    Retro wise I'm being alot more humble with my letter to Santy. A fifty Euro PSN card so I can download some Neo Geo games and Grandia to my PSP. Having said that, I do intend on paying a trip to RAGE soon.....

    Well I started by leaving hints about a Vectrex but I know I'm not getting one.
    I then requested a GameCube, Dreamcast, SNES or Master System but I'm not sure if Santy can fit them in his sack.
    I know I'm getting something electronic so thats good but Santy (the missus) won't tell me what is is, I just hope it's not something garbage like Kinect

    Edit: I also want a copy of ICO and Gradius V for PS2

    Okay I reread that above post and it came across as extremely smug. It's just been a good couple of years. I've pretty much managed to get everything I've been looking for. The candy cab was just icing on the cake. I was thinking what I want now and to be honest, there's not much left.

    Panzer Dragoon Saga would be nice...but I'm not pushed enough to go out and spend €150 on it.

    So yes, I am content :) Now as long as everything just keeps working I'll be a happy camper!

    And if not well...Enternow only lives 30 minutes away :D

    I believe only one of us knows where the other lives. And it ain't you! :p

    /edit - actually, I'm a moron. Either that or I've had too many Captain Morgans (You're right Retr0, it does taste like disinfectant)
    I was writing up a list the other day of things I'd like to pick up soon -

    Megadrive -

    Shinobi 3
    Sunset Riders
    The Ooze
    Castlevania The New Generation
    The Punisher
    Pulseman
    Eliminate Down
    Gleylancer
    Star Oddyssey


    Ps1 -

    Rapid Reload
    Ghost in the Shell

    Saturn -

    Radiant Silvergun
    Panzer Dragoon Saga
    Battle Garegga

    JAMMA -

    Raiden II
    Some more PGM carts
    Pulstar
    Any board by Raizing. Not going to happen though. Was watching an Armed Police Batrider board a little while ago and it went for stupid money in the end.

    Why do I have a feeling you'll be wearing my skin by the end of the week.

    New Christmas clothes perhaps?

    I bet they're all complete with hanging tags too! You lucky bugger.

    Do you have Sunset Riders for the megadrive yeah? I have it for the Snes but need to pick it up for the MD too.

    You know it. The cart of sunset riders is a little tattered though so that needs replacing

    An NTSC version of Stadium Events, a PAL version of Kizuna Encounter for the Neo Geo, and maybe the definitive ps2 version of Fifa 03'.
    Ahem.

    Being realistic, would like a GC keyboard controller (so what if I can never use it!?), a green Tales of Symphonia GC and maybe a DC arcade stick...

    Just finding them @ reasonable prices is the problem!
