My xmas story

Okay well,, a few months ago i looked into getting a 360, my parents knowing nothing of it. and since i turned 14 and started working to get a 360. my parents got suspecious,, and asked me what i wanted for xmas. and i said money. but all along they somehow knew i was saving for a elite.. my bro musta told em :P but anyways. We had some presents under the tree. nothing the size of a 360. I had opened everything besides one really small box , and i was kinda suspecious cause my bro had gotten like 400$ worth of stuff. and i had like 50 lol. well. i opened the box... and it was a note from my grandma, and it told me to look around the house for my last present. so i looked for 2 hours.... finding nothing. i finally went back downstairs. to say i give up, but... to my suprise there was a brand new Xbox 360 elite, and guitar her 2 sitting on the coach, i literally couldnt breath, after months of saving and working at hyvee, id saved 400$ and almost it, and it turned out i got one for xmas. all along i hadnt a clue.. and im just just .. WOW its a great xmas. but anyways. Merry Xmas.

i got some head and some money, gift cards and whatever else.akalelo

u got 400$ 2 spend on games

im jealous

Between you and your brother you're set. I mean, you have a new 360 and he has a new Wii. Let the gaming begin! Hopefully you don't have to share a TV haha.

I hope my sister has a similar reaction. I got her a Nintendo Wii for Xmas but she won't get it until tomorrow because I'm working right now and will be making the 2 hour drive to my dad's house tomorrow.

So wait...what made your xmas great was all the money that was spent? What about seeing your family? Or actually having a live and liveing coherant grandma to share times w/? Nothing mentioned about the food or the tears shed when you all discussed your brother coming out of the closet...and your grandma having to be resitated and your mom chking on chared turkey having to be rushed to the hospital...or your dog eating plastic silver wear covered in food and bleeding to death internally...or the fire place catching the tree on fire burning the presents beyond recognotion...or the check bouncing on the home ins causing your ins co. to decline your claim...guess none of that matters to a 13+ year old who just got an Elite for xmas...You have much to learn young padiwan.

Well I knew about everything I was getting for xmas, until my folks surprised me with a wireless system for my electric guitar so now i can go crazy onstage with no wires!

I also had a bad surprise when I opened my Rock Band bundle and the disc was scratched...well I'll just get it replaced tomorrow for free at my local gamestop or get the scratches cleaned.

Other than that I got axbox live marketplacegift cardfrom my dog for 1600MS points(my mom always insists on having the gift cards I get for xmas be from my dog). I also got Super Mario Galaxy for my wii which kicks ass.

I bought my own Xbox 360 by quitting WoW, saving up, and selling ash*tload of games along with my PSP (total suckage) and my old PS2 (all I was playing on it was GH, which I could get for 360).

yeah i would share mine but its not long but its kinda the exact same as yours but with Halo 3, Merry Christmas, and have fun GH2 is fun

I woke up about 7 and sat out on the couch and opened all my presents in enjoyment...

Dude c'mon. Though your comment made me laugh really hard he's just a kid. Plus it's christmas and this is a gaming site, so he posted something related to both. I wouldn't wannahear a story from this guy if all he wanted to talk about was a burned turkey and a dead g-ma! Anyways I got a Les Paul Gibson guitar (no not guitar hero lol) and an entire new wardrobe made by my favy designers and some polo cologne and a few 360 games and a 20 gb hard drive. Here is the story though. My parents bought GH3 for my sister b/c she has a wii. When she went to open it, it said Playstation 2 on it so she told my parents they bought the wrong one. I said "i have a ps2" and my dad said I could keep it and we will just buy her another one for the wii :) She got lucky though b/c she got alotta jewlry from Tiffanys and stuff so it's not like she really cared too much about GH3 but still it's cool cuz I was not expecting to get that game at ALL and I really wanted it secretly. I just felt bad b/c my parents already spent a TON of money on my real Les Paul guitar ya know? Oh well. I had a merry and hope you guys did too

schweet gibsons pwn. I'm inheriting my uncle's1960 LP Custom once he kicks the bucket. I got an Epi LP standard now along with a fender strat standard and my amazing martin acoustic.

As for the GH III story, I would suggest getting a different controller than the kramer. It blows.
