Your latest purchases

[Mr. B]

That looks really cool, but it brings up a general question. If you have the space, why do people use computer speakers when you could just as easily use a genuine stereo? No matter how good they are, computer speakers can't compare. My computer is using a stereo like the one you have hooked up to your TV, and my roommate's is hooked up to an old tube amp from the '60's.

That's a good point, and you'll find a lot of the people who post in workstation galleries at http://hardforum.com do just that. I, however, don't really have the room or the desire to invest in "real speakers" at the moment.

 

[Philo]

^ Well that's good to know, and also, on your point, understandable.

I bought two XboX games, since they were on sale: Mass Effect and Conan.

So far Mass Effect is phenomenal.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Yeah, Mass Effect is totally awesome. Even though I've played through it on my PC, I will gladly buy it again if it comes out for the PS3 (there's no way I'm ever buying a 360).

Boy are you in for a disappointment when you finish it and start on Conan.

I've received Guitar Hero: World Tour for the Xbox 360 yesterday and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 is waiting for me at home.

 

[SPOCKED]

Didn't buy it but this dumpster is removing a crapload of accumulated demo and other useless clutter after 10 months since the first one. It's practically full now and well worth the cost..

The only thing out of the ordinary: A Tea-Pot. A very cheap one. A $7.50 one, to be exact.

I paid $2 for my teapot. I love thrift stores.

A friend recently tried to sell me a Tiffany teapot for $75 she got as a gift. We're pretty sure she got it as a regift. I declined.

However, my latte is tasting great right now.

I've never played Guitar Hero but we just got Rockband2 and I love it.

 

[Captain Craig]

A whole bunch of groceries. This was the highlight of them though.

One day I'm going to have to buy that to see what the hype is about. I don't know anyone who eats it so I'm never around to sample some.

Ever have a ferrero roche? It's like that in a spread.

We're still waiting for that.

 

[An Officer]

Thai lunch.
A small handmade owl for the christmas tree.
A romance novel.

Two free gin and tonic packs with everything - including the stirrer and the lime. This shouldn't really count as a purchase as it was given to us free to promote Gordon Ramsey's live cook-along. Cheers to Mr Ramsey!

 

[auntiehill]

A dark purple shawl from Coldwater Creek---as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law. She loves purple.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

Groceries and gasoline, my usual Friday items.

 

[thestrangequark]

I went to the bookstore today and bought In Awe and We Disappear, by Scott Heim, to complete my triad of his novels. I read Mysterious Skin this week, and while I doubt I will feel as strongly about his other two novels as I did his first, I look forward to reading them.

 

[Aragorn]

I upgraded my Xbox 360 and bought an Elite. Somewhere out there, a PKerr got its wings.

That's good.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

I got a Roku player. I'm catching up with 30 Rock. Next is Dexter.
