I'm not sure what I should get myself for my birthday on the 3rd.. I'll have a little over $400 on the day (Australian $), so I'll have enough for 1000 credits..
Or I could get the season 3 and 4 box sets of Farscape..
Or I could buy myself a PS2 and get GTA: San Andreas..
I can't make up my mind!

Well, I never liked GTA too much, and am not a fan of SciFi (or buying DVD's in general, I usually watch them once and never again unless they're comedy or anime), so the only advice I can give is credits.

Buy like, $50 of gum. And eat it all. It'll be funny, really.

*chin* If $400 is a lot to you which is how it sounds, i'd say don't spend it all on credits. Just imagine yourself getting bored of Lusternia two weeks later. A scary thought, I know, but it's possible.

Buy credits and download games off P2P. :ph34r:

Buy PS2, and wait for FFXI to be released.

EDIT: Isn't General supposed to be about Lusternia?

A lot of alcohol.

I'd spend mabey 100 on credits if you realy want it then pocket the rest. buy some gold or stocks with it. in a couple years it sounds like you'll want a car. trust me you will. and when you do every little bit of money tha tyou have in the bank helps.

I would look at the question as a money/time problem... DVD sets, last as long as you watch them, so thats normally easy to figure out..
Playstation, lasts maybe 3 years before nobody is playing that one anymore
Credits last as long as IRE is in business, since your charachter never gets deleted once you buy credits.

(p.s. I excpet a minor credit bonus for this plug)
