an iTunes gift card.
Does that count?
sure! =)
80G Zune! Was seconds from getting an iPhone until I learned that there was no accidental damage insurance to buy…
ooh. bad choice Justy, Hawk’s gonna own you for that….
I got an airport extreme. My laptop, which sadly is not a mac T_T, DS, and Wii were in dire need of one! so I’m happy now
Nope, He made the correct choice and all you retards need to stfu.
I got food of various kinds.
Speaking of iPhones, I work at a Cingular store where we don’t sell the iPhone. See, we’re a franchise and my boss is too cheap to buy them for us to sell. Well, just this morning, a young man comes in who got the iPhone for Christmas and wanted to activate it.
It was sooooo shiny! I kept turning it over and looking at it. I couldn’t figure out how to open the back to see if it had a SIM card, so I sent him to a corporate store…with a heavy heart.
The guy was cute, too. *sighs*
For future reference:
– iPhones can be activated through iTunes on your home computer.
– The SIM card is located in a slot on the top and removed with a paper clip (or similar device)
I am going to get a macbook pro today! Thanks Grandad!
I got my first MacBook, I’m loving it. :D
And its all Applegeeks fault for coverting me, praise be to you all hehe.
*converting, damn my fingers.
I got a silcer 80gig iPod Classic to replace my old Generation 3 ipod i’ve had forever and it’s disc error.
I love it! named it “Soundwave”. Geeky AND clever.
Same here — Black 80 GB to replace a 3G iPod with a faulty disk drive.
I didn’t name it “Soundwave” though. :)
Yeah, I ended up getting an 80 gig classic to replace the 30 gig video that was lifted out of my car last year.
You’ll never really know what pain is until your iPod is stolen and you’re too poor to replace it immediately.
I got an ipod nano, kind of wish i got a bigger one. Can’t complain though.
I got an iPod Shuffle and I’m ecstatic! It’s perfect for when I’m running (well for when I start running after the new year… hopefully).
Well the only apple product I got was a new case for my Macbook pro, I did however get a spiffy new 22″ widescreen to view things with. :D
I got a family pack edition of the new Mac os X, now it’s just the long process of backing up all my stuff from two computers before installing the baby yeahh
I got an anti-apple t-shirt.
Oh, and pot.
I got a Wii, finally got an ipod, God knows they’ve been out for years lol. Couple Wii games, Wii Sports is the bes one I got :p. And I got whoastudios.com for my web comic :D. Won’t go live till tomorrow tho..
Sin City, Death Proof, some cash… usual crap type stuff.
Got my first Ipod!
iPod, and it made me update my iTunes. Well played, Apple, well played.
A good pair of wireless headphones.
And some Wii games.
I got Leopard for my mini…
And a vibrating penguin. Relax..its a massage pillow.
With all due respect Mr. Hawk have you considered changing your name to “iHawk”?
sorry for the double post. But i got my first iPod
Blade Runner: Final Cut
No Apple hardware (bought the iPod months ago) but I got iTunes gift cards form nearly every member of my family (including extended) because they all thought they were being… unique. Ended up having $155 in iTunes money. >_
I got 2 EB Gamez gift cards and some socks =/
My iMac(FIRST MAC AND I LOVE IT) was pretty much an early Christmas present I got in November, but I did get a wacom tablet on Christmas. :)
An acoustic guitar and tickets to an opera :)
Apple gift card and a Wii
*Dances*
harry potter stuff (yeah im a dork) eagles stuff (football team) and zelda for the ds. my sister did get an i-pod touch though
I got an iBook G4, my very first personal computer! I love it so much!
Congrats on the iBook! My wife has a 1.33GHz iBook and loves it, no way she’d ever give it up.
u_u igotapclaptop. *flails* Not my fault, my mother cannot be converted. I did get a few things for my iPod, though, if that helps the treachery at all.
I’m posting from my Christmas present, and also my first iPod, an iPod touch. I love it!
I got a PC! //Built it myself; XP Media Center
Get a Mac Pro, and try Mac OS X for a change…
I WANT MY VIDEO GAMES
//Last mac i had was OS 9.1. Never looked back. Applegeeks is my favorite comic though, kind of ironic.
Smart man, don’t even consider that extreme retard that commented below you.
A custom PC will kick the shit out of any Mac or any computer period.
I got OS 10.5(Leopard), and some drawing/inking pens.
I got an excellent book containing all 118 of Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo, a book of famous Japanese screen paintings, and a new Nikon digital camera, the P5100. Small yet flexible for me.
No apple products for Christmas for me.
I did however get an Generation 5 (4GB) iPod Nano for my birthday earlier this month, which was sweet as hell.
Because I was running on a 10 year old Sony Walkman CDplayer, that died a week after getting my Nano.
Now to get accessories for this baby of mine, such as docking station for my car, a Bose SoundDock Portable System for listening to it in the house.
To just name a few things that are need for it.
~Aeol
bose…sigh…bose isnt really that good…do some research and get something better…might be a tad more expensive but better…
If you want to get a portable sounddock, go for the Harmon-Kardon Go+Play. Its pretty much the same price as the portable Bose, but with ten times the sound.
and plus, it doesn’t use science to cut corners on the purity of the sound you get.
my parents are amazing, they acually found me a Wii!!!
