Presents for my boys are always toys that require imagination (lego, wooden blocks, books) I spend a great deal of time with my kids and only a very small fraction of it is in front of tv or video games.
Video games are okay, but most don't teach kids to use their imagination. They are good for hand/eye coordination and problem solving techniques, but you don't have to have the latest console or games for that. I actually prefer play my Atari with my sons over any of the new games.
I noticed it stated before the real problem is advertisements. If you want to see the proof, put a 4 year old in front of a tv and they will tell you they want every toy that there is a commercial for.
