Wishlist 2008: Recession Edition for him

Compiled by Bennett Fuson

‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ – $13.99
In my opinion, this is the funniest movie in the Judd Apatow canon. Jason Segel, who was underappreciated in “Knocked Up” and is criminally funny every week on “How I Met Your Mother,” joins the regular Apatow ensemble, sans Seth Rogen, in a story about a TV show composer who is dumped by his famous girlfriend and flees to Hawaii…only to find his ex and her new beau at the same resort.

Pacers Tickets – $49.99 Club Level
The Pacers are on an upswing! Okay, maybe not an upswing, but in an effort to improve ticket sales, Larry Bird and Co. are wooing back fans with drastically reduced ticket prices. This is a fool-proof gift for those on your list who have a five year waitlist status for Colts tickets. Added bonus: Carmel alumni Josh McRoberts ‘05 has played off the bench numerous times this season.
Compared to: Colts Tickets – $230 Club Level

‘Rock Band 2’ – $71.99
As much as I love the “Guitar Hero” series, the fact of the matter is that although “Guitar Hero: World Tour” has some great songs, it pales in comparison to “Rock Band 2.” Not only does “Rock Band 2” have more extensive song/artist coverage (plus, additional track packs you can purchase), the game and guitar set are only $71.99, compared to “Guitar Hero: World Tour’s” $99.99 price tag for the same gear.
Compared to: “Guitar Hero: World Tour” – $99.99

Nintendo Wii – $249.99
There are people who would disagree with this choice, given that it really isn’t new or particularly special this holiday season. Those people are wrong. The Wii continues to outsell the X-Box 360 and the Playstation 3, both of which cost at least $50 more, and with the innovative motion-sensing technology, it’s no surprise. Plus, I’m pretty sure Wii Sport is a rough English translation for the Japanese phrase, “Fat people will never leave their houses again.
Compared to: X-Box 360 – $299.99
