Well for X-Mas my mom let me go on ebay and buy some stuff. Heres what I picked up:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=187&item=3062603986
-Since brand new WSC's go for about $40 on ebay, I figured for an extra $10 why not get the 3 Final Fantasy games to go along with it? Also, will it be very difficult for me to play through these games without knowing any japanese? I mean a few years ago I purchases pokemon silver for GBC, it was the japanese version and I played it for about 50:00 and made it really far. It wasnt the easiest thing to do but I eventualy memorized what each japanese word meant in my menus and such by remembering its symbols.

-I thought the mario shirt was pretty cool, and a pillow case to go along with it, thought it would be cool to have a mario pillow :)

-What the heck I figured I would never come across mario puzzles ever again. Even if they are only 100 piece puzzles its something my friends will never have. And at only $2.75 each, how can you go wrong?

-My most favorite catch of the day. This sign sure is gonna look cool in my room, Im gonna use it for a light, and does $50 seem fair for this? its pretty damn big, 38 inches long 8 inches high (Still need to find out shipping though)

And incase you guys were wondering my username on ebay is not anniepink1, thats my moms name. If shes paying for it she gets the feedback ;)

Cool, I'll probably suggest this idea for my parents since they don't know what the hell to get me.

Yea i cant believe nobody bought it, the system is like $40 and each game goes for like $15, so I think $55 for all 4 items is a pretty good steal.

Excellent idea on to get Christmas gifts. I wish they had eBay when I was younger. :-)

Nice on the Wonderswan. I want one.

PDorr3, congrats on the sign. I got one like it that I got from the toy store I used to work in when they were going to throw it out. Mine also has a GameCube plastic sheet that slides in on the other side.

Yea I also just picked up guilty gear petit 2 on wonderswan color also since I think i will need a game that does not require me to know japanese.
BTW, are there any websites to help me read japanese? I would like to learn...

Just to let you know reading Japanese is like 10 times harder then speaking it!

Believe it or not, being a current japanese student, I find it to be the other way around. Perhaps it's a matter of opinion.

so do you guys think I will ahve a hard time navigating through the FF games? I mean I dont care about the stories, as long as I wont be stumped on where to go. I will just print out the translation guides over at gamefaqs for item names and such.
