What did everyone spend their money/gift cards on, if anything yet?

Me, I didn't get much I asked for, so I went on a mini spree yesterday. I bought the following:

Scarface box set DVD (finally! this thing is fucking sweet, best box set I've ever seen)
Xbox Project Gotham Racing 2
Xbox Midway Arcade Treasures
Xbox GTA Double Pack
Blue xbox controller S
PC Battlefield 1942 Deluxe edition.

Thinking about using the rest towards getting a new videocard. Maybe a Radeon 9600XT.

I haven't spend all the booty yet, but I did pick up Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Activision Anthology yesterday. Now I need to spend the rest on either anime or manga... haven't decided which...

I didn't get any Christmas loot, so I didn't buy anything. :(

I'm hemming and hawing between getting a Gamecube or a 9600xt.

On one hand, my aiw7500 is getting long in the tooth.
On the other hand, my newest console is a Dreamcast, and I want to get some quality modern gaming on. Gamecube+GBP vs 9600.

Not enough coin and too much shtuffs to want ;P

I've got a $10 BB gift card, and $100 cash. I need to either trade my copy of Harvest Moon fo Fire Emblem, or buy a copy. I'm leaning to trading (If I find someone), but I don't know what to do with the rest. Suggestions?

I didn't get any money or gift certificates so I am going to have to buy the things myself... not really into buying more games at the moment... I want to beat the games I got first...

The only money we got was for the intention of buying something for the family. Otherwise I would get this.

I got a $20 Best Buy Gift Card from some relatives. It was either money towards a GameCube or some PSX games. I chose The Walking Tall Trilogy.

I got $250 in cash. So far I've ordered Virtual Skipper 2 & Virtual Skipper 3, and I've bought Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 & Railroad Tycoon 3. And the remaining $50 is reserved for Microsoft Train Simulator 2, as soon as it comes out. Hopefully I'll be getting more money for my birthday in a few days, so I can get some more of the games on my wishlist. I could use another $250 already! I was tempted to get a PS2, but that would only get me a system with a good MOD chip right now. So I'm waiting until they drop the price to $99. I was also tempted to get a rare game that I want, but that would've taken the whole $250, and I decided I'd rather have a variety of new games.

My wife and I decided to get parts to build a new Franken-PC as our current one is dying.

Ordered a pretty blue case, Chaintech NForce Socket A motherboard, AMD Athlon XP 2200+ CPU and 512 MB of RAM.

FINALLY we'll be "up to date" at least for a week.
