    Consider the PS3 TV , only 1080p but 3D and 24inch.
    If you can find one in Smyths they are only 150 euro.

    Wait, what? Only €150, really?

    Your not really actually giving your son a Playstation 4, a 3DS and a PS Vita plus numerous game are you? Jesus I would have gotten one of those things in your picture when I was a kid.

    No, but his wife may think this...

    "You spent how much!!!"
    "But it's for little Timmy."
    "Oh, ok then I suppose."

    I notice you bought Zelda: A link between worlds seperately as well as the DLC code in the 3DS XL bundle.

    Yeah I sold off the download code, so the physical version cost me little or nothing. Much prefer collecting physical games, especially when it's Zelda related.

    The PS4 is the main present, the 3DS XL I got because I sold off some arcade cabs that were going unused, & the Vita I got when extra vision were doing them for €150, & that was funded by selling off a Jtagged Xbox 360 which was going unused. The NSMB U is courtesy of an honoured HMV voucher, Rayman Legends courtesy of an Amazon Lightning Deal for Black friday...so while it looks like a lot, I shopped smartly & just reinvested money from sold off stuff.

    I suppose I could do what society accepts & spend a fortune on drink & cigarettes. I think my way is more fun though :)

    Voice of experience? :)

    There's not actually a huge amount of stuff out now or soon that appeals to me. I've been meaning to pick up Sir, You Are Being Hunted, and I'll have to get my hands on the XCom expansion, but no other big names are making me excited that aren't Kickstarters due out some time next year.

    Well, my mother didn't know what to get me....so I just said a 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7. I'm well into my 30's. I don't care. :D

    Can't wait to download all the old school NES/SNES game and complete them....again!

    Girlfriend probably won't buy me that PS4 though!

    I have Super Mario 3D World on the way but my son has Twilight Princess, Wind Waker HD and Disney Infinity on the way, all to be played on the WiiU, so I might have to play Mario when he finally goes to bed.

    But the PS4 wont benefit from 2560x1440 :confused:

    The resolution only goes to 1080p and the PS4 wont upscale to 144o....so?
    Unless you want it as a PC gaming monitor?

    The asus mx desino is AH IPS and 1080p, excellent 3w speakers....33o euro :)

    Getting The Last of Us, Hifiman RE-400s(IEMS) and LoTR book collection.


    Tried to cash in on the 3DS and a few games but was told by the mother "I'm far too old for something like that" :(

    It's for PC gaming, yep. I don't have a PS4 and don't plan on getting one for quite a while. Too many PC games to play!

    Same boat as Sephiroth_dude, too many in our family so only kids get presents and being single means i ain't getting anything. Come on Steam Sale so i can buy something i'll probably never play!

    Oh, sorry, i forgot, secret santa at work and i got emergency undies and a willy warmer...

    You cant earn all Money in the world. All bills payed off and I need some Love for myself this Xmas. Not directly gaming wise, but I wanted it for ages. I just put an order for that.

    My xmas started early as I couldnt be bothered re wrapping my Wii U.

    I only opened it to do the hour long update. :rolleyes:

    Got it with Rayman Legends, Lego City Undercover, Nintendo Land and Batman Arkam Origins.

    So far played Rayman mostly and loving it. Really is a fantastic platformer.

    Played a bit of Lego City - its good but the framerate is poor unfortunately and the loading, dear god the loading.

    Havent even opened the other two yet but will probably have opened them prior to xmas.

    One that will definately be under the tree is Tearaway for the Vita that my wife has kindly bought for me.

    oh oh and nearly forgot.. Mario 3D World is on its way from Zavvi. In fairness I doubt that'll make under the tree either as the missus is really looking forward to it.
    If I was to ask Santa for one thing its what a few others have said and thats time to play all these wonderful games.

    Seriously the backlog is ridiculous at this stage. Glad I sold my old PSP to fund the Vita. Need clear out the unused for things that I will use.

    So far the Vita and Wii U have been great as you dont need the TV, unlike my very underused 360.

    Ordered myself a Vita with Tearaway, and have a few months PS+ games to play on it too. Hoping my incredibly unsubtle hints about the new Zelda that I've been dropping for months have been heard too!

    I've been debating picking myself up this: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52.html (Saitek x52 Pro Joystick + Throttle)

    The issue is stopping there and not getting TrackIR and Rudder Pedals. :/

    That looks like it'd be unreaaaal for War Thunder!


    Question for lads that'd have the Vita and a 3DS, which would you prefer? Gonna pick up a handheld shortly after Christmas, but cant decide which now!
