Dunno if it's a differnce between America and Europe but here it's quite rare that kids get that amount of stuff (well the rich do). I had to put my birthday and christmas present together to get my first Amiga with 512K expansion and second floppy. For my C64 I had to rob my piggybank and nag my parents to add the rest
. Every computer and console after the Amiga I paid on my own. I now some guys that are rather wealthy and even they refuse to buy their kids all latest consoles and mobiles. So having these parents those kids are quite lucky
