Ho! Ho! Ho! Community Holiday Wish Lists!
Since Santa’s coming in less than two weeks, here at Xbox Canada we thought we’d help with some of the toughest people on his “Nice” list by pulling together the Wish Lists of some of our awesome Canadian Xbox community members. And based on these lists, Santa better stock up on Microsoft Points Cards and copies of Rock Band for all the all the good little gamers out there!
CrazyAprilFool, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Legend of Myth, Edmonton, Alberta
FyroniK, Bradford, Ontario
GingerAlan, Mississauga, Ontario
TheDutchman1979, Thorold, Ontario
WorldContainer, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
TTR Dr Payne, Vancouver, British Columbia
GeekesS, Milton, Ontario
JadeLive, Toronto, Ontario
CrazyAprilFool
CrazyAprilFool loves the cheesy fireplace log on TV, doesn't like crowds at the malls, and thinks that The Chipmunks' Christmas CD should be banned forever.
Wish List:
World Peace – Can't we just "play" war on Xbox 360 and not fight in real life?
Microsoft Points Cards – All those Xbox LIVE Arcade games and Map Packs can really add up.
Mass Effect – ... Although that means I would have to put Call of Duty 4 down for a bit.
Gift Cards – Tim Horton's, Best Buy and Blockbuster.
Viva Piñata Party Animals – To play with my kids ... really.
Jewellery – What girl doesn't like diamonds?
Legend of Myth
Legend of Myth loves oxymorons, doesn't like altercations and thinks that time should last forever.
Wish List:
Rock Band – Having played and enjoyed Guitar Hero 1, 2 and 3, it only seems proper to ask for this one.
#1 Dad Mug – I need a mug. Why not make it a #1 Dad? (No, I’m not a dad.)
A super rare and exclusive Faceplate – If there’s anything I’m more addicted to than my Gamerscore, it’s faceplates ... why, Xbox? WHY?!
Microsoft Points – With the launch of Xbox Originals and the Video Marketplace coming Dec 10, you can never have enough of these!
A new computer – With new releases such as Crysis and Unreal Tournament III, my old rig is looking outdated.
A pony – Because I never got one when I was younger...
FyroniK
FyroniK loves Xbox LIVE, doesn't like Coke and thinks that polar bears should be around forever.
Wish List:
HD-DVD Player to watch some HD-DVDs such as “Ocean’s Thirteen.”
Assassin’s Creed to do some assassinating.
Rock Band to play some drums.
A Moxie's gift card so I can eat at my favourite restaurant and get a white chocolate brownie
!
Chocolate-covered blueberries.
Finally, a winning lottery ticket so that I will never need to go to school or work and so that I can play the Rock Band drums, assassinate evil-doer's in 12th Century Jerusalem and watch HD-DVD's like “Ocean’s Thirteen” all day/night long while eating the chocolate-covered blueberries and eating at Moxie's everyday.
GingerAlan
GingerAlan loves Guitar Hero, doesn’t like the cold and thinks that Xbox LIVE should be free forever.
Wish List:
“Dark Side of the Moon” by Pink Floyd on vinyl – Pink Floyd is awesome; one of my favourite bands.
Call of Duty 4 – It’s the top game on my list, because the beta was awesome and apparently the final game is 10X better then the beta.
Scrubs on DVD – Love the show, but I can never find it on TV.
Books – Hey, when I’m not gaming, I’m probably reading!
Rock Band – One of my favourite games is Guitar Hero, so why wouldn't this be the game for me?
Reservoir Dogs DVD – Such a classic movie, it’d be good to watch again sometimes.
TheDutchman1979
TheDutchman1979 loves The Orange Box, doesn’t like RPGs and thinks that work should be banished forever.
Wish List:
Underwear – You never know when you are gonna need a spare pair...
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars – Because I need a good RTS on Xbox 360.
Subwoofer – I need one for my home theatre.
A Trunk Monkey – No car should be sold without one. They’re a new multi-purpose tool. Check it out at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8avOiTUcD4Y.
Xbox LIVE Vision Camera – So I can annoy my friends while playing Xbox LIVE Arcade games online.
