Hey guys, at my dad’s place of employment they had some safety regulation contest to win a gift certificate to certain stores. Well my dad won the grand prize of $4,000 to his choice of a few places (best one being Circuit City)… so since he is such a generous guy he gave me and my sister $250 each to spend… So what should I get at Circuit city for $250???

Lookin for suggestions

I have a decent digicam. I just rent movies, but blanks is an option. He mentioned that he might want to buy a digital camcorder. He was looking for one in the $300 range. I might just tell him to use my portion to buy a bad ass one and let me borrow it any time.

Also thinking of a new headunit with satellite capabilities… but $250 won’t buy much of one… I’m spoiled with my 6 year old Pioneer DEH-8000

I have a DVD burner, got the blockbuster movie pass and I’m thinking about getting Netflix for all the box sets. My blockbuster sucks on the box set part.

PSP would be nice but I already have my phone… the only thing the PSP does is play games… which I do too much of as it is. Sat. radio was a high consideration but I have so many CDs I dont want to pay for even more music… I have a decent digi cam so i went the next step up…

I threw my portion in on that dvd camera. My dad was plannin on buying a pretty dcent Mini-DV cam but I had him spend my portion on top of that and just got a nice dvd one. So thats what I decided on.
