<div class="IPBDescription">What to buy? What to buy...</div>Rawr.
When I bought my laptop I got one of those RewardZone card thinies and so I now have a $55 gift certificate to Best Buy for anything I want. Hooray!
So now I'm trying to decide what to get...
:X Such tough choices!
a few DVDs?
a new 802.11g pcmcia card that is linux compatible since my current one is crap?
a ps2/xbox/gamecube/pc game of some form?
some hardware accessory for ps2/xbox/gamecube/pc?
something else?
I don't HAVE to buy anything, they don't expire until like September something, but I've always had a problem with the whole "money burning a whole in my pocket" thing. :P

Or since you're you, you could preorder Doom 3(If you havn't already)
Off topic:I don't plan on getting Doom 3.
Edit: GG Isamil, you said it before I did, my intarnet is slow.
Saw Doom 3 preordrs though.

Buy Ut2k4
Or save it and Buy Ground Control 2 (which is out on the 22nd of June!)
- Best Buy is a 30 minute drive away. On the day HL2/DOOM3/STALKER comes out, I will be heading directly to the EB that's 2 minutes away and I will make it a 45 second trip. So no pre-order on either of those 3. Or anything else for that matter, as I wanna get something I can take home w/ me.

Instant gratification eh?
Well I think honestly you should think up a priority list (in terms of gaming), this might help you sort out what is most important for you to get. Rather than just coming up with something at random and later finding out you wanted something else more.
Dunno though, whatever works for you.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a soul again?

Don't get GC2, I warn thee.
Get UT2k4. God is in that game.

I'm pretty sure he winked at me on ONS-Crossfire.
Even though I don't have it. BUY IT FOR TEH CHILDRUHN!
Hey, at least it makes <i>me</i> feel rich when I see I have checks being sent from companies to me instead of the other way around <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
[edit]More seriously, I do go out rebate raiding almost every Sunday. My most recent purchases were Max Payne and Resume Maker Professional. Total cost (as of 6-8 weeks from now): $0.00

You're just fueling the nightmares of cashiers that wanted to party on saturday.
I used to hate people that did that when I worked retail.

You know you want GC2 when it comes out. I mean, there aren't any mods for ut with long lasting appeal, and while there is a channel for ns players to get together for ut games (#nsswarm advert!) we organize gc games there too!
GET GC 2!
