Boys 11 and 13
What is the latest craze, given up on the xbox 360 I think i am getting one :D

Any suggestions?

Think I am turning into an old fart as I cant see what i can get em.

HHEEEEEELLLLPPPP please!

PSP - the portable playstation thingy perhaps?

PSP with GTA liberty city stories
or
tangerine and some nuts?

OK I have two boys 9 and 15.

Both have got new bikes off me.

Youngest has got a Gamecube off his Dad, the eldest got a brand new MotoX bike for his birthday and Xmas  (18th Dec).

My mother has bought them both portable DVD players.  <<< they will be cheap and nasties.

Youngest wanted one of those Robo thingies - he wanted the dinosaur one, but at that price he can go take a long run off a short pier for it!

Believe it or not - they aren't spoilt!

Thanks for suggestions, I spent a fortune on them last year with 2 Moto X  motorbikes, they have only used them once !!
I would like to get them normal bikes but not sure what style, BMX, Mountain, Choppers or Cruisers? Whats the latest craze?

I do like the tangerine and nuts suggestion

PSP's a little too expensive this year looking to spend about £150 each.

What about a trampoline?  If you have space for one that is.

Both of mine wanted mountain bikes with dual suspension - got them both one from Makro  59.99 + VAT - £70.49 - bloody nice bikes too.

Now would be a good time to sell those MX bikes if they don't use them - season starts again in March, and people will be looking for bikes for their wee ones to start on.

PSP's are good, i wanted one (dont laugh)

Trace do you think Makro still have em in stock?
The bikes I have been looking at are all sold out in Halfords Argos etc. Put a few bids on ebay but delivery charges are usually about £25 plus bike makes the but it now prices the same as shops.

Apparently, and please correct me if I am wrong, but you cannot play standard PS2 games in the PSP.

The discs are supposedly smaller, so anyone getting one is going to have to build up a whole new library of games.  Waste of good money if you ask me, then again no-one did.  lol

Shutup Trace.

Hmmmm  Not too sure.   They were by Excel and large (goldie coloured) one called Mesmerize and smaller (24 ") blue one Bravado.  Makro at Preston had loads of the bigger one left, but only 3 of the smaller ones, and that was about two weeks ago.

One thing I quite fancied for Xmas was an iPod Nano - something to bear in mind for the kids!

The ps2 discs can be used via a plug in adapter, but that kinda gets away from the point of PSP(portable). Great tool tho, however games are expensive, as are the dvd's that can be played on them (again smaller discs).

My choice would be the robot dino', 70-80 squid in shops, but can be obtained for £40 on ebay.....oh and aparently kids like em too lol

Thanks, will have a mooch later today.
As for the ipod nano, sod the kids the mrs was getting one so I can use it :D
PSP games running at about £45 !!! me thinks they will get boreed of the same game after 3 years? :)up

Heard there was a decent poker game for the Xbox anyone got any details?

My God he's taking Xmas seriously - there's a first in all the years I've known him.  Xmas shopping for Alfa is normally a run around shops on Xmas Eve.  I'm stunned he has done research.


I have seen a machine that you can plug into your telly, that a few of you can play poker on - can't sodding remember where I saw it now, that looked like good fun.

Gonna go surf and look for it.   Watch this space!

you mean its not christmas eve today??

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ermmmm NO!

I have a birthday to sort before I can even think about taking Xmas seriously.


Anyone wanna go up in my attic get my decs and tree and put them up for me - I really really really can't be bothered this year.

BAH HUMBUG!

STOP PRESS

just got a great christmas pressie.

 ;letsparty; MY NEPHEW WILL BE ABLE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH HIS FAMILY ;letsparty;

(while in the meantime spending most of his time with someone elses' extended family)

Sorted ....looks like a good ole family game of no limit round the tele on Xmas day. Sod the bikes !!! Start em young :D

Oh WOW Dave that is absolutely FANTASTIC news - email me with the ins and outs please.

Don't quite understand the bit in brackets btw.

Dik9, a good place that I have used for bikes before is http://www.sterlinghouse.co.uk/ (http://www.sterlinghouse.co.uk/), they have fantastic prices on a lot of their bikes, and when we used them 2 years ago they gave us a free upgrade on a mountain bike, as the one we wanted had sold out. Fast delivery too!

should have said ..while in the meantime spending the rest of his time where  one member of someone elses extended family works

EH?  Just email me will ya!  lol

Or do you mean my Step-Dad?

Have done, but basically yes. Step dad lol

Oh, and on the subject of PSP, you can't beat them for graphics, they are expensive but IMO they are worth every penny (wish I had one  :( ) You can even put your digital pics on them also, How cool!!

I've got a Nintendo DS for my 9 year old with several games, my eldest (12yr old, Jenny) is getting her first PC. Baby of the family, Caitlin -  soon to big a Big 5, is getting a sort of scooter/Dolls buggy (very cool!) also all the little bits that little girls want. They're so easy at that age  :D

Apologies for hijacking this thread everyone.

But Alfa's cryptic message is in fact EXCELLENT news for him and his family.

It's an Xmas present that will be remembered for a long time.

I am very happy for them all, but over the moon for his nephew, a nicer lad you couldn't wish to meet.

Ginger, Thanks...those prices are fantastic! Merry Christmas and a big thanks from the boys.  :)up

I gather Alfa's nephew got a special santa miracle? Nice one!

Many Thanks Trace, I will pass on your kind words.

This looks cool, has anybody got one or seen one in action? I will get one if they are any good.

£20 in a card is about as good as my presents for the kids gets but they seem to like it. (not my kids)

WPT can be played via xbox live.
