It’s never too early to plan gifts, especially for yourself.
Since I live in Vietnam, the only time I really buy stuff is during Christmas, when I return to the US.
Here are some things I’ve been looking at:
- Lightsaber Construction Kit: these recently went on clearance, would be interested in in for around $40 (original $100+), but I hear there not quite the same super quality as normal Master Replicas. My feeling is I will not be getting one.
- Dark Knight DVD: well, of course.
- Mcfarlane Halo Master Chief Figure: just want one, probable end up getting Series 2 or 3, though I like 1 the best.
- X-Box 360: price cuts are imminent, and I hope rumors of a holiday pack-in are true. Like Halo 3.
- X-Box 360 HD DVD Addon: It’s possible to get a new one around $40 already, and I’m hoping it’ll go cheaper around December, hopefully just people/retailer finally clearing the stuff out, maybe even with cheap movie bundles. Especially with Black Friday.

On HD DVD:
- Battlestar Galactica S1 (this is still pretty expensive)
- Harry Potter HD DVD Set or just: ($60 on Amazon, and less than $10 per title seperately)
- Order of the Phoenix
- Goblet of Fire
- Prisoner of Azkaban
- Transformers: not sure if I really want this. Like Kyle, I wasn’t a fan of the movie so much. If it’s $5, probably will do it since it’s supposed to be a great example of hi-def.
- The Game: this isn’t supposed to be so great on HD DVD, but it will be much better than the non-animorphic DVD
- The Matrix Collection
- Sopranos S6 Part 2 (less than $30 on DeepDiscountDVD, HBO series are always closer to $100)
- Batman Begins
- Bourne Ultimatum
- The Prestige: I loved this movie, already own it on DVD. This version would be an import, so price would be an issue here.
Pictures of the some of these things are below:
