Wow!  I forgot to add Renny Blaster to my list, btw.  Just put it under Magical Chase, if you would.

Both titles had three requests each.  :mrgreen:

Seriously wtf is the point.  Take some time and find some cheap games to put on there.  I've had a Turbo Duo since launch and I still have at least 10 or so cheap ass under $15 games on my SS list each year.

Like I said, those requests are generally on lengthy lists (30+ titles) filled with games that run the gauntlet from common cheapies to teh rarez that'll run many hundreds of dollars.  Such pricey titles could be winnowed out, sure, but what's the point and where do you stop the culling?  I'd hate to see people not include a game because the average price on ebay is $35, 'cause Santa might have it sitting in his pile of dupes obtained in economical lots or be able to add it to a yahoo japan order for cheap.

As long as there's enough known cheap games to pick from, who gives a f*ck if there's some pie in the sky requests?  Afterall, it is a wishlist.

Haha!  You know, in all honesty, they might have been on my daisakusen wishlist too.  I just add anything I'm interested in to that; it's mostly for me.  That's why I also supplied a short list along with my Secret Santa requests, hopefully with some not too uncommon requests.  I did a little ebay checking first to make sure I wasn't being too wishful!  The Daisakusen list was just given as a backup if they were.  I suspect most people who used that to supply a wishlist for this weren't also using it singularly for SS.  And I'm sure they knew they wouldn't be getting ultra rare titles they had on there, but hey, like you said, who knows?  Why not just throw whatever on there, see what you get.  I don't have (easy) access to Yahoo Auctions Japan (well, I did one trade through it years ago through Gaming Age Forums) nor do I have a stockpile of once cheap dupes, but someone out there does.

You guys always spoil me. The sending out of Turbob to my brothers here brings me a lot of joy. I'm going to have to make up for it next year.

I always suffix my PCEFX wishlist with plenty of cheap shit options - if all else fails, scrape my Amazon wishlist! It's actually nice to get surprised.

Though I have had a few "WTF" moments with my Santa partners in the past...like getting a list of 5 games that run $100+ each. C'mon man!

I didn't have a game over $30 on my wishlist, and included a trapdoor clause:

If you can't find any of these games for $30, send me whatever and If I don't have it I'll play it, if I do I will raffaru!

Bernie had the best wishlist ever though.

I will hopefully have a chance to obey after we get through our morning here, which starts pretty late since we're all adults.  Well, except for the two young animals in the house, one of which who will insist on being up early.

Y'know, I don't have kids, but this year I still found myself assembling Xmas presents after bedtime..little dog steps so she can more easily launch herself onto the couch.  No complaints, it was easy - I just found it amusing.
