What was your most memorable holiday gaming experience?

Mine was when N64 came out and no one could find any of them in stores for X-mas. I remember telling my Parents I understood that they would'nt be able to find one and not expecting anything. Then X-mas Eve came and my Grandma came over with a huge box and said I could open it that night instead of waiting till the next morning (wish I had opened it in the morning), when I opened it there it was N64 with Mario 64! I played it untill 12:00am when my parents forced me to go to sleep. Needless to say I slept worse then ever that x-mas.

Looking back Mario 64, Zelda ocarina of time, Smash Bros, Waverace, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and I am sure a few I missed were really awesome games!!! 64 did not have a lot of great games but the ones they did man did I play them for a looooonnnggg time!!

Christmas 92, Sega Genesis , Arcade Stick, and Nhl 93.....

i still remember opening the corner of the box and seeing the graph pattern on the black box ... knew right away what it was...

christmas i got n64 first big thing i'd ever gotten and i'd been asking for it for four yearsbut man i was so happy, it came with donkey kong 64 i played the crap out of that game its so freaking deep i wish they made another game like that, I also got super smash bros. wich was insanly fun and Golden eye the best shooter ever (maybe not), man that was a fun day.

This year i'm asking for COD 4, Assassins creed and the orange box for my ps3 for xmas (thoughts)

Getting PlayStation 2 the year it launched for Christmas. I didn't see it coming at all, it was in all honesty the only realy time I was actually shocked and suprised with something I got for Christmas. I really was stunned.

Plus I was the only kid in my whole school who got one so everyone was jealous :twisted:

The year that final fantasy x came out right before christmas. I was not expecting it at all after i head that it got delayed, btu my bro heard that it was gettgin released early and reserved me a copy. I played took my ps2 to my grandmas house and played ffx the whole time instead of spending time with my family.

Second would be getting socom 2, my first online game and i never expected that i would spend about 450 hours over the next 2 years playing it

Getting video games for Christmas have been some of my best childhood memories. I still remember when I got Yoshi's Island 2 for the SNES...

Hopefully this year I'll get UT3 :D

hmm.. it was either the first time i got a ps2 for christmas, or when i got halo 2 for christmas.

its probably gonna be this year. im getting so many games. mass effect(got it early), R&C, rock band, uncharted, guitar hero 3, crysis, playstation eye, and age of empires III: asian dynasties expansion.

The first time? Was there a second time you got a ps2 for christmas?

Also that seems like a lot of games to get for Christmas :shock:

Well, aboutsix years ago I used to live in Zambia, in Africa. For christmas I was going to get a thing called the gamestation two (this weird gaming machine that suckz). I really wanted a ps2, but in a place like that, you can't get it. When I woke up in the morning, I FIND A PS2 UNDER THE TREE. I was like WTH!!!!!!! My parents had it ordered it. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

luckily for me, I don't live there any more. Now in Japan,I can buy all the latest gaming stuff whenever I want. Which is why I got my PS3 for last christmas.
