I would give the money to the employees and make them dance. That's more entertaining than video games.

Save it and buy games later. Why spend $1000 at one point?

I'd trade it for a $1000 Amazon gift card (somebody would be willing to make the switch) and buy a PS2 and a bunch of PS2 games. And then an Xbox and a bunch of Xbox games. And then any GC games I've somehow missed buying.

At the moment, probably nothing - at least I won't be able to spend all of it. In 1-3 years I would easily use it on a console and a bunch of games :D.

'bout time casey, taking you first steps tward lemmingdom. but that plans not going to work. you dont get to play, you're gonna be modding, much of it spoilers. if i was you i would just disconnect the pc and tell gs your cabel went out taking your broad band with it. then fire up the 360. sign up for a silver acount and you get gold free for a month. one of the games you should get is forza2.

I already have all three as well as a 8800Ultra PC--so I'd probably get a PSP Slim and some games for it.

A 360, Halo 3, Bioshock, 360 Headset, Super Mario Galaxy (because I've already got a Wii and I've preordered SSBB at GameStop), save the rest.

idk....either a ps3 or new pc hardware....

I'd have the chose the PC by a mile because I'll be using that a lot more often (Not using the ps3 has no games excuse as it will get good games in the futre)

The above statement doesn't include or hint that I may consider killzone 2 to be a good game...I consider killzone 2 to be the mutant child of an evil man bent on world destruction by melting our brains with amazingly awful games.

Sell it for it's equivalent value in cash, keep it until the GeForce 9 series is released, and then buy that, a more powerful PSU, Crysis, and UT3. I'd finish off the leftovers by buying Brawl, SMG, and the other Q4 Wii games.

Buying all of that at Best Buy would be wasting money. Newegg is the way to go.
