I got a new XBOX360. I bought one the first month it came out and it has lasted until now... that's like 6 years. It finally popped an E74 code last month. I'm actually going to take the new one back and have my old one repaired... guy here in town I have verified as legit does E74 fix's for $40. I know guys who've gone through 5 or 6 of them and keep buying new ones.
I really want a new Nikkor 18-200 lens for my D5000... but mucho $$$.

on a game-related note, my 5.5 year old ps3 is still going strong. It's the first gen 60 gig that does hardware emulation for ps2 (which I haven't used)
my dad is grilling tonight. but not for me. he's your state and i'm in your prior state.

But the 18-55 is a bit limiting for some stuff. I'm seriously considering the 55-200 and a 2x teleconverter to keep it all cheap. The 18-200 would be ****, but the Nikkor is $800. I may go with the Sigma 18-200 at $400... for what I do, it'll be awesome if not as awesome as the Nikkor.
A used offbrand 70-300 w/2x teleconverter would be ******* legit for spying on my neighbors with a tripod.
I'm still doing some homework, but to avoid carrying to much stuff and keep the price down, the 18-200 Sigma is pulling ahead. Tamron sells an 18-200, but too much bad press I think makes the Sigma a better deal even if it doesn't have the optics of the Nikkor.

Enjoy your Sigma, I hope the plastic **** internals last more than a month for you. I've experienced the horrors of Sigma first hand. Nikon, Tokina, or nothing.
