EPIC!!!
One of my kids (9 yr old) has asked for all the high school musical stuff, a laptop and an electric guitar with amp! Eldest has asked for a PS3 and all the Doctor Who stuff. Youngest is easy going though and is happy what he gets, we are currently thinking on the lines of Nintendo DS.

Lets just say that PS3 and laptop are probably not going to happen as the PS2 we bought 2 yrs ago got destroyed after 6 months and the discs are scratched to hell. So much stuff has also been spilt on the desktop I knocked together for them a lappy is not a good idea also.
uurhhghh… elmo… please, pass me the bucket…

Is it just me or do kids toys suck more than I thought they would these days?

I was kind of expecting to be impressed by the state of kids toys in 2008, and I really wasn't.
