Been wanting the pro drums kit for Rock Band 3... Wife never wants to buy me stuff I actually ask for.

She's like, "But then it won't be a surprise!"

Talk to her mom or your mom and tell them to mention to your wife that you "told them" you wanted the drums.

You didn't tell your wife (directly) and maybe she'll fall into the trap.



Thanks mredskins, I try.

Surprise her and get her an electric shaver.

I've got a roomba, does a decent job, pretty much like Schneed says it gets you by until you can do a normal vacuum, definitely doesn't replace it though.

Yup that's where I got mine, think I paid $100

Buster as much as I disagree with you politically, that's some great stuff you are doing for your kid. You are a good person bud.

My wife and I decided when our 2nd daughter was born that we'd get each other one meaningful gift each year and focus the rest of Christmas on the girls. We tend to get things as we need them, so we don't need much and it's much more fun buying gifts for the kids.

Bose is seriously overrated for the price, there are less expensive options that sound just as good, if not better

Could be the case, but I have Bose in my car and home, and I think it sounds pretty great. That iPod sound dock is the size of a piece of notebook paper, and it really pumps out some serious music. Anyway, I didn't pay for it, so it's whatever. Works just fine.

As far as my car, I pay a few bucks a month extra for the Bose premium audio package, and it thumps. Real nice, clean solid lows, mids, and highs. I test drove the Altima without the Bose, and believe me, the upgrade is well worth the $8/month increase in payment.

Hmmm, how much is the Bose upgrade total? I got my whip hooked up for the first time ever through a car audio joint earlier this year. Even if that upgrade is no more than $500, you can get a decent amp and a couple pairs of two-ways that would cost around that with installation. I'd guarantee it'd sound much better than Bose. After you pay your car off and you're interested in that kind of stuff, start looking into brands like Rockford Fosgate, Boston, Infinity and JL.

To be clear, I leased a new Altima this fall, I didn't buy it. I'm friends with the owner/GM of Chevy Chase Cars, so he hooked me up nicely. I don't remember how much total the audio package was, but I'm only paying $8/month extra. It's a 36 month lease, so I guess $288? I'd have to pull out all the paperwork to know the exact amount. Pretty good deal I'd say.

I'm very familiar with the other brands you mentioned. In my early 20's, I was really into car audio systems. I decked out my old 1999 Acura CL (It was 2001 at the time, so it was a sweet ride) with a Rockford Fostgate system. It really kicked.

Bose must have some deal with Nissan, because it's the only option for a "premium audio package."

Don't get me wrong I think the Sounddock sounds great, it's just a little overpriced and you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere. But if someone bought me one, I wouldn't complain.

Best Buy has the Bose one and a few others. I tested them by closing my eyes and having my wife push the buttons to start them up. A few of them (priced at like $75) are crappy. But once I got up to the Bose, the Sony one I linked, and another one, I couldn't tell the difference.

Maybe Bose is right with their research creating amazing sound, but if it really is better my ear isn't capable of telling the difference. I guess some people can, but not me. So I figured go with the Sony, it's cheaper.

Bose are good but I rather have Polk any day when it comes to home theater.

Back in the day when I worked in Marriott sales , Bose was one of my clients. they built their own mountain to place their headquarters on top in Framingham Mass. It is so sick! They have all these different demo rooms set up and stuff.
