What To Get A Millionaire Gamer For Xmas?
Thanks to CNN Money for their article discussing gifts for the obscenely rich videogamer, as they buck the trend of budget-conscious holiday game shopping and try to pick "the nifty gifts the uber-wealthy will receive this holiday season from their uber-wealthy friends." Picks include Tsunami Visual's TsuMo Deluxe, a $20,000 arcade game which has an adapted version of Crimson Skies as a game option, and Hanaho Games' $5,000 ArcadePC Deluxe, an officially Capcom-licensed 50-game arcade machine which is apparently "extraordinarily popular among professional athletes." If money was genuinely no object, what gaming goodies would you buy for yourself and your friends this holiday season?
I dont know about you guys, but this problem comes up time and time again and just haunts me! What to do, ohhh, what to do?!?!

I'd hire a ground team to dig up all those lonely E.T carts.
that $20 mil space ticket sounds too good to be true, for example...
Two chicks at the same time.
Why am I, the non-millionaire, getting gifts for the millionaire gamer?
Can someone forward this list to a couple of millionaires and let them know I'd like these things? Hell, I'll be happy with just a Gamecube and a copy of Double Dash.

Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
...was no object? The same thing I'd get any gamer if money was no object;
A box of N-Gages, and a sledgehammer.
All generalizations are inaccurate...except that one about gen....fsck it.
A Cave, with all the graphics systems (Linux available from SGI), will set you back a few units of currency more than 20K. I have seen a demo of Quake on this thing, so there is at least one game you can play on it.
I'll do it for cheesy poofs.
You could buy them 235,000 offshore programmers...
Make them into a sculpture of the Goatse.cx guy and leave it on Spielberg's driveway with a big bow around it?
