Should i get a 46-inch lcd tv or a ps3?

Should i get a ps3 or a 46-inch lcd tv? 

I have the money for both but my future wifey said i can only get one for now because were saving money for downpayment on a townhouse.

I currently have a have an old sony 10 year old 27-inch crt that has only composite inputs.  This thing is outdated.  I have a gamecube and dreamcast.

I'm leaning towards the tv since it has more uses but wonder what other people think.

TV...really, there should be no thought about it.

i think you should give her a slap tell her whos the boss and get both

 a PS3 is 10 times better with an HDTV why not comprimise and get a 40" and PS3 you can get them dead cheap now!!!

Lol, maybe i would have put the smack down in the past, but after going out for 7 years it seems she is now making most of the decisions in the relationship.

The problem i have with the 40-inch is i want to go as big as possible with the tv.  I actually wanted to get a 61-inch rear projection but again, she only will let me buy a flat panel, sheesh.

ok ok sounds like you are pretty whipped :P

i would say get the TV then a month or so down the line just slip the PS3 in with out her realizing then if she asks about it say "no thats my PS2 i have had it for years!"  job done

lol still get the t.v

I was thinking about doing this too.

At newegg.com there selling a sharp 52-inch lcd and throwing in a ps3 for free.

I was thinking about getting a samsung or toshiba though.

Yeah get the t.v first then get the PS3.

I got my PS3 first, then she wanted to start watching movies in Blu-ray and said go ahead and go for the TV.

I'd go with PS3 first for another reason, HDTVs prices are dropping like rocks. In a few months you'll be able to get a lot nicer TV for a lot less money. Secondly she'll want a new TV for the house once you get moved in, so you can work that angle too :) lol

haha yeah say "shut up Woman, go make me supper"....... maybe thats not such a good idea i would so go for the newegg deal, but i already have a ps3 and an hdtv- albiet smaller.

get both

Hmm, i think i have a good plan.

I go buy a ps3, then after i get the ps3, my current crappy tv will mysteriously begin to malfunction.  Of course we will need to buy a new lcd tv since our current tv is dead :P

That's a good deal. That tv is awesome. My friend has the 37" one and it's beautiful. 4ms response time, 1080P, 2 HDMI, and Sharp makes great quality LCD tvs. A free $600 PS3 is a good deal. Sharp TV are way better than Toshiba. Samsung and Sony make good LCD though.

 I'm jealous, you should definately go for that deal! And if your wife asks tell her it came free the TV and you didn't buy it =)

There is not a sharp model out there that does not have banding.  Who can live with that?

Why not get a 50" DLP w/ full 1080p?

I need help too, I wanna get a new LCD TV, I can't afford a 1080p so I want a 720p and this is what I found I could afford.

If you can wait LCD prices are dropping fast you can probably get a 1080p in a few months for the same price. What I would do is save up for what you want. A TV is something you will probably keep for 10+ years. Get something good quality with all the features you want. 10 years from now you won't be thinking I spent $100 extra for the Sony or whatever you'll just be happy you have a nice TV that has stood the test of time.  Otherwise you'll just regret it and probably end up spending more later to upgrade.

Polaroid makes AWFUL LCDs.  If you have to be THAT cheap, go for a CRT.   CC has the Sony XBR for $650
