You r all so lucky, all i got for X-mas was a shirt
Money isn't easy to come by with here
But anyway, i'm glad most of you guys got what you wanted

If Santa Julio ships me one of those fancy new vid cards, I'll mail you a screenshot, okay?

Mind if I tag along? I can be bothered to remember anyawys :rolleyes: Also I was wrong when I said nothing PC related, I got Zalaman headphones which are the best ever. Everyone of you should go buy them, if are $50, sound incredible and support sourround sound.

Anybody's invited and make yourself known....you may have to holler out as I don't always see the text. But I'm "normally" on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

I saw one of your posts on the headphones. They really that good?

Hey thanks man, I'll see if I can find you tomorrow night, Tue. I can guarantee, I'm not any good at this stage of this game.

Oh, forgot, I got Delta Force: Black Hawk Down also. Haven't really started it yet, just enough to see what it's like. I think I'll stick with Battlefield 1942.

Craftsman 3 piece tool bench, Gamecube, ssx3, mario sunshine, animal crossing, metroid, Zelda 4 game disk, wavebird, memmory stick and some good dvd's

ouch is it the import /export taxes (on US made products) that boost the cost so high? when I was in Europe prices seemed pretty much the same after you figured the exchange rates. Course I wasn't shopping for electronics.

Hope the jobs pay more, than they do here at least, otherwise you are bumming.

It's taxes mostly yes... We've got a totally different social system than you have (free medical care for one), which costs more...

But we've also got quite high salaries....
A person without an education but with a full time job usually has 25 000$ as minimum wage...

With a "normal" education it ranges from 35 - 50 000$...

So even though the prices are high, it's not "out of sync" with the salaries...

i got some video games for my PS2.

Mr Garibaldi, it must be nice to live in Norway (at least from what i heard). minimum wage in the US puts a person somewhere around the poverty line (i think it is around $13,000). medical care is super expensive here too. if you are rich in the US, it is good. if you are poor, then it is tough.

Yes, it is quite nice as a matter of fact

We are one of the richest countries in the world...

But that's only for as long as our oil reserves lasts... After that, it's anyones guess...

Well, that or 2050 when each working norwegian will have to support one pensionist each, and the oil money won't be able to help....

But this is going way OT, so I'll stop talking about it here...

A bit back on topic, I just used my Denver CD/mp3 player, and it works like a charm...

The ability to burn 650mb of mp3's to a cd, and listen to it on the move is just great
(And it works much better than my old Creative JukeBox!)

Bit late replying now, though, yes it was the edition with all the stories in it, & a bonus one. Not started on it yet though really (Bar an introduction which was pretty funny), still have to finish "The Age of Spiritual Machines" first.

I got a 512 mb of samsung GiEL pc3200 ram, a new sony dolby digital 5.1 surround sound system, $100 Best Buy card, movies, from the wife, and my little 5 year old boy got me a very cool bmw PC case with a 400w antec power supply. Everyone else got me clothes except for my brother who got me a dvd player for the bedroom. I haven't had a christmas like this since I was 7. I'm 27 BTW. I think I was due!
