Burn it...then throw the ashes at a homeless person.

Buy Canada

 

[Hit]

Save it up for a Macbook

 

[comtois]

get a 360. i just picked one up on ebay (brand new, arcade) for $80 shipped. spend the rest on dual layer DVDs and the stuff you need to flash the 360.

either that or drugs. you can get a lot of drugs for $200.

You can buy a lot of candy with that!

You could get the $180 4GB Archos 605, one of the best PMPs out, that has the ability to play unconverted xvid files at DVD resolution on its 800x480 screen, along with straight VOBs from a DVD, and the other standard formats. Also has wifi for a flash web browser, and streaming videos from a network.

Ummm don't know if you keep up on current market prices but Canada now goes for 350 euros..

I'm going to have to go with tony minkey on this, save it and then some day spend it on something worthwhile. When my grandfather died all of his grandchildren were given $100. Though that was over six years ago (the anniversary of his death was yesterday, in fact) I still have that one-hundred dollars to this day. Some day I'll spend it on something meaningful.

nah, someone labeled it an "xbox 306 arcade NIB, etc." and then put a but it now price of $55. after winning it i found out the woman selling it is a mother who was selling the 360 she got her kid but never gave to him because he got in trouble. his loss, my win.

ok, back on topic here: get the 80GB ipod video classic. at least that's what i'm getting with my next $200.

Why the hell would you buy drugs? Actually I couldn't tell if you were joking or not...

 

[mastermanna123]

Invest it into Detroit's automobile market...jk lol.

But seriously save up, and spend it on something meaningful (refer to what tinymonkeyt and thebobevil said).
A good way to save up is by opening a bank account, making a deposi, putting more money in over time (get a job for this), and watch it grow.

Looking at the economy (assuming you live in the US), save up your money, and when the worth of the dollar goes up, buy a yacht, or cruiser lol.

WATEVER YOU DO, WARNING:
Dont blow it all off on video games or other useless stuff. Do that when ur older. Tech advances everyday. There's even a new DS, and remodeled Wii, rumored to be released. The tech from last gen, are worthless peices of crap to me today.

Spend your money wisely...

how else are you going to get them?

You should probably go with your first instinct.
Scratch that.
Look deep down in your heart and ask your self, what do i want?
You'll find the answer.

1) Save up for a Wii, then go Wii hunting
Your choice here..

2) Get the PS2 edition of Rock Band
Waste of money compaired to the "next gen" editions

3) Blow it all on dealextreme and get nothing of real value
hehe, um....no

4) get an EGDE card and a 8GB MicroSDHC card
again, your call on a flash card, but the 8gb is to much, get a 2gb, I barely play the 40 games I have on my 2gb...

5) Get a good iPod
if you have to have your enitre music collection at your fingertips....

6) Buy a Powerful Green Laser Pointer from DX
why???

7) Buy Random Cool Things From EveryWhere
eh, get cool stuff that's on sale...

8) Buy a Crap load of Manga from Barnes & Nobles
why, when you can downloaded it from almost anywhere...

I'd say spend half, keep half. Save it for if you go somewhere fun.

Sad Update:

My Grandpa just died last night.

 

[Javacat]

That sucks. Was it expected? Do you think he wanted you to have the money so that he could see you enjoy it?

I'm sorry to hear that.

However, all the more reason to put the money towards something worthwhile.

It wasn't really expected, I don't know how it happened either.


AceGunman, I'm not sure what would be worthwhile-

My first thought is saving up for a car, or a new computer/laptop. What would you consider worthwhile?

Follow that mantra and you'll never end up with any tech.
