::laughs:: It's so funny, because it's so true! This totally happened to me on my birthday with X2. Down to the detail about the aunt and uncle and the impossibility to buy for! But I used cunning wiles to avoid unwrapping the plastic, then privately approached my uncle and asked him if he would be offended if I switched it for the widescreen, so all was hunky-dory.

And now I'm off to LotR! Two and a half hours early, but I checked out the TTT:EE for the night to keep us company. Hurrah!
