If I were in the cyberpunk universe of Deus Ex and had the yen/dollar/credits, these are the augments I'd get. Screw those Purity First dudes, I want to be bionic.

Easy one to start us off: Bionic arms would win me so many arm wrestling contests. I could use that hustling money for a second bionic arm. And then go save Sonya Blade.
So many ways to view the world with bionic eyes: zoom in, x-ray, infra-red and something like that iPhone app that tells you what restaurant or store you're at, because signs are hard. Maybe get one that shoots laser beams too, I haven't decided if that's really a smart idea (but it totally is.)
Bionic legs, perhaps? Save me a job walking around. Though I might just go for wheels. I figure we'd still have all these useless wheelchair ramps after we'd given disabled people new bionic legs, so someone would need to use them.
Absolutely. Since mine is about to explode from my lousy diet, I'm legitimately really kind of hoping we have these by 2027.
Big ol' Babelfish in my ear. Not the Star Trek brain worm, but rather the friendlier sci-fi ear accessory that helps translate any language into English - or Earth Common as I guess it would be called by then. Obviously I'd want more than six languages too. Maybe nine? Maybe I'll just build a protocol droid instead - I mean, Darth Vader managed it and I could probably take him in a fight. Probably.
I haven't figured out how to augment one's body for flight, besides giant metal wings that rip out of your back which I'm not too keen about. Maybe in this case I'll just go with rocket boots or a hoverboard. Augmentations are limited, after all.
So this augment is for the tongue and makes every food taste like pancakes. I can switch between cookies, steak and pizza too. Then I can just eat nothing but cardboard and salad (both equally palatable, normally) and be all set. It'll be like a 24/7 IHOP in my mouth.
If I'm going to be eating a lot of cardboard, apparently, I'll probably need a bionic stomach to digest it all. I'd also want it to play the Mario Paint waiting music while it works through it.

Some bionic teeth wouldn't go awry, but it might be more cost-effective to just have diamond teeth instead. We don't know how expensive this shit is going to be. I just want to bite my way through a collapsed building, should I be caught in an earthquake or some such event. At least the rubble will taste like pancakes.
I'd have bionic skin that projected clothes over me, which I'd configure with my hologram computer box before leaving the house. But then they might suddenly go offline, leaving me naked during an important exam at school and ohhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo!
