Forums - Gaming Discussion - Help me spending 500€!

Hey guys,

my 24th birthday is in 3 weeks and so far I have NOTHING that I really want to get. Okay, my grilfirend might get me this navigation system but that's it.

So my parents asked what they should buy for me and I really didn't know. I was thinking about a 2nd Xbox360 (The Forza Motorsports bundle with a 250GB HDD) but I am not sure.

Of course it should be something related to gaming or technology in general. I only own the Xbox360 and I am not interested in any other console. Not because I don't like them, just because I wouldn't have the time to play them. I do have like 4 games to play before I am up to date with the Xbox360.

Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 are already pre-ordered.

I do have a pretty good cellphone as well, the Samsung Omnia i9000 and I do have a notebook for my work.

So tell me about your gadgets and recommend me some nice stuff please!

 

THANKS!

Expensive football boots always make me feel cool.
Maybe Borderlands? I dunno, i'd probably save it



A Blu-Ray player?



PS3 Slim+MGS4+Uncharted 2?

Some lingerie for your girl?

Hows your TV? Maybe you need an upgrade?

Go on a vacation?

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Blueray player/PS3?

 

5.1 Surround Sound?

Or the 250 gig HDD 360.

Wow some people need to work on there reading comprehension. What you could do is cancel your pre-order of Modern Warfare 2 and ask for that bundle. That Xbox looks so nice



BluRay is not that appealing to me. I don't buy much DVDs, because 10€ for a movie is too much for 2 hours of entertainment if you ask me. BluRay would be 15-20€ and the better picture is fine, but not for 10€ / hour. I don't watch a movie more than once normally, that is why I am totally in love with VoD. 2-3€ / movie in a decent quality or 4- 5 € for a movie in HD is fine for me.

 

The PS3 with Uncharted 2 is great for sure. The game looks very appealing and I can totally understand that some PS3 owners are very hyped for this, but that would probably the only game I would get in the coming months, because all my friends are on Xbox Live and I do not have the time for a 2nd console. My neighbour has a PS3 though. I will tell him to get the game, so I can play it over there. I am so cheap.

My TV is my baby. Samsung LE46A759R. Just noticed it has a different name in the US, but it should be this one http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/lcd-tv/LN46B750U1FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail

and for my bedroom I have a 40" LCD TV.

Lingerie for my girlfriend... Well I once told her what I like and the result was... interesting. I remember "I do not want to look like a bitch" and "I can't believe you are 'such a guy'". Never again.

I do have a 5.1 soundsystem.

A Kindle.



Have you considered a handheld? DSi or PSP-3000/PSP-Go? You never know you might wanna game on the go.

Depending on your taste of games, I'd consider the PSP-Go since you dont own any UMD (and from reviews of others those that enjoy the Go the most are those with no UMD games), and its a great portable multimedia device. ^__^
