Just bought this from iTunes, the latest album by a local folk band called The Beards. They sing songs about beards.

6ft HDMI cable

All for $15 after shipping, and the guy at Radio Shack told me their $120 gold-plated Monster HDMI Cable was the best deal anywhere.

Those I would need too! Already have an HDMI for the PS3 but would be nice with another one for the laptop. And on that Cat5 cable, something tells me using a cable would make the connection much better compared to the wire less **** I'm on now...

I plan to test if I see a noticeable difference on the PS3 over wireless. But this is for my 360.

Me and a friend got a good laugh out of the HDMI section at out local Wal-Mart. Premium gold-plated and braided cables being sold alongside stuff that is so cheap it was in packaging that wasn't even blister-packed. Someone is making hella money off of outdated conceptions, that is for sure.

Also, picked this up, being the first console F1 game I've bought since Formula 1 '98:

Don't really like it that much. In fact, I think the PSP version is a superior game (though perhaps just because I went through the trouble of importing it), and Grand Prix Challenge from a few years prior was more fun.
 
For my wife for Christmas. We aren't supposed to be doing anything for Christmas so that we can focus on baby stuff, but I have been bit by that one before. She wants a point and shoot camera since mine is apparently insanely complicated.

Nikon L20

Dude, if you still have time, swap that for a Canon SD1200IS (or 780IS), or any of the Panasonic Lumix cameras.

And 5 Bottles of my favourite wine, Antares and I don't believe it! They make it in white too!

Quick heads up. Proposing in a PM probably won't end well so hopefully he's not a member here.

And congrats! :cheers:
Maybe he is proposing to me :D and I might just accept if I was getting that ring ;)
 
Did I miss a memo?

;)
Haha, glad I'm not the first to point that out...

As for me:

Thanks to a special person giving me a Best Buy gift card, I can add this to the MGS Essential Collection I just got off Amazon.

And my DSL gateway has been having issues lately, so to resolve this and keep Verizon's outsourced customer service out of the picture:

Used, relatively cheap (they go for $60+, somehow), and basic. Just a single LAN port.

And to wrap up the new network, a Linksys WRT54GL from Newegg:

Two of these:

Also gave her this book for Christmas:

And we bought a new stereo and speakers for the car:

Bought these mirrors as an Xmas present to myself for the Shelby. I gotta get rid of those F-150 mirrors that come stock.

Old mirrors for comparison:
 
Not my purchase, but an 18yr-old friend of mine just recieved her major Christmas present for 2009: A 2009 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead. Lucky.
 
Forgot to say I also bought this on Steam:

U$ 2.50, pretty fun tower defense game. They're doing the holiday sale now and there's a lot of good deals there. I'll probably pick up DiRT2 today.
 
One of my friends popped the question to his girlfriend yesterday morning!

I've done some buying on Play tonight.

Muse-Resistance
WSC 09 (I'm back in to snooker now, and fancy a snooker game, PS3, £11.99, can't complain)
RHCP T-Shirt
PS3 Sony headset. Fed up with my cheap one being a bag of faecal matter and not being able to clearly hear anyone.