Wireless Mighty Mouse, iPod Touch, Cover for my MacBook, DVDS. Good stuff!
80 gig Ipod Classic!
it nearly forgives the 512mb Ipod Shuffle I bought a couple of years back that didn’t work, which Apple Australia refused to replace.
seriosly Apple America tech support may be top noch but that doesn’t apply for the land down under
I got a bag of hopeless dreams :(.
Cheer up hun, at least you recieved something. :)
i would have had a bag but the mail man took it back.. :(
aw… nothing apple for me. But…
ASTRO BOY BOX SET!!!
I recieved a set of perfume and shampoo that got to do with addidas from my mum, a pair of handmade scarfs by my sister, and a couple of PS2 games generously given by my dad. “Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria” and “Street Fighter Alpha Antology” are both rare games. I would have been very happy with just those. :3
But I also recieved a HP Notebook. Now that was REALLY unexpected. I still can’t believe it today, a whole day later, neitherless yesterday. Not that I don’t appreciate it, on the contrary, but it was really unexpected. Don’t know wheather anyone has gotten this same feeling with one of their presents this Xmas. Could be just me though.
No Mac products recieved, though I had a wonderful Christmas anyhow. Now to New Year’s Eve! ^_^
I got one of those cool new video nanos.
I didnt get any mac goods, ive had my ipod nano for a year now and still love it. i did get a fancy new keyboard n mouse with lazers! some xbox360 games, call of duty 4 and $20′000 from my rents and book 10 of initial D. xmas was FTW!
I iwsh you all a happy new year!
I got Atlas Shrugged, a Phone Booth DVD, and an old-school iPod!
I got clothes and comic books, all a guy needs for the winter time.
Some comics I got were
The Deadman Collection by Dennis O’Niel and Neal Adams
The Spirit by Darwyn Cooke
Superman Red Son (In Communist Russia you save Superman)
DC Archives Comic Cavalcade Vol 1 (incredibly racist by the way)
Superman For Tomorrow Vol 2
Hellboy Vol 2.
I got an iPod touch to replace my old 1st generation 10 gb iPod, and as much as I love that old thing, I am completely enamored with my new baby.
For those interested, my old iPod (that I got in 2002 and is still fully functional) may be bound for ebay.
I got the international plug set and an airplane adapter so I can be set with my Mac for my semester in Ireland.
The international plug set was one of my Christmas gifts last year, it certainly comes in handy. Have a good time in Ireland.
this Christmas I was going to get a Wii but talked my parents into a trip to DC instead, I can’t wait to hit the National Art museum for the Edward Hopper exhibit, oh and a chance to see actual snow is nice too.
I got my first ever iPod! It’s an iPod Nano, though.
A lovely, green, 3rd Gen. iPod Nano. I’m rather happy with it. And I just ordered a case for it…except the case I bought was red since I really wanted the red one, but didn’t feel like bothering relations to get it since I’m happy to just get an iPod. Oooh! And a Wacom tablet! And lots of sweaters. The only things that could make this season better are if the CD drive on my computer magically starts working and the term paper looming over my head disappears.
Blade Runner the Final Cut, Serenity, Firefly the series, Hellboy, Contact, two art books…one Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers and the other the Crossgen Illustrated, an Amy Brown print, mittens, and money to the nearest bookstore for more books.
Bought my own Ipod back during Canadian Thanksgiving. Currently paying off my credit card to get an iMac
Firefly = best sci-fi series EVER.
heck yes…and the guy who played jayne cobb is now on Chuck!
…and Chuck is AWESOME!
Oh yeah, Firefly is too. XD
I got a set of PJ’s…there so cute… a bedset(new living situation but its cool)..I got like $100 in gift cards to Borders (luv da books). and my fav. of all my new Sony Cyber-Shot….its sexy….
What about you Hawk what did you recive this holiday season? ^_^
I don’t celebrate Christmas. So I just enjoyed my day off.
people dont even give you free loot?
Well i know that you dont…> its kinda why i said…holiday season…you know so you dont get left out….i dunno i was trying to be nice…i fail…
I got a new keyboard to replace the Casio one i broke, ablout $200, 4gb Flash drive, Guitar Hero III for PS2, some CD’s (The Who: The Ultimate Collection, The Who: Who’s Next, Meat Loaf: The Very Best of Meat Loaf, Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath), and the best thing i got is some free time to spend with my Girlfriend.
I got her a nice gold necklace with a garnet on it.
Hope Everyone elses holiday was good.
From family and friends, I just got a few shirts, a box of candy, some spending money (which totaled up to somewhere around $130), and some other various goodies.
After all was said and done, I decided to buy myself some more Christmas presents and woke up early to spend boxing day getting myself a PS3 and accessories- *cough* I mean, buying my family a new Blu-ray player. (wink wink, nudge nudge…)
i didn’t get much this year. but my hubby’s laptop busted & i have a feeling we’ll be getting a new mac to replace it. unfortunatly we’ve spent a bit too much $$ on our shiny new hdtv, so it’ll have to wait.
