$159.99 for a used PSP, according to the ad I'm looking at. It might just be a day-after-christmas specail though.

We're poor this year haha cause I had a transplant surgery in November, so I just got 4 gamecube games;

LOZ: Four Swords
Rampage Total Destruction
Mario Kart Double Dash
Mega Man X Collection

I also bought myself Ikaruga for GC while shopping for xbox 360 stuff for my brother-in-law. I can't play any of these games yet lol as the 'cube from G2 is still in the mail. (if it doesn't come by wednesday sam, expect a holiday lynching :P)

edit: ooh I also got an LCD Deal or No Deal game from my grandma haha; it was too small and hard to see for her. It's amazing in its simplicity.

Well when I got around to opening them, didn't until about 7pm. Yes I know how could we not open gifts in the morning, well I'm the only of three who still lives at home and the other brother didn't feel to feverish about opening when he came over.

Winchester 6 piece tool set (2 pocket multi-tools, a key-chain pocket knife, clip with knife/file, and a basic 3" knife)
Fleece blanket
Jeep compus and stopwatch (this thing is heavy!!!)
Light bar (with LEDs)
a 2.5" HDD encloser w/ 7in-1 card reader
40 CD/DVD wallet
50 spinal DVD-R 16x (compusa)
Heros of Might and Magic IV

Like I said earlier on page one, didn't expect to get much. However what I did get is fairly useful. I even made the semi-joke that all I need is a bow or rifle and I can go hunting, now that I have a compus and a knife I can use for gutting/skinning (possibly).

I finally aqquired an atari 2600 woody system.
Now my idiotic gimmick of selling it as a portable for a price far out the ass can come true!
I also got a dremmel tool (really high quality and expensive)
Some schematic and electrical engineering w/game system hacking textbooks(Yeah, doesn't sound like fun but I like it-IM A CHILD PRODIGY)
Super C for the NES
A spanish coin found at a sunken ship off the coast of europe
Destroy all humans for the PS2 (I don't like the PS2 that much anymore-haven't played it in a couple years and I'm into retro systems more)
A case for GBASP
some pens and batteries(I got them in my stocking along with other useful stuff)
Bully for PS2 (again I didn't want it)
A garry larson book
A DS aluminum case (I was just going to gut it and use it for my PS2 laptop project if you've heard about that-even though I am not very fond of the system, it was going to be for my mother who is a PS2 fan)
I gave more gifts than I recieved so I have been a good boy this year.

I just copied and pasted this from another forum.

EDIT:did I mention the radioshack gift card and hand sanitizer(i'm obsessive compulsive)
and a pair of slippers 'cause i've got bad circulation and my feet feel like death himself

EDIT EDIT: I'm in arizona right now so I actually posted this at 11:12pm
