Well my gaming set up so far is this. I have a xbox 360 with a 24 inch HDTV LCD. I have the option of buying a 50 inch HDTV LCD to enhance my 360 experance to great lengths with a super screen. Or, I can down size the HDTV to a 35 - 40 inch and buy a PS3 along with it. I don't want to miss out on what the PS3 may have to offer. Also, I have had every ps1 and ps2 so i kind feel i need ps3. At the same time i really want that huge tv. And here i think may be my least favorit option, and that is to buy a super gaming computer and play some pc games i have never played. If you guys could put me in your shoes and tell me what you would do that would be great. thanks

For that kind of money, I'd invest in a gaming PC. Around 1500 US$ for the computer itself, and the rest for accessories. If there's a high-resolution PC monitor or HDTV sitting around, I could just use that and save myself some more cash. If you prefer the simplicity of consoles, though, I'd go with a smaller HDTV that still provides great image quality and the PS3. Your gaming library will be expanded significantly, and I'm not talking about just the PS3 titles. (It has backwards compatibility for a reason-USE IT!)

I would go with the smaller TV and the PS3 as well. at some point you have to consider that too big a TV will just be a waste as your eye can only take in so much and the PS3 has some potentially killer games in the next few months

Dogmatic923: If you have 2000 grand ($2,000,000) buy whatever you want. I am sure you meant 2 grand, in which case I would recommend buying a PS3, an extra controller, a PS2-PS3 memory card adapter, an HDMI cable, Resistance, Motorstorm, Oblivion, and a few Blu-ray movies.

Americahellyeah: A grand is $1000. $2000 x $1000 = $2,000,000 = $2 million.

I find it amusing when people try to correct something that is clearly wrong, only to screw it up even more themselves. :P

With $2,000,000, Id get everything you listed!

But with $2000, Id get..I dont know. Its your choice if you want a PS3. If you really feel you want one then get it. Like you said that you dont want to miss out on it, then just buy it if thats how you feel. You can get a TV later, thats what I did. Except when I bought it I still had an SDTV :D . lol

In my view, a 1000 on a TV is a more wise decision and then you can save up the rest for the future which, you might need it for other things.

He already has a TV which is around that price ......... 26lcd HDTV ... must be around $700 ..., what would be the point ?

 

I would buy an extremely good TV, sell the LCD (and the xbox in my case, I dont think you would), and save for the PS3 .

I agree %100. I project right onto the wall(white flat paint).  I've got a sony Cineza ($1000-$1500) It does 720 natively and 1080i. Has component and Hdmi inputs.

The best overall and price concious LCD HDTV is the 46 inch Samsung LN.  I'd sell everything you have already and get the Samsung LN 46 with the PS3.

I would buy the 47'' 1080p LCD from Westinghouse. Because this is a good monitor for PS3 or CPU and even T.V. Its a great deal. I bought the Bravia 40'' 1080p when that came out and love it. But If I would of waited a bit longer I would of got more bang for my buck. Oh yeah, also buy PS3 with Mlb07: The Show...........

Get the PS3. Then do some careful shopping for a good LCD,Plasma, or like one person said the projector. Would stay away from rear projection TV's (I had a couple of people trying to give me there 50 inch rear projection TV's because the bulbs were going out).

The way I see it, get a decent highly praised LCD panel around 42inches. Skip plasma, any worth while one needs to be 50inches as 42inches usually doesn't have full resolution, and then your stuck with 720p but LCD can give you 1080p around the same price.

Now if you want the biggest screen for your money, you can easily get 57inch 1080p rear projection and have room for a PS3. But if you are sitting 5 feet a closer there's no need to go this route.Â
