What games did you get for Christmas? - Page 2

01-02-2004, 10:06 PM

After doing the math, all that came to $630, excluding tax and S&H costs. That averages $25.20 an item (I counted the Double Dash game and bonus disk as one item). But that money was spread out over many months.

I went to lots of sales. A local Wal-Mart was selling Metroid Prime for $20 instead of $30, I used five Best Buy Bucks from McDonald's french fries to get SFA for $15, that same Best Buy was practically giving away Ape Escape 2, and if I had waited a little longer I could have gotten Eternal Eyes for $5 instead of $10 >_<

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

But why would you wait until Christmas if you buy them with your own money? It's not a gift from anyone but yourself.

GBA: FFTA

GCN: War-Prince9 is gonna get me Viewtiful Joe and Soul Calibur II as late Christmas presents. And my sister is hopefully going to get me the Zelda collector's disc thing.

I got Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (and the Bonus Disc that was including in the case) and Banjo-Kazooie Grunty's Revenge. (You know, the new GBA game)

I have a credit card (which I am sensible with, and I understand how it works, so don't run away screaming) so I technically do the buying part, but not the paying part.

After I buy them, unless they're $5 from the used bin at Game Stop, I have to do something to earn the stuff, like get all A's, or wait until something like Christmas.

I don't have a job, but I'd love to have one if only I could find a place I'm willing to work at that wanted the help. I was about to apply for a job at the Game Stop across the street from my school, but then they went a pissed me off.

I got Mario Party 5 and Mario Kart Double Dash. My grandma is getting me 2 extra games for late Christmas presents, which is True Crime: Streets of L.A. and something else.