This year I was surprised that I recieved an iPod classic, 160GB in black. My first apple product (besides iTunes) ever, and I am pretty happy with it.
I was a bit confused when i was opening the present, because the first thing i saw when I was opening the present/wrapping was the Nelly Fertado graphic, and thought that I had gotten some very ill-chosen music. Glad I was wrong!
got a itunes gift card and some money from my grandparents($200, sadly i have to fix my car with this, so no new ipods or such), surprisingly the fun gift was a sawzall (reciprocating saw). Now all i need i a crowbar and i can literally destroy part any thing from a house to a car.
also i had my first experience with a iphone. my god i want one.
o, and happy new year from Jersey
A iPod Touch would have been nice… I got a nice scarf and money, planning on buying a digital camera with it, currently looking around for a good one.
My parents are not big fans of macs sadly so i only got a digital camera, prismacolor markers, and a acoustic guitar. So it looks like I am off to the apple store at the mall of georgia.
iPod touch — One of the best gifts that can be given to you
Jailbreaking your new iPod touch — One of the best gifts that you can give to yourself.
I got a Wii game, a Wiimote/Nunchuk combo ($60?! and I thought Wavebirds were pricey back in the GCN days!), a bunch of candy, and my favorite, a brand new camera! Hurray! My old one is literally falling apart, so this is a great update.
No MBP, however. *sigh*. I hope to get one in 2008, or at least I’m wishing for one! Knowing my extended family, I’ll probably end up with another $60 of iTUnes gift cards by the end of the week - despite having $35 left over from last christmas!
My sister got an iPod Touch. Damn those things are sexy. Thin as a Nano, screen far bigger than the vids (erm, “classic” iPods), Safari, and it’s sooo shinnnyyyy…. I wonder if she’d notice if I sneak it out for a bit? ;)
A Nikon D80 and a PS3. Twas a good Christmas…
A new PC that I built myself,and a 22″ WS 1650 Res monitor (Huge Gamer), lots of Best Buy GC’s which will be used to purchase my very first 30GB Ipod. Gas GC’s, Restraunt GC’s, and lots of cash. Oh, yeah and a Sweater, gotta love AE!
The Orange Box, Disgaia, Final Fantasy Tactics and CLOTHES
Disgaia and FFT for the PSP
I got a Wii earlier this month, and a Wii Zapper and Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (Every Wii owner that likes FPS’s should play it) plus various giftcards. However, tomorrow I get first pick on a few pallets of various Macs my Dad got (Almost every pre-G5 iMac, a Cube, several G3/G4 Powermacs, and a barebones Powermac G5), in exchange for identifying them. w00t!
Clothes and $100……which i used to buy Final Fantasy XII and more clothes.
Ah, a list.
- Wii, Mario Galaxy
- Big Ben Jersey (Steelers fan, sue me)
- A. Creed, Mass Effect, Ace of Combat 6
- Money? Gas Gift Card? Zomg?
My sister got an iTouch though. :\
A nice, refubished 2.33Ghz 15.4″ Macbook Pro. Currently updating her to Leopard, then begins the real party…
Nikon D40x SLR 10.2 megapixel and a 55-200mm camera lens
=)
I got a 3rd gen iPod nano! I’m so happy!
I got a Wii, Guitar Hero 3, a new gaming mouse and keyboard, a quad core processor, and more ram.
Ditto on the game. unfortunatly being lefthanded the whammy bar is in the way half the time or has been moved to an annoying angle when i need it. i also managed to sprain my ring finger after playing for 5 straight hours
And I thought DDR was dangerous >_>
At the store I work at we got Guitar Hero III for the Mac.
We play it in the break room. I agree it’s mad fun. :D
Got an 80gb silver iPod Classic. My first iPod! I love it!
>_>
I got a PC!
yeah… your site had me converted for awhile…
then orangeBox came out.
HP W/3GB RAM FTW.
Represent!
@Gamma: Saying that on this site was probably not a good idea…
However, I did get $115 in iTunes gift certificates from different people. What am I going to do with $115 on iTunes and no iPod?
Several seasons of 24.
i bought my Dad a Zune >_
D: you are fired. lol
No you’re fired you shitpiece
I bought my girlfriend a Macbook as a combined anniversary (early December) and Christmas present. Macs are the gift that keep on giving. =P

I got my uncle an iPod… Poor 50 year old man didnt know how to use it.. So the holiday season was spent bending over the Comp setting it up for him
Got some gift cards to be used for food and other essentials. But I bought a couple of DS games for myself. :D For what it’s worth, my wife wants an iMac but we simply couldn’t afford it. :( Poo…
T_T I know how that goes…
My Husband promised me a Mac for our fifth anniversary though! -wishes the next three years would go by quicker-
I gotz…2 new shirts, a video game for PS2, a sketchbook ( ur 1 o me role-models, hawk ^.^ ), $20, and a new pair of running shoes.
In the near future as a late x-mas gift to the family, my mom’s thinking of buying a new computer…sorry hawk, it won’t be a mac U_U
