    Can't think of anything in particular - just give yourself a few hours in Akihabara to drool over all things electronic.
    If you're buying anything big, see if they do it in an export model.
    And bring your passport so you can avoid their VAT. it's only a few percent but why not.

    get a Canon HG10 HD camcorder - just got one and they are fantastic.

    Blu-ray player ? or a BR drive for your pc.?

    Have the same dilema.

    At the moment I have bought;

    Canon Kiss Digital (400D) DSLR
    Canon ixy20is - small point and shoot job
    PS3 and a few games
    ibook and itouch (from the apple store so got the US keyboard)

    Looking to get a nice BOSE headphones. Tried them out in BicCamera and they were amazing, couldn't hear any noise once they were on - would compiment the itouch me thinks :)

    After that I've no idea what I'm going to buy. Would love a robot with some sort of USB functionality that perhaps sychs with my pc/fridge for no valid reason
