I love toys and gadgets and every once in a while I like to get my wishlist down on paper. So, all this week I went about writing down my top 10. I’m sorry I can’t help it…I love these kind of lists.
I also sent out the bat signal in my social network to see what everyone else wanted. Here you go:

Slingbox may be the best invention ever. I use it on my Q every day and love it when I am traveling abroad.
Do you have a preference between HD-DVD or Blu Ray? Personally I think I might just stick to aiming for an upscaling DVD player for now and wait out the war.
Jerad – no preference. Although, if i were to have one it would be for xbox over PS3. But guitar hero is sick, so whatever that is available on, ill probably go with.
