What To Get A Millionaire Gamer For Xmas?

Posted by simoniker on from the building-own-mame-cabinet-not-allowed dept.

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'd hire a ground team to dig up all those lonely E.T carts.

    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.

    "What to get the man who has everything?" A Post-It note saying "Give away some of your stuff you greedy buffoon."

  4. What to get a millionaire gamer if money... by lincarnate · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...was no object? The same thing I'd get any gamer if money was no object;

    A box of N-Gages, and a sledgehammer.
