Holiday shopping is hard. There is so much going on like catching up on all the hottest games that came out in November that sometimes you just don’t have time to go out, brave the malls and deal with lunatic people who would gladly trample each other to save seventeen cents on an outdated plasma TV. But, you still have to buy gifts for the loved ones in your family. And with each item, we have included a helpful link to purchase the item without ever having to leave the comfort of your home.
Hardware
It couldn’t be Christmas without a big and expensive gift for “Santa” to put under the tree. Now, while you most likely have one for yourself, your best gaming friend may not be as hardcore as you are and isn’t going through his XBox 360 dashboard using Minority Report type controls of the Kinect.
Like we talked about in our review, the Kinect is fun and a great addition to any XBox 360 household. Just make sure that the person you are buying it for has enough room in their living space for it to work properly.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops coming soon, it’s no surprise there are going to be two collectors editions, the Hardened and the Prestige, coming out exclusively for the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.
First, the Hardened Edition. With the Hardened Edition, consumers will receive four exclusive multiplayer maps, a Black Ops Avatar costume and a custom Black Ops limited edition medal. Gamestop.com is listing the Hardened Edition for $79.99, the average price for collectors editions of games.
With the Prestige Edition, this is where things get a little crazy. In the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer trailer, we saw for the first time the RC-XD. The RC-XD is a remote controlled car that not only lets players shoot through levels at blinding speed avoiding enemy fire while relaying video of other parts of the battlefield, it also gives the player a chance to detonate a small bomb at the feet of their opponents.
