Just won a 100$ gift card to futureshop. What should I get?

For those who don't know futureshop is a Canadian tech brick and mortar retailer similar to Best Buy. They specialize in gaming consoles, computers, consumer electronics (tvs, camcorders cameras etc..) and the like.

Any ideas what I should pick up? Might spend more than 100$ but that's what the card is worth, though I'm not going to go crazy and pick up a plasma screen or anything.

update I found out that I had another 24 bucks on another gift card. I ended up buying 4 games (Titan Quest, Super Paper Mario, Mass Effect, and World of Warcraft [yes I have never played WoW]) with the 124 bucks in gift cards and 21 bucks of my own money.

No thanks have no use for a cell phone, or an ipod. The only part of it that interests me is the mobile wi-fi web surfing but I can do that on my laptop already. My father has an ipod touch and I have to admit the UI is sexy and very very well designed but I don't have any real use for the things.

I download all the TV series I watch off bittorrent. Can't get myself to buy TV series I don't know why. A blueray movie amongst other things is an option though.

Use it towards a Garmin Nuvi 205 or a Radeon 3870 or XFX 8800GT.

The graphics card is an option. Don't care for a GPS navigator. For one thing I don't drive. However I don't think I'll be getting a graphics card as their hardware peripherals and add in cards are way overpriced compared to other local dedicated computer stores.

Why would anyone want a picture of the Queen? Besides she's on our money if I ever have some burning desire to see her face.

Owned by BB you mean. Doesn't what you buy depend on what you need?

You're right they are now owned by best buy bust they have been the same type of retailer for a long time. As for what I buy it doesn't depend on what I need, it depends on what I want. I already have everything I need.

Posting from the store here, will probably pick up a game or two. Thinking of getting Super Paper Mario for the Wii and maybe a PC game or two.

In Canada? $60/month for only 400mb of data and 150 minutes. $115/month for 2gb.

Rogers just dropped their prices significantly because so many people were furious about that. Not that I'm at all interested in getting one.

Not interested in the Wii fit. Not that I couldn't use it of course but that's not my way to loose weight / get fit. I lost a lot of weight in the past and got in good shape and need to again but the Wii fit wouldn't be how I would ago about it. Good old fashioned normal non interactive exercise FTW.

I didn't say try to get fit with it... It's lots of fun and you can get wiiskii that also use the balancing board.

Besides, watching your SO try to do the hoola hoop is fun...
