With Christmas nearly upon us and the KitGuru community full of nerds, geeks and lovable enthusiasts, there will no doubt be a lot of games and a lot of tech coming down the chimney in the next few days. The question is, what are you all hoping will show up?
Technology is of course a much more common place present for people now than it once was. No longer is it just the nerds of the world who look forward to something electronic under the tree. But that's not necessarily the case for things like graphics cards, or processors.
Are you looking for a new GPU to bring your gaming up to scratch? Are you treating yourself to a new case to show off at the next LAN? Perhaps a swanky set of headphones so that you can compete with the 12 year olds' screaming matchesin your next game of CoD?

Personally I have all the hardware I need right now – there are some advantages to working at a review site – but there are a number of games I'm hoping a family member spots on my wishlist. Rimworld looks promising, though I'm trying not to get too into Early Access titles as much, as invariably you hit a content wall before the game is finished.
Thumper is one title that has me excited. Once I have my VR gear set up in my new home, that's one I'll be buying myself if a family member doesn't. There's of course a new expansion for Age of Empires II which warrants a few days of playing through and if my spouse hasn't considered buying me the Banner Saga II, we may need to have words.
KitGuru Says: So have at it guys. Which games and tech are you hoping to be playing around with while the Christmas dinner congeals in your guts?
Hoping?
What universe are you from guys?
It’s not about “hoping”, it’s about “being able to afford” and “having enough spare money for the things you’re craving for” and then calculating whether the price/performance ratio is worth it. For instance I upgrade my GPU only if the next one is at least 3 times faster (8800 -> 660 -> 1060).
I hope to get GTX 1080 Ti, Intel® Core™ i7-6950X, 128GB of DDR4 RAM, 2x1TB SSD in RAID1 along with a 40″ 5K 10bit HDR 144Hz OLED display (not sure if the one actually exists).
I had hoped to get my Wii U by now, but Amazon’s order has yet to arrive, and although the replacement they sent is supposed to arrive tomorrow, it’s not even showing as shipped on the UPS site, so let’s just hope I will get it by the new year.
Don’t sell yourself short, honestly I want a 34″ 8k 240hz OLED display. I can afford it, but one does not exist sadly. =(
I hoped to get gtx 1070 to replace my aging r9 280x
I just want to get a new processor, bcs my g3220 is not good with the old, but still works well HD7970. Im looking for second-hand i5-4460, or something similar. Of course, in the meantime, dreaming about a new set of next-generation processor, graphics card, SSD, ultrawide monitor, etc. but this is not for me by now, maybe someday 😀
I dont think so…
