    Come on then, what did you get?

    Come on, I just KNOW you're all gagging to be bragging!

    What did you get, gaming-wise for Chrimbo?

    Did you manage to get that elusive Xbox 360 or did an understanding, forward thinking relative get one for you?

    Did you finally succumb to the fearsomely awesome power of the DS and Nintendogs? (Trust me, it really is frighteningly addictive!)

    Did you get a PSP and loads of UMDs and cool games?

    Are you now thinking of upgrading your PC to cope witht he demands of Call Of Duty 2... or did you get an upgrade to make your gaming smoother?

    Or were you unlucky enough to have a great Aunt by you Heroes of Might and Magic 4, an obvious bargain-bin choice... or perhaps the game you thought would be Christmas cracker has turned out to be a cold turkey...

    Let's hear it!

    Football Manager 2006. Spent a large chunk of yesterday playing it, bloody addictive even if it is just Teletext with antialiasing. I absolutely love being able to play a none-free/shareware game smoothly on my PowerBook, too

    I got a PSP as an early Xchrimbo pressy from my Dad when he was in the country at the beginning of the month and ended up getting GTA: LCS as another early present off my missus a week later. Then I gave myself a present of SOCOM Fireteam Beta and Virtua Tennis World Tour =)

    Finally I got GUN on the Xbox from my uncle. Good game actually, quite surprised by it.

    I spent up on the kids, they had a 360 Premium (managed to bag one saturday morning, right place right time), and our eldest had a PSP for his birthday on wednesday (youngest already has one). Youngest had Tony Hawks American Wasteland for Xbox and eldest had FIFA 06 for their PC.

    i didnt get any big games related pressies - other more important stuff was needed this year however my brother got me nfsmw for pc - which is pretty cool - i got a medusa 5.1 headset just before christmas which is excellent for gammiong and that was about it as far as gaming equipment goes.
    my brothers wife got him a PSP which i have to say looked very nice didnt get a change to hook it up to the network though as he was to busy with SSX.
