Well I had a day-early christmas because my sister wanted to open her presents.
What did you guys get for christmas tech-wise?

I got an Impact X-rocker gaming chair and a 1080p 19inch HDTV with built-in DVD player (I now use it as my PC monitor :3)

Nothing.

I really wanted to get an iPad/iPad Mini a few months ago, but I loaned one out from school and it turns out that I don't even like it that much... I also was kinda tempted by a new camera and/or lens upgrade, but I hate spending my hard-earned money, so I decided that I don't really want it...

I got some nice laptop Speakers from my parents and I'll be buying an iPhone 5S for myself on January 11th when My contract expires and I'm eligable for an upgrade. In other words, I'm the only fucking kid ever that buys his own smart phone. :rolleyes: :P

Well since I got fifty dollars I'm gonna combine that with some more money to hopefully buy myself another studio mic, maybe get some Microsoft points as well.

I didn't really get any new tech stuff, but I did get tech repair tools; torx screwdrivers and other things for opening up and fixing electronics equipment :3

I'll be buying a PS4 in January-February (or later, if there's still limited stock) as a late Christmas present to myself.

I generally only get small things and money at Christmas (the best part about Christmas is spending time with family, not the presents, so I couldn't care less that my parents 'only' spent £100 on me in comparison to other people's £1000+)

Hope everyone else had a good Christmas :)

A 32' inch HDTV, a copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and $60 in Nintendo eShop money. Which I can't use because the servers are full :/

A nice get though. I'm very grateful.

Bit late, but better than never. A Cyborg R.A.T 7 mouse to go with my Cyborg V7 keyboard, a CM Storm Sonuz headset and a Raspberry Pi. Along with that many books on WW2 and RAF based things. I also got money that I think I will use on buying a new lense for my camera, a Sigma DC OS 18-250MM F3.5/6.3. Has excellent build quality and is a perfect all round lense.

I didn't get any Tech for Christmas, but I did finally get enough for my new Graphics card a lovely Asus HD7790 that DIDNT WORK. So I have sent it back and am getting a Sapphire HD 7850 instead.

Bit annoying that £100 of Graphics card was dead, but the new one should run great.
