Welcome to GameShark's 2006 Holiday Buyer's Guide!

It's that time of year again! Sleigh Bells ringing, people lining up for console launches, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, football on high definition TV's and more gaming goodness being released to retail than you can shake a stick at! It's the time of year when gamers and the people that love them scramble to find the perfect gift. There sure are a lot of choices this year, and while many are pretty pricey, there are still lots of more affordable ways of getting an awesome gift without paying an awful price.

We've compiled our list of the best software and accessories for every popular format available including the PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance. We also offer some oddities and awesomeness in our Cool Stuff guide, and a handful of fun DVD's you'll want to pick up in our Entertainment Guide. And if after you've scoured this guide completely and can't get any decent ideas, feel free to stop by the Mad Catz Store for some great gift ideas as well. - James Fudge, GameShark.com.
