Lucky guy, would have to assume your gf's mom thinks highly of you to get a spanking brand new PS3 for you. It is also a high-spec Blu-Ray player as well. Most of Sony's dedicated stand-alone Blu-Ray players don't have some of the more robust functionality that the PS3's built-in BR player has such as:

*Slow motion playback

*Scan playback option

*Frame-by-frame playback option (perfect for frame-by-frame analysis in both forward & reverse playback sessions)...SCEI should've included a jog shuttle wheel on the PS3 BR remote for better frame-by-frame versatility.

*Variable speed playback (up to 4x faster than normal playing speed and up to 2x speed in reverse playback mode) with the PS3 Six-Axis or Dual Shock 3 controller's right analog stick -- even if 2x playing speed above normal playback speed is implemented, you can still hear audio as well.

Of course, it's recommended to pick up an optional PS3 Blu-Ray remote to take advantage of the extra functionality features listed above...is only $19.99 USD nowdays. The Blu-Ray movies sure look gorgeous & razor sharp on a 1080p HDTV setup with a PS3.

Haha, yes she does think highly of me. My girlfriend is also more like my fiancee( did I spell that right?)

I never really get anything nice so she wanted to make this x-mas special for me.
So far I'm really impressed with the ps3.. I got soo lucky too, it was the last one at the store and I ended up getting the 250 gig version, all I can say is I'm a very happy man. I hope everyone else can be as lucky as me.

I got a ton of work and gym clothes. I also got a ton of candy which I'm going to be giving away to my friends ASAP because I'm fat enough already.

I got an HRAP EX-SE, Futari, a PS3, and Demon's Souls over the last month and a half for myself. =D

I got a Japanese SMS with controllers, an AV cable, and a bunch of loose games (Hokuto no Ken, Opa Opa, Enduro Racer, Phantasy Star, Outrun, Ashura, Final Bubble Bobble, Hang On (card), and The Circuit for Mark III/SMS and Zaxxon, Sindbad Mystery, Star Jacker, Orguss, Monaco GP, Champion Golf, Star Force, Exerion, and Safari Hunting for SG-1000), Pac-Man Collection for Colecovision (homebrew), Jr. Pac-Man for Atari 7800 (homebrew), Thrust+ Platinum for Atari 2600 (homebrew), Spy Hunter for Colecovision, a super action controller for Colecovision, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Wonder Boy in Monster Land for SMS (US), Night Court season 2 (DVD), a Hori case for my DS games, some popcorn, popcorn seasoning, some hot sauces, a gift certificate for Gamestop (so now I have to go there. I have done most my shopping elsewhere lately) and some Apricot Ale.

I didn't get the Tototek adapter to play US games on a JP SMS yet, though. I should be getting it soon, but my dad forgot to bring it up.

I was a bit surprised at the weight of the JP SMS. I expected it to be heavier with all the extra stuff it has, but it's actually a bit lighter than the US system. I was surprised to see that the power adapter that came with it is a Hori brand that looks just like one of the SEGA models (different voltage, so I'm not going to chance using the JP adapter with the US system or vice versa).

I need better friends/family.

I got some Mega Man Pixel Art made from perler beads, that are also fridge magnets, from my friend's gf.

Freaking sweet.

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:39 pm

Lottery ticket and cashew nuts.

Our family just doesn't bother any more. The only reason why I got that stuff was because of the obligation people feel to unnecessarily give people trivial garbage yearly. And I would have gotten the cashew nuts regardless.

I did give my mother Maru's book. Then she asked me if I was only giving it to her because I didn't have anything to give her for Christmas (despite the fact that I send her videos of Maru all the time).

Fucking hell.

3 shirts from my family. I hate getting clothes on Christmas because that's when people should give you special stuff (I got them useful stuff, like Blu-Ray players and a Wii.). A coworker got me a pressure cooker, which I really, really needed.

However, I got myself a working PS3, a 5.1 speaker mini-home theater system and a micro computer case.