A battleship – No one messes with a dude who owns a battleship.
WorldContainer
WorldContainer loves watching his three-year old daughter play Sonic the Hedgehog, doesn't like shifty Mass Effect squad members, and thinks that console fanboyism should be abolished forever.
Wish List:
An HD-DVD player for my 360 – Oh, how I luvs me some high-def pikcher shows.
The ability to level up my agility– I can hear an orb on the top of my apartment building, and it's driving me bonkers.
The Video Marketplace for Canada – I know, I know, we're getting it, but it's been on my wish list forever and it'd be a shame to take it off now.
Once... just once... I'd like it to rain Microsoft Points.... just once.
A second Guitar Hero guitar so my wife and I can play co-op – Can't find those darned things anywhere this time of year!!
A day in Jade's shoes – What a great gig that must be!!
TTR Dr Payne
TTR Dr Payne loves racing, doesn't like football and thinks that he should be worshiped forever.
Wish List:
Rock Band – I would like Rock Band for pretty obvious reasons, so my friends and I can rock out! We still have to decide who’s going to be the singer, but it’s safe to assume that no matter who we chose, we’re going to be plugging our ears so we don’t have to suffer the deafening sound of us attempting to sing.
“SuperBad” DVD – This is definitely one of the funniest movies I have ever seen – I can’t wait until I can watch it again at home. I was laughing so much when I saw it in theatres, it’s definitely a must see.
Xbox 360 Messenger Kit – With the child account issues on Xbox LIVE being fixed with the Fall Update, I can finally use MSN on my 360 giving me a reason to get this Chat Pad.
“The Simpsons Movie” DVD – I am a huge Simpsons fan and so naturally I went and saw this movie in theatres as soon as it came out and I just loved it.
Microsoft Points Card – With the Video Store now available in Canada I’m going to need more Points so I can watch some great movies! Unfortunately I won’t be watching them in High Def as my gaming TV is not HD.
Hockey Stick – A Canadian who plays hockey? No way! Yeah, I play hockey (not ice hockey mind you, just street hockey with friends.) My last two sticks have broken so I need a new one. I’m also a big fan of the Vancouver Canucks, GO CANUCKS GO!
GeeksS
GeekesS loves Xbox Canadian Live, doesn’t like racing games and thinks that Xbox Live should be around forever!
Wish List:
Rock Band – It comes out right around Christmas time, and it just shouts, "buy this for GeekesS this Christmas" to my friends and relatives!
Tim Horton's Tim Card– Coffee is my energy source for gaming! More coffee = more gaming!
Anything from The Pampered Chef – I've found a hidden love for cooking and am always interested in new cooking items!
Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 – I'm addicted to this game, something about dancing around to catchy dance tunes puts me in a great mood – no matter how terrible I do
Halo Master Chief mimobot– A 1GB USB Flash Drive with Halo content preloaded on it. Too cool!
A laptop – So I can take my forums on the road with me and never suffer from withdrawal!
JadeLive
JadeLive loves RPGs, doesn’t like waist-deep snow, and thinks that Guitar Hero III should be played at 11 forever.
Wish List:
Lots of HD-DVDs – My Xbox 360 HD-DVD player is calling out for more delicious HD goodness like “Troy,” the BBC’s “Planet Earth,” “V for Vendetta,” “Transformers” ... you get the general idea.
Eternal Sonata –There’s something about this beautiful Japanese RPG that I find endlessly compelling
A maid service – Less time spent cleaning the house means more time for gaming!
Mad FPS skillz – I wish I could wake up on Christmas morning with the innate ability to pwn n00bs, the ability to actually aim at an opponent while being fired at, the knowledge of which gun to use in various situations! Ah, a girl can dream...
Cute scarf & mittens – Amazing how every year I forget how nasty and cold winter, is and how every year I appreciate staying toasty while looking adorable.
A very Canadian Xbox Community Christmas – There’s really nothing I want more than for all my great friends in the Canadian Xbox community (and those I haven’t met yet!) to have a wonderful holiday season!
