Choosing your perfect Holiday buy can be a bit confusing, specially when you do it on the last minute. So as we count down the days leading to our 13th month pays and bonuses, I will try to feature every now and then some gift (could be for yourself or for someone else) suggestions to make your season complete.

Sure, the Nintendo Wii ($289.99) has been the Christmas buy sales leader since 2006 but I'm no longer sure for this year. You see, a few months back the Xbox 360 has been repriced lower than the Wii. The Xbox 360 Arcade can now be bought at only $199.99 (P9,575).

The Arcade comes with a wireless controller, a 256MB memory card, an HDMI output port, and five Xbox LIVE Arcade games. If you feel however that the puny memory capacity of this entry-level version is just not enough, you can consider getting the Xbox 360 Pro which at $299.99 (P14,362) will give you more, like a 60GB storage, a headset, a network cable, an HD AV cable and compatibility to over 300 Xbox games.

Since prices here in the Philippines for the basic model start at P 20K ($420.30), I'm strongly considering trying out Amazon. They ship to international destinations at reasonable rates. You may check out Amazon's offer/s with the widget on the right.

How about you? What's your gadget buy this Christmas?
