When I was a kid it was always "batteries not included" and you had to wait 3 days before you could acquire a set to make your toy robot run. Now it is "memory card not included" or should I say "highly proprietary expensive memory card not included" . Somewhere deep down in the instructions of my daughters PS Vita I think it says: Dear Sony customer, you have just purchased a $200 paperweight until you give us another $80 for a special Sony memory card. Order now so that you may enjoy your Christmas present sometime in the new year - thank you for purchasing this fine Sony product. Grumble grumble.

I watched my 3 yr old granddaughter open up every gift and toss it aside. She settled on the Pez dispenser.

That's the good thing about having a teenage daughter. Christmas for her consisted of clothes, boots, jeans, make up mirror, etc.
She loved it all!
