Electronics Top Holiday Wish Lists
November 5, 2007

So what if they aren't cute and cuddly! The majority of guys and gals are hoping for electronics presents this holiday season, according to a survey sponsored by Circuit City.
Of the 3,000 polled, 65% of men and 41% of women said that electronics is their top gift choice. Within the electronics category, both genders said they were crossing their fingers hardest for flat-panel TVs, at 46% and 36%, respectively. 
Sorry folks, neither Blu-ray nor HD DVD was mentioned as one of the hotly anticipated tech items. 
But retailers are using the just launched $399 40 GB Playstation 3 in flat panel TV bundling offers. At Best Buy, you can pick up a 40-inch Sony Bravia LCD TV and essentially get a 40 GB PS3 for free, plus additional savings. Over at Circuit City, you can also get a Sony Bravia LCD TV and PS3 bundle, saving several hundred from orginal pricing.
So what if people aren't exactly saying they want high-def players! The hardware might just show up under their trees anyway.
As far as what other gadgets men are hoping to score for the holidays, 12% said computers; 9%, GPS navigational items; 9%, digital cameras; and 7% video game systems. Besides flat panel TVs, 19% of women say they want digital cameras; 13% computers; 8% GPS navigation.
