Got Rockband but...

[Gothgar]

My wife said it is my xmas present so I have to wait... should I pop it open and play it, then tape the box closed again before she finds out or wait?

I say yes, but only for the potential hilarity that may ensue in the form of a follow-up thread.

Gifts for a spouse are stupid. If my wife or I want something, we buy it and use it. Your wife will find out if you play it, and she will be pissed. Better find a different approach to get it open.

I know of the forum, but I didn't wish to speak of the game, more of a moral dilemma, which belongs here right?

KNOWN gifts are stupid I will agree like "What do you want.... Ok I'm buying you that then" Thats stupid. But certainly every year my wife and I will find something that the other will LOVE but doesn't know they exist or something silly or something one-off...whatever.

But I hate lists and KNOWN presents. WTH is the point of that then between spouses.

Yeah, I agree with OP on this one. I almost posted wrong forum untill I re-read the post.

It's still a retarded dilemma. 😛 Btw, I don't believe in Jesus or Santa so I really really don't care about the gift thing.

Well... she knew I wanted and apparently has been trying to score a copy, but its been a toughy to find around here, we were at Target this morning and they had about 4 of them, so we picked it up.

Don't open it without telling her. What you do is annoy her about it enough that she just lets you open it.

 

[bigrash]

I say open it. That game is so much fun. Plus I wanna see pics of you once you get beat up by your wife

 

[daveymark]

nvm

Hard to find? I just went by the Gamestop this weekend and they had a huge stack of them in the middle of the store.

 

[dethman]

i have rockband. there is so much damned packaging in that thing you would never be able to fit it back into the box. trust me.

 

[aplefka]

Why can't they release this for Wii? That's my dilemma. Do I go out and buy a 360 for one game once I get my next financial aid check?

You finally got that dildo you were to shy to ask for huh?

 

[potato28]

Just open it and play for a little bit. She won't notice unless you play when she's home.
