Mine was Hydr0x and since he's in Germany, he went through Amazon for my gift (better than to be limited by the PAL/NTSC and zoning issues).

I got Mass Effect (my first-ever Xbox 360 game! Can't wait to get a console and play it) and Final Fantasy III DS.

And after reading that I got my package, he sent me a card. Thanks again, Hydr0x!

Glad you liked your gifts I couldn't get you Legend of Mana, so I figured the postcard book would tide you over until you could pick it up Glad you liked the Super Gameboy- I saw you have Space Invaders for the GB, I think it might have some extra features w/ the Super Gameboy.

Glad you liked your games I just wanted to add (for the one's reading) that she asked for Mass Effect. I'd never send out a 360 game to someone without the system otherwise

I'm not sure who my SS was but guessing from the address I've got an idea. I got a mixed bag of stuff of which I'm still not sure what to think of The gem of the set was a pristine condition Dialhex for the Japanese GBA, one of the Bit Generations titles. This is certainly a very nice gift and will surely lead to me collecting the bit Generation. So, thanks a lot for that, I'm giving it a try later today

The other games (and I'm talking about a load of games here, 7 gb games, 1 gamecube and 2 dreamcast), well, I'm not sure what happened there. It's obvious they were picked, because DC & GC were on my want list, what I don't get is how they could be exactly the games I cannot use for my collection (as these have PAL equivalents) when I specifically mentioned hundreds of games I could use and gave out an owned list (which included PAL version of the two dreamcast games). Maybe you got the lists wrong!?! It's obvious you really tried and send a lot of stuff (hell, shipping set you back 12USD) so it's a real shame I'll end up without them :/ The GB games are similar, they are all JAP (which would be okay) and loose (when I mentioned I'd rather have one boxed than a couple loose). I'll certainly give them a try, although I got a few of those as PAL.

So, overall, I got a nice package (Dialhex alone would count as nice, and I don't want to forget the really nice GC promotional item). It's just a shame that it was somewhat lessened by the "huh, I already got this..." thoughts during unpacking, especially as you could have saved a load of shipping costs if you had just sent the GBA game.

Glad you liked it. I'm not a PS2 or GBA guy, so I basically had to look on IGN for the good games Feel free to pass that CD along next year. Or keep it if you really like it that much .
