I dunno about you people elsewhere but 40 minutes for us guys in the UK!
What you all getting, I know this is all a bit off topic but hey, it's Christmas :D.
Im getting Guitar Hero 3 and Skate on Xbox 360, Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 on PC, and some other stuff :D.
I just ordered my own christmas present, a 24" monitor javascript:void(0);
Grin
The stuff I got was not gaming or computer related.
I just got paid for my game I made so I've already gone and brought my PS3 (woo all next-gen consoles owned!) so I have no idea what my parents are getting me, I can't think what else it need!
p.s. 34 minutes left!

they're not exactly 'next-gen' anymore, considering the x360 has been out more than 2 years now...
GAH! Next-gen isn't a time frame, its the number of the generation its in. If a child is the 16th generation of a family he doesn't suddenly become a different generation at a certain age.
Then again I suppose there are no strict rules on it, you know what I mean anyway ;)
common sense dictates next-gen refers to the 'next generation'...
which would be the consoles coming out in god knows how many years.
x360, wii, ps3 = current generation =/= next-gen
If it literally refered to the next-generation then we'd never actually own a next generation console because as soon as it was released it would no longer be the next console
How fucked up is it to get computer games for christmas?
Come on, you get self made pullovers and socks from your grandmother for christmas, but not videogames.
Sucks for you!
Last year I got a HD tv, Wii, moneys, computer and quite a few 360 games, are you actually saying you'd prefer socks?

Damn I need an internet sarcasm detector. There needs to be a smilie for it :)
:edit:

anyways,,,,
MERRY CHRISTMAS UK'ers! (and other people in the right time zones)
Christmas? That was yesterday...
Well, i got UT3, cash and a pocket knife (lol my granpa > yours).
Woohoo, finally got my Kill Bill (Volume 1 + 2) 2 Disc edition in Metal case!!! :P (I knew, I bought it myself at first xD)
And white chocolade liquor (17%) ;D
I got Resistance Fall of man and Need for Speed on Ps3, plus super mario galaxy and a 30gig creative zen (wasnt what I was expecting at all) along with a few other random things as usual. Still no UT3 though! Nevermind I'll just wait until PS is released ;)
Hope you all have a good day! I'm off now
Everyone speaking as they were still kids, geez. :P
Got nothing (yet). Getting presents is for kids :P

Agreed. Bragging over christmas gifts on an online forum is pretty low, no offense.
tssss... :-*
I really don't see it as bragging. I just said what I got, as a teenager its still all part of christmas for me :)
i disagree with piano that its for just kids , thats the best joy of christmas aside from having quality time with family, that you get to gloat over the next kid that your gift was better :D!.
I got a lot of stuff, rofl...
The second best present was a binary watch :D
And the best was a StackPack (Speed Stacks).
If you know what that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q395-F6hAcg (this kid has the world record of 7 sec and 23/100 seconds (7.23). In this video he did it even faster: 6.69
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Bluetooth headset, cosmology book, telescope --> best part about this bad boy, you can type in where you want it to look and it moves to the spot (i.e. go to Mars *moves to Mars*), clothes that were necessary, accessories. Good times. Hope everyone got what they wanted =)
for me, christmas is all about meeting my familiy, sitting together, talking, and telling my grandmother how much i love the socks she made me this year. :D
Merry Christmas everyone.
I got mario :P
damn i got no socks XD
westfall Ive been looking for a bluetooth headset for my PS everywhere but no-one sells them :(
Merry Christmas! I got Madden 08, Bioshock, Remote Control Helicopter ( WAY cool ), a dock for my zune, new stereo system, some clothes, some certificates, moneys, and some other pretty nice stuff. I know, I'm kind of spoiled.

You can find them online I'm sure. Whats your phone brand? Does it have bluetooth access?
not for my phone. Playstations can use them apparently. Do they need to be sony?
Bought a new phone for myself; sony W580i, which came with an 8GB card, cause my old one was like 5 yrs old and retro. Also a new swiss army watch from the g/f which is super awesome, and some clothes from the rents.

Not necessarily. They just have to be compatible with Playstation. I'm sure there are Playstation headsets out there. Especially if there is an option for one.
PS3? For PS2 they don't exist, so thats what I assume you are talking about. Here are a few links:
