There's really nothing I want, unless I hold out on buying a new ipod (120gb classic), though some cash for a clothe shop would be nice, still need more t-shirts that aren't black...
If I had to think about it I'd also change the 6" speakers in the front of my car as they give too much treble, hurts my ears at too high volume, or I could just keep them, tone them down and put some 6x9 in my back shelf although a 12" sub kinda defeats the purpose....
Probably just need to get it professionally tuned but I can't be bothered.
So overall, I have something I'm going to buy myself anyway, clothes, and something that could be fixed with half a afternoon and a passenger.
Honestly, I have all the things I need/want...

What else would I ask for? New skateboard ****? No need, I get my wheels free, and my decks, and my trucks and bearings are half off at West.
More clothes? No point. I actually need to get rid of some of my clothes. Too many.
Might as well just ask for games, and books. And those headphones.

I feel like little mary loo-hoo from the Grinch. I can't get into the Christmas spirit! People at my school are being so mean to this one group of kids for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they're "weird" by social definition. I wish I could do something about it, but I don't have that kind of influence.
I guess that's one thing, above anything else, that I want for Christmas: for people who are different to at least be treated like human beings.

All preferences. Mouse and keyboard I find to be much more precise for a lot of things except 3rd person action games and platformers, plus computer monitors can actually fit more things onto a screen due to smaller HUDs.

Fix'd. Almost every monitor nowadays can match or beat 720p (and any self-respecting gamer has a screen that supports at least 1280x1024). Most monitors are about as good as 1080p aswell. Plus, screens that are physically smaller means smaller pixels, which means fewer jaged edges.
Short: Monitors>>>>TV's for gaming.
I decided to just get some upgrades for my computer. New processor, more (and faster) RAM, another hard drive, a better heatsink, and some much needed headphones. That's what I'm putting on my christmas list. Looking on Ebay to find a replacement for my Creative ZEN which I just recently killed. I got an amazing deal last time, so Ebay must be good for something after all.

Dot pitch isn't the only factor, which is why no one plays on a screen that small.
Jagged edges are annoying, and anti-aliasing only goes so far. Besides, there's a noticeable difference between 1920x1080 and 2560x1600, and likewise, there's a noticeable difference in pixel densities. Smaller pixels means a clearer picture.
And most people who game on PC's care about this stuff to some extent.

Anyway, I still prefer the freedom of a TV setup to that of a computer, for two reasons. One, you're not restricted to sitting at a chair with your hands glued to the table, and two, you can actually use the computer itself while you're playing the game.
#71
Posted 28 November 2008 - 05:49 AM
If you've got at least a 26" screen, you probably shouldn't have your face plastered to it.
And if you didn't already realise it, you can connect wired 360 controllers to a PC. That, or you can just get a good wireless controller from Logitech or something.
And if you know what you're doing, a PC can be ten times more versatile and free than a TV.
Though TV's are definately easier to work with, and are usually less of a headache.

I was hoping to get a Core 2 E8400 with a larger cache and faster FSB, but I'm confident that I can overclock the E5200 to a fairly decent speed. 4GHz at least. I also wanted to get a new pair of headphones, a better heatsink, and a 16GB flash drive, but that pushed the budget too high.
Probably would have asked for a 360 had known that Dell was selling Premium 60GB systems for $254 (or so I've heard. said $299 on their website just know, but there was probably a rebate. wtf amirite?).
#79
Posted 30 November 2008 - 12:51 AM
The Wolfdale's usually top out at 4.8 GHz from what I've seen.
Regardless, even at stock speed the E5200 will mop the floor with my overclocked P4 631.
