On the tech side of things, I recently got a cool new printer.

HP 7410. Has everything you could want, plus the handy feature of wireless control and printing, which is great in a multi-laptop household with everyone on wireless.



Well it was also my bday on the 12th (I'm 22 now and starting to feel old ) so I guess I should get around to posting what I received.

From my Mum I got a couple of the classic board games that I was deprived of as a child.





Also got an Aston Martin light and a huge leather watch box to keep my many watches in, which can kind of be seen under the sign.





Dad gave me a Maserati MC-12...sadly it was only 1:18 scale, not 1:1.





My friend gave me a set of Aston Martin wheelspinner cufflinks.





My brother gave me a set of Kotobukiya One Coin Series Robocop figures from Japan.









My former employer gave me 2 laptops (one for me and one for my brother) so I can do uni work etc. and a desktop computer (for my Aunt who wants a computer).



And last, but by no means, least my incredible girlfriend gave me an X-Box 360! These only came out here today, so she took me down to the store at midnight to pick up the pre-order. Her parents, my brother and my parents chipped in and got me all the extra for it.









All in all it was one of the best bdays I've had in quite sometime!

jeffy, the entire time i was reading his post, i was like "WOW you are 22, whichi s same age as me, but you're receiving 100000x the gifts I've ever gotten in my life!!!!"

I dont get squat for birthdays or christmas, It's just whatever i can afford for myself.
I feel so deprived now.

Well I am a bit sad at my girlfriend at the amount of money she spent on me. Now I'm going to have to give her something really good for her birthday...which will require some effort on my part.

I think I'm going to get her a Nintendo DS Lite.

My Zen Micro packed it in last week and I got bored of waiting for my boss to send it away so I upgraded to one of these for a €100 ! Best choice I've made in a long time, although I'm terrified of breaking it !

G5, 30GB, Video !! Big step up from 5GB non colour zen micro !

I expect to see you all on xbox live (because an xbox360 isn't as fun without xbox live gold), especially in GRAW...

And while you are at it, add your gamertag to the list in the entertainment section.

What are the good games for the 360? I can't justify paying $300-$400 for one if there aren't any decent games.

Regarding the 360 games: PGR3 is to die for... Played it for 3 hours at a friends house this week.... I guess I need some HD gaming as well at my place...
