You know Christmas isn't the same as it used to be...

[joebloggs]

now it is about games consoles, games,

it's been the best xmas for many years for us

me and the misses bought our 9yr old gal a Wii, it doesn't have the power of the x box360 or ps3, but it makes up for that with the playability. all 3 of us being able to play at the same time, what's worrying is seeing how good my misses is at boxing

my wife doesnt need a wii to beat me at boxing

i got some socks too this year,xmas isnt much fun when you get older and considering i can buy most stuff myself,im thinking why wait until xmas.

no my wife doesn't need a wii to learn to box, she learnt that from her dad , but it means she can get back in to shape

2 birds with one stone, the misses will be happy you bought her a wii fit, in a week or so she will give up and you'll have it all to yourself to play footy and she will not say anything to you, caz if she does, ask her to start using the wii fit again

The scary thing is that the socks were my favorite gift by far! As they were nice and thick, just what I needed for this weather

As for a PS3, decided that some point in the new year I am getting one.... Again

yes but there are not many games for a 9yr old gal for the ps3 , i haven't played a video game since finishing resident evil 3 on the ps1

thou i am tempted to get a ps3 from work depending on the price

but it will have to wait til the misses gets a full time job, ps5 might be out by then

You sound like the perfect candidate to suffer the addictiveness of online gaming! Trust me, getting you mates together in the same game is on a par with having a few jars down the pub.. As it gives you something to talk about when you next meet in the pub!

One of my friends goes home from work, stays up all night to play the latest war game he is on. His boss books time of work on holiday for when a new game is coming out

your about as far away from the truth as you could be
i use to program video games in the early-mid 80's , all i did was play and program them for many years, and one day i just stopped

i've just been playing on the wii, it's not the same thou, but its a good laugh getting beat at tennis by my misses and my 9yr old gal

my stepson was here 4yrs ago for 18months looking after little joe, he played an online game for like 12hrs+ a day teaming up with people in europe and the phils (depending on what time of day it was), he sold his on-line character for near £500 b4 he went back to the phils , i can't remember the game, but he had the highest score on their European server
