Nice one but what will a 14yrs old kid do with a camcorder

dreamcatcher · 31-10-2008, 07:41 PM

Ahh..just wish I had parents like these.

Get your computer revamped or get the PS3.

Hehe. Are yaar. How much will you invest in computer. Get something else. It's your B'day gift. Get something that is better.

Best way to do this is to go to mall like Croma or reliance digital or ezone. Roam around, get a list of what you liked, then we will discus.. that is bettter than shooting in the dark.

Get that 25k first

Psychosocial · 31-10-2008, 08:53 PM

^^No Croma or any other malls. Living in a small city sux...

desiibond · 31-10-2008, 08:56 PM

ah okay. what are the gadgets you have and what is your system config?

ring_wraith · 31-10-2008, 08:57 PM

Sell your PSP and iPod Nano and get an iPod touch. You won't regret it. With the remainder of the cash, get a graphics card.

desiibond · 31-10-2008, 09:01 PM

anyways, I am sticking to camcorder or something like that. Believe me, it's a lot of fun. be it trips or casual home videos.

Also get a puppy. Camcorder + puppy = lot of fun

one more thing is Hero/TVS electic scooter. No license requied. Anyone can drive it.

You dont need anything else.Save your dad's money.

red_devil · 31-10-2008, 09:15 PM

25K B'day gift for a 14 year old kid !!?!!

I'd suggest you go beyond any electronic item... how about buying some kinda high end personalized chair or something ?? <something similar to what Stephen Hawking uses

> that way you wouldn't have to get up from your chair for anything

{well, for most things

The weak gadget that you have here is cell phone. Get yourself a good phone.

COming to Guitar. You need to take guitar classes. For that you don't need anything better than a 5k basic guitar.

Get a guitar and a good cell phone. Enroll for music classes.

use s/w based synthesizer etc if you want to do R&D with music. Later you can get an amp etc etc

thewisecrab · 31-10-2008, 09:52 PM

Any investment in an instrument is a good investment
As you are into slipknot n stuff, A guitar is your best buy. you'll get the best of amps+elec. guitar for that budget

If you are really keen on guitaring though, start small with an acoustic guitar (about 4K) and enroll somewhere for tutoring. Once you have mastered that (in 3-4 months based on your speed). Use the remaining money to buy the best elec. guitar there is and then shred like Alexie Leiho

Or a Chancellor 5 piece drum set will be yours for 12K (19K for 7 piece+cymbals)
That will make your house come down

desiibond · 31-10-2008, 09:56 PM

^^ just house. He has capacity to blast entire colony

@KPower Mania, so, did you take music lessons before?

thewisecrab · 31-10-2008, 10:04 PM

Kpower, (why K power when name starts with "p", anyway)
Whot say?
@desiibond
An entire band can bring the area crashing down with angry neighbours at the door every 2 minutes. This is just a drum set

Trust me..I know

Psychosocial · 31-10-2008, 10:04 PM

I know keyboards and yes, I am enrolling for guitar classes with friends (planning on opening the first Death Metal band in Gujarat lolz).

E61i is a weak phone ? Are you sure ? Then I might consider buying a Palm Treo 750.

What keyboard? Which brand? Logitech?

Naaah I'm kidding.
Which brand do you have? and what do you know? Maybe you can sell off the old one, add that top the 25K and buy a new one

And about drum set, well, I prefer a guitar. And one of my friend already got a drumset so no need for another drummer

I have a Casio. Dunno model number but its quite big with LCD and stuff. But I dun wanna go the keyboard way too as one of my friend is an experienced keyboardist with a Yamaha keyboard and my main interest is guitar. Riffs are cool lolz.
