1 xbox - 150
1 Copy of Halo - 20
1 Reserve copy of Halo 2 - 50

Having an xbox with Halo 2? Priceless.

If you don't have an xbox, i'd get one.

Instant Speakers!

SoundPads stick-on speakers transfer sound to any surface you stick them on. SoundPads convert posters, bookcases, tables, doors - any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers! Sound quality varies depending on the surface you peel and stick them on, so be creative!

These are designed to stick permanently to the location to which they are adhered. A bit of trial and error in choosing where to mount the sound pad is recommended. For example, you might find improved sound quality in one area of a framed picture by sliding the pad on its surface (before peeling to expose the adhesive), so be creative *before* you give these a permanent home...

I wonder if these work, and how the sound quality is? It says it makes the surface "thump" with sound. I wonder if they mean that literally. I'd love to turn my entire desk into a speaker.

GPS units are fun. You have to travel a lot or be outdoors a lot (hiking, kayaking, whatever) to make them really worthwhile though.

I've got the first ones they made, the SoundBug, and it works pretty good. It make the surface that it's on vibrate like the cone on a speaker. The sounds isn't the best quality but it's pretty good considering that you're using a surface that isn't made to transmit sound.
