At the end of this month i am graduating high school. I have about 700 saved from graduation money. I still have a little bit coming. I already have a 60GB ps3 (the first one) and a 27" lcd tv. What should i buy with that. Including games, or a new tv if you think so.

Congrats on graduation and the $700! My suggestion would be to buy an ice cold pepsi and then send a wire transfer to Eddie5vs1 for the remaining $698! :) Seriously though, if you're going to college I'd save some money for trips home, going out with friends, and buying stuff for your room. In all honestly when buying anything that you may take to college, go cheap as it will likely end up either broken or stolen. Again, congratulations on graduating!

Buy a brand new LCD TV, atleast 30 inches to see how beautiful they look when they are "ACTUALLY" in HD. Small LCD tvs that claim they are 1080p, which they are no dobut but you cant really see all the visuals and everything you need a tv the perfect size for that. So 1080P 30+ inch tv! And you're set as a gamer, if you have extra money spend it on surrond sound or something. Happy spending sir! :D

Its something u don't need to worry about at your age. Its putting money away u really cant touch until ur 60 or you buy your first house and the interest is like 5% your better off investing in a diversified stock portfolio and do one with moderate to high risk you could stand to gain a lot moreee money out of it and youd be helping the economy if u invested in american run and American hiring companies. Or just put it in a norm savings and save up some more money and buy a cheap property and wait for the property values to go up.
