    Default I have about $280 and no idea what to spend it on.

    Literally as the title says. I have $280, or £140. :3

    I'm split between computer hardware, xbox 360 games, clothes and random things like headphones and stuff.

    Anyway, any suggest would be great. Doesn't have to be anything I'm torn between, just something that's interesting I guess...
    Anyway, some things to keep in mind.

    My computer already has 2GB ram, an 8800GTS and is generally seen as "good" by most people, so, hardware isn't so important.

    I intend to get a PS3 next year. So, wait a year and then suggest.

    If you're going to suggest a site, I live in the UK, so, don't. Unless it's in the UK of course, in which case. Yay for you.

    I tend not to buy what I can get free. Aka PC games.

    I don't intend to get a Wii, so, no.

    In terms of clothing I'm a C36" W30" and L32". I tend to stick to emoish clothing, but, all suggests are valued.

    In the UK xbox 360 games are about $60-80 however currently the sales are on, so expect them to be about $60, just in case you suggest too many games that is...

    I know there are a lot of threads like this... However, I appreciate any help.

    I think that's about it...

    Maybe one day, but not right now.

    I don't have a reply for that.

    If you're not going to get a guitar the only option is to buy a fiddle.

    I already own both Assassin's creed and Bioshock, I even got the figure! (Yes, I know I'm starting to sound like the person who gets everything they want...)

    I'll check those places out. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Jakuza...

    Hmm.

    I don't have...

    - A large selection of clothes.
    - A Quad core processor.
    - A wife/husband bought from a foreign country.
    - COD4?
    - A belt. o.O
    - There's a bunch of stuff, I think.

    Shit, make sure to get the belt, first. :P

    If you do more comp gaming, than 360 gaming, get the quad-core.

    I was also planning on getting CoD4 after experience the awesome online. Thats your 3rd choice.

    About the whole..wife..husband subject......LETS GET MARRIED, BABY!

    You must not have seen Google's stock lately, he could afford what, 1/3 of a share?

    Google is like 700$ a share last time I looked. Yes, I do keep up with the stock market every now and then.

    Those dolls arent much fun to play with...
    How about wasting it with a ******?

    That's a bad idea xD you have to sell and buy on ther ight times to make profit outa it " so it means you have to check lots of diffrent things xD like if Your google stock is going higher buy more and soon it starts to lower you sell some. This way you make profit but it takes atleast more then 10hours of your time >.> and what i read he's still in school so those 10hours go to school instead so he doesn't have the time for it :P Correct me if i'm wrong tho


    @Cingal, buy more furry stuff? Or get a gf and buy some bunny maid suit for her or a cat maid suit :P

    Buy some nice clothing so you have a reason to go outside and show off instead of sitting on your chair all day.

    I can only think that by saying that you think you sound like you get everything you want, you probably do have everything you want right now. :3 You could keep the money for a special occasion, an emergency, or just be creative with it. You could donate to a charity of your choice too! You could fund and start a small project, or invest in someone else's. I guess you could just spend it on something you'll later regret buying because you got no enjoyment or use out of it, however I suppose that depends on your personality.

    Maybe you should just spend it on a genpet? They're oh so cute, and it would be nice to give one a home! Just click here to check it out! Yeah, genpets... hehe.

    You are perfectly capable of deciding for yourself.
    If you need to go to others to ask how to use your money, then you probably don't need to use it it in the first place.
    It's actually quite pompous to do so, and you probably realize that by now.
    What an interesting way to put it.
    You made my day a little better, this is actualy witty.
