I'm sure we all have stories of times when our parents or someone else gave us a gift that was video gaming related that just excited us to no end or simply brought us copious amounts of joy.
My personal story was receiving my first Xbox with Halo 2. I had played Halo for the first time at a friends house and was completely enamoured, I'd never played anything like it. I pretty much spent the entire night at my friends house just replaying campaign levels. When I got home I told my parents I NEEDED and Xbox and Halo. They weren't so convinced of my dire need so it took a while, but 8 months later just before my birthday they went out to get groceries. When they came back they asked me to help unload the car. When I got to the car and opened the back door there was a brand new Xbox with Halo 2 and an extra controller. I was ecstatic beyond imagining, it was not only the best video gaming gift I'd ever received, it was honestly one of the best days of my life.
