Last week I ordered an ATI Remote Wonder to replace the one I had to sell while I was unemployed. This week I bought a All In Wonder Radeon 9000 for $30 off the FS/FT forums once I figured out I was able to fix the Volvo.

I tried that All In Wonder before and it didn't work that well. I was guessing the problem with the TV tuner and Video card in one card. Anyway, not gonna wast my $ on that again. I have a PVA now that say it can even record the show that it displays. Not sure how well it record but I'll try it out.

XBox and PS2 are cheap now but I think XBox still can't play Video DVD. Kinda stupid since it have a DVD drive and can't play Video DVD. But I know PS2 is able to play, just not fun using the game control so it's better to buy the remote control for the DVD playing but then some of them are free now.

Whoa, $30 for an AIW9000? :Q

I'm getting myself a bigass party and inviting all my friends over to come partake. As corny as it sounds, I really don't have anything that I want that badly at the moment.

Edit - Well, okay, I want ... but whatever. I can certainly live perfectly well without them. :)

By the time I am done buying gifts for everyone else (kids, wife, parents, nephew and sister) I sure as hell won't have any spare cash for myself. Not only that but my wife's birthday is in a few days so I get that added expense. :(

I just bought an Armani suit and an Pentax Optio S4 camera. I think that is enough spending for Christmas.

I'm gonna get a new car to replace my old one. Going from a RAV4 to a Matrix.

I currently have an 8500DV AIW in my HTPC that is amazing. I PVR with it, game with it, everything. The 9000 is for my personal box. Not gonna be much faster in games than my current GF3, but with the tuner I can watch TV on my desk too.
