I wish. Couldn't even muster a Steam voucher out of my lot this year. I'll remember that..........

Skerries

Darch Nemesis reaches for the keyboard to stop the zombie from biting his arm but remembered that Clem hadn't bought him a voucher

Mickeroo

The OH got me some logitech speakers, which was nice.

Grahamer666

Treated myself to a new set of headphones for use when i'm not using a mic. Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's. Not got them yet but they're on the way.

Samuel T. Cogley

Treated myself to a Formula Force EX secondhand and a few cheap VR games and one not so cheap (FO4VR).

K.O.Kiki

Bought some games in the GOG.com sale

Cuphead, Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, Painkiller.

Dcully

Funny thing is you will be done with Destiny 2 in half a day.

Grahamer666

Divinity 2 not Destiny 2.

Dcully

Well that's a totally different story, enjoy! I still need to start it myself.

..or 1170?

Got a bunch of VR games myself. I'm hoping BoxVR lives up to the hype of being great for exercise, need to work off those christmas dinners

kevovek

Upgraded my rig the week before xmas as my gift to myself went from my 1st ever cpu an FX6300 to a Ryzen 1700

No PC pressies for me, boo, tbh I have everything I need/want but I might treat myself once i get a few quid from steam cards. Thinking of Onward and/or Rez for the Rift and maybe Project cars 2 which can be got for around ~25 euro on some semi legit sites

TerrorFirmer

Was gifted one of those full desk mouse-mat surfaces (deadly, especially cos I was not expecting it) and a set of Cloud II's (equally deadly, but expected).

Oh....and a laser printer. Not that thrilling but I did need it

Gunmonkey

Got €20 Steam voucher....absolutely no clue what to buy!

super_sweeney

got a new coffee lake i7 and a 1070Ti what a beast!

I sat on a new SSD for 6 months before installing it in a new build, granted had to put the build together but still lol, I find when building with a new case its just a complete time sink trying to get decent cable management etc.

I hear that! I have a new psu to go in for the last year (old one is fine, but old). Right now I'm thinking I'll just do the full upgrade and get motherboard, CPU, RAM etc. I've already been talking to the fine folk on the pc building and upgrades forum about what's hot and not. I see a spending spree on the ho-Ryzen... (I'll get my coat)

lmimmfn

Haha that's bad. I'd love a threadripper just to play around with VMs etc. but built a new rig earlier in the year so can't justify it.

Picked up a G29 with pedals and gearstick in Lisburn for £150( well had £100 sterling lying around so wasn't too bad on the pocket ). Have a G25 already but will give that to the nephew.
So that's my PC gaming treat sorted. Now to dismantle G25 and set it up. Sigh.

Fuzzy Logic

The G920 is on offer again on Currys UK site. So tempted to get it as a present to myself (along with the Oculus Rift).

A new wheel from santa https://www.fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-porsche-918-rsr-eu.html
Had to buy the V2.5 base as a secret present to myself..

Still using my g27 pedals had to buy this adapter so I could use them stand alone http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187 works perfect..

If I was doing it again, pedals / gearstick / handbrake / wheel in that order.

I've always admired the commitment to the cause of the car and flight sim enthusiasts to build the wildest setups. I've never been enough of a fan of those types of games to indulge. But that said, my flat is basically a recording studio, so I guess my madness went down a slightly different route

BArra

picked up a few things before christmas, planning to get back into pc gaming in the near future

Both are and a great price. They're pretty much the same except the G920 looks nicer but G29 has LEDs for when to change gear etc.
I chose the G29 as I prefer function over aesthetics but will admit its minimal.

On mobile so double post. I got bored with regular console gaming and wanted more, had my g25 since ~2010, its just stuff that lasts ages and makes the games far more immersive. A wheel and VR is in a league of its own, absolutely sublime, seriously.

G920 is out of stock for delivery and some stores I checked too. The G29 is available in Belfast for collection, I would like the G920 for the Xbox One too as the PS4 is rarely used. Decisions, decisions

I just checked availability and drove up to Lisburn yesterday( picked up some other stuff too, can't believe how much cheaper some things are up north ), got tired of Curry's making it as stupidly difficult as possible to order online.
Its stupid that the G29 doesn't work on not consoles, same with the G920.
I think today is the last day of the sale.
