Yeah. Most of my money came from various extended relatives and such, and the second xbox was paid for entirely by my mother's boyfriend.
Guess it's a bonus when you have family
in the mafia owning various bits of property/restaurants/real estate.

Nice to see the recession has not affected the middle classes at all despite all that whining.

Why did you get a PS3 if you already had an Xbox?

Presumably for the exclusives, although there aren't all that many these days.

I'm thinking about buying a PS3 with my Christmas money for exclusives. Especially Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia, and other JRPGs. Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and other series are just bonuses.

Not sure if it is a good thing that I considered the Secret Santa gift to be better than the gift I got IRL.
Hmmm

Damn you, I thought I was the only one who received such commodities this year.
I got a new watch (old one was busted like eight months ago), some cash, clothes, y'know the usual, and a regulation-grade poker set to facilitate a growing gambling "hobby." Onwards to riches, bitches, and cash money.
