some clothes. I didn't get a birthday present from my parents so I'm not expecting much.

V0Lt4Ge · Post by **V0Lt4Ge** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 1:08 am

I usually get clothes and a gift card/money from my grandparents and money from my parents. I'm not really expecting anything other than that or asking for anything else.

Cuda · Post by **Cuda** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 1:34 am

Socks.
Clothes I'll never wear.(I keep telling them, If you can't find clothes you think I wear, just get me a pair of Dickies, Khaki/Dark Blue/Black Shorts/Pants/Jacket (in the size I wear at the time.)
and Possibly a gig stick of RAM if I can talk my dad into it. MAYBE. I seriously need to do an overhaul again. Everything but the Power supply needs to be replaced.

What I got:
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Processor
256 ATi 9550 AGP(Doesn't support 3.0s.)
512 RAM (Jesus christ, My sister's booter laptop has more fucking ram than I do, and all she does is use limewire, and Myspace on it.

)

What I need( and Highly doubt I'll get)

A new Cell Phone(won't lose it, I promise.)

Overhaul(preferably something that can AT LEAST run 2142/BF2 on Medium or higher)

CAI for my Mazda 3

Axela Set for my Mazda (only to make it Badass)

And Money. Enough to do something with. Seeing as how my parents plan to boot me out the second I turn 18.

Yum. I've replaced the front seats in my car with ones from a '94 Protege, so I lean towards liking Mazdas.

My mom said she'll buy me a hard drive that I've been wanting. Converting Scrubs DVDs takes a lot of space.

But we're going to buy it online on Black Friday, so hopefully it'll be cheaper than it is.

Argetlam · Post by **Argetlam** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 5:03 am

I am hoping I can get Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed. Can't really think of anything else. I always get gift cards for places so if I do think of something, I can just go get it (if its cheap

).

TheCookie · Post by **TheCookie** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 5:15 am

Im gonna get an Xbox 360, 2 GB's of RAM and a Radeon x1950 Graphics card. Also money to get Crysis.

That's alot of money O.o and I could use with 2 gigs... I only got 1

I'm hoping for 360- (most likely to get) and a new wake board.
That is a very expensive christmas for me than usual though... I might get laid off next Christmas now heh..

JunkfoodMan · Post by **JunkfoodMan** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 6:13 am

Why get a Radeon x1950 when you can get a better card for a bit more?

Anyway, my list -

1/2 My computer, and an Ibanez RG Copy.

I wont lie..Christmas is usually pretty good to me, but I have no idea of what I want other than Guitar Hero and a few other games. A car would be nice, but they wont until next year. Plus my mom says I gave her a list of what I wanted..which I didn't, so god only knows what I'll be getting. To be honest, I'm really satisfied with the things I own. It's not much other than my sound studio equipment, but it's all I really even need.

Oh, well the headphones I'm getting, I can plug into the TV and somehow still talk. O.o

So, I figured I could have everyone's voice coming through the speakers, which would actually be my headphones.

Oh, I thought you were talking about wired ones in the first place. I'm on my 6th wired (Microsoft Xbox 360 Brand) and I will never get a wireless again. My wireless was the biggest waste of 70 dollars I have ever spent. The day I got it, it wouldn't work right. I think you should go with a wired one, but invest some money into some good ones. Try the Alienware ones that I have on my Christmas list, they should last for a long time.
Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if those will fit into an xbox controller or the tv? Or are they the same size?

Off to check.
