My parents haven't switched to Blu Ray yet either. Maybe this year they'll get one if they become a bit less expensive.

Yeah, my dad still has a wired mouse/keyboard, which is very annoying when I have to use his comp.

... I don't see how having a wired mouse/keyboard is outdated and warrants the use of "still".

Is this some kind of sick joke? Wires on a mouse are the devil in carnate ...

I don't think wireless mouses, and especially keyboards, are widespread enough yet.

About mouse and keyboard: Personally, I prefer wired, since I never have to worry about charge in my peripherals. Plus, they are ass cheap.

OT: Why don't you buy them the Bluray player? Probably, that's what they are waiting for. They want a gift from their son.

My parents don't really care. They spend a lot more money on other stuff and they are happy with their films collection - which is barely expanding nowadays since it ends somewhere in 1990.
