Regardless of what holiday you celebrated this season, PVR Wire poses the question: What the hell did ya get? Item's don't have to be PVR related, although we'd really like to know whose wife is cool enough to buy them a Series3 and whose wife hates them enough to buy them am an HR20. Just teasing DirecTV fans.
Did you score an Xbox 360, Wii, or PS3? Did you grab any items on the bleeding edge of tech that will make us all drool? Please share your stuff in the comments below.
I'll start us off.
Strangely, I didn't get any personal video recording products this year. I got a new ride that randomly came with a free guitar (most bizarre marketing scheme ever) and a Sirius S50 that's essentially a PVR for satellite radio.
I also picked my wife up a digital picture frame for her desk, which I was surprised to find plays audio and video files. Coupled with one of those record directly to memory card devices Brad and I are always talking about, a digital picture frame could actually make a nice clandestine PVR for your workplace that could bring new meaning to the phrase "water cooler talk". Why "water cooler talk" when you can "water cooler watch"?
Let us know what you received (or what you gave) below.
1. I had a good Christmas. Sold a computer and bought a Wii. Got a 80GB Ipod Video from work, which I don't need and returned to BestBuy and got a Xbox 360. Plus games, new DVD burner, etc...my wife loves me...
