Not too long ago, we told you about a Consumer Electronics Association prediction that sales of some gadgets would actually go up despite the current economic woes.

The CEA said sales of flat-panel TVs and gaming hardware should do well during the upcoming holiday season even as consumers seek to rein in their dollars amid the ongoing financial uncertainty.

Whether or not that proves to be the case, it got us wondering. If you're among the many consumers watching your bank account more carefully than usual, which bit of gadget goodness, if any, will get axed from your holiday shopping list? As always, if we missed anything, be sure to let us know in the Talkback section below.

In order for me to nix something, it would have had to been on my list in the first place. A new MacBook Pro was on my list and is staying. But a Sony eReader has been removed. My iPhone is doing a pretty good job as a stand-in.

The TV is the only thing on the list that isn't completely over-hyped crap in the first place, and I already have one that's good enough for my digital but non-HD cable service.

The MacBook stays (my Vaio is getting a bit ancient). Nothing else on the list is even remotely desirable). The Wii stays on the list too, as well as a decent Samsung HDTV.
