The Holidays are coming, what do you want this season?

As gamers we're all clammering to save up the money for our favorite holiday game release. It seems Nov. thru Jan. are going to be hot months for upcoming releases.  XBox 360's Gears of War, Splinter Cell, NFS: Carbon, Viva Pinata, PC Gamers want WoW's Burning Crusades expansion in January, and of course the two upcoming 7th generation consoles: Wii and PS3.

So much money in new products... what products do you want? I'm hoping for the Wii, in all honesty, that's the product I'm actually thinking about each week. I don't know why, maybe because I've not been able to try it. The PS3 is kinda costly - but I'd probably consider one (if our company does well enough). However, given the knowledge that I won't see one for at least three months with all the delays and short supply I'm not holding my breath.

My disappointment right now, is the PC game selection. Neverwinter Nights 2, Supreme Commander, Burning Crusade, and a few others. Maybe I'm just out of the loop on upcoming PC hits. Thoughts?

Here are my plans: Buy a few games that I want (Lego Starwars DS for instance) and then ask Santa for what I cannot get with my own money :-)

Gears of War Rainbow Six: Las Vegas Splinter Cell: Double Agent Final Fantasy XII Okami Godhand And some 360 accessories: Wireless controller Headset all that good stuff. Im not much of a PC gamer...and thats because the selection is so slim nowadays. And its so expensive to stay ontop of the big titles. Need a new vid card every 6 months when someone decides to come up with new rendering stuff. All the Unreal 3 stuff coming out will kill my current card. And in order for me to truly update, I will have to go to SLI, which means not just a new vid card. But a new Motherboard, more RAM. Its just not worth it to me.

Gatsu, that is the fun of being a PC gamer. Bleeding edge technology before everyone else. Sure, it might cost you 500 bucks, but in the end you will be the most awesomeness of kick assers on the PC. ;-) CodeMonkey
