Skip: My 29in CRT looks ok, it’s getting a bit long in the tooth, but when I go round to my mates place and play on his HD TV with the 360 everything looks so damn sweet… and my 360 is my reason for living…

I agree with ya skip!

Also I’ll add that buying a toilet online for someone saves postage for those pressies to overseas friends.

Jonathan… how did i know you would say that…

But seriously… why do you want HiDef… all you will want is the next best thing when it comes out…

My CRT TV looks great and cost me $50.

YES YES AND YES!!

Frank i totally agree with your article. I have, however, for the last two years tried in vain to convince my family that i really really really dont need anything.. So a goat would be great.

I still cannot fathom the ingrained desire to buy something that often will end up on the endless pile of unused goods.

I still cannot understand why my family and friends think im completely demented and mentally deranged whenever i keep tell them to buy me a goat.

So heres a concept.. Go and spend $4 at a two dollar shop, then buy a goat or something.. that way you get the best of both worlds.. a physical gift to give as well as a gift that means so much more for someone in need.
