I already have a 360 with a 24 inch samsung HDTV LCD. I was thinking of 3 different things. First, I was thinking about buying a 50 inch hdtv lcd to enhance my xbox experance. Or I was consdering of buying a 35-40 inch hdtv lcd with a playstation 3 to upgrade the game experance on the counsles along with a sigificant increase in the size of my tv. My finally option would be to buy a super gaming computer and start gaming there and play games like battle field 2, and so on. What do  you guys think?

I got a better idea, dont buy another HDTV, its kinda a waste of money + size isnt really all that important. Build yourself a gaming PC and get a PS3. That should cost around $600-$800 for your PC and $600 for the PC, also then you still have money left over for games. Thats what I would do.

out of those choices I'd say the 50 inch. I don't know much about HD, I play my 360 on my comp monitor, but if you're going to drop that much coin you better do some batman type research and make sure your getting the best of what's out there. Maybe even get a 40 inch if the 50 inch tops out at 720 instead of 1280.

 

I also hear nothing but good stuff about Laser TV's, the're not out yet but should show up this year.

Thats a good idea and you have further complicated my descion, lol. This way i could have three gaming platforms! Problem is is that i would know how to build a good gaming compputer for only 800 bucks. But time and reseacher may counter that. thanks alot! and good idea

i have a whole set of different methods for buying my games, its called sucking up to the old lady. So This money is for upgrading my gaming experance. But if i only had this amount of money to spend for games then it might not be a bad idea

True, but  i would be stuck with a small tv, The tipping point would be if i could try the Wii and enjoy it. I still haven't so i am going to have to thanks

2000 grand?  that would be 2 million dollars, no?

but yea... get a nice TV and a Wii.  expand your selection of games (if you have a variety in gaming taste).  if not... get a nice TV and a really nice couch/chair, so you can relax and enjoy your games.

2000 grand = 2 million dollars, so I'd say go for the 500".

The gaming computer or a 1600 dollar TV and a Wii + games would be good.

It's not too difficult, you will easily find guides on what to look for and how to put all the components together on the internet. Whatever you do, DON'T go to Alienware because they add 50% extra to the price just for the brand. Try to avoid any kind of pre-packaged system, even though the advertising might sound tempting they will rip you off royally.

Buy the games that you want and pre-order lots of games that are coming out. Then buy an awesome rig. Here are the specs that you should have:

 

IntelDuo...Something. I don't know that much about processors.

8800GTXs SLI

2 GB of RAM

200 GB HD

HD monitor

^^ I was thinking that too. But I say get the gaming PC. PS3 blows and if you have a HDTV just keep it. No point in getting something you already have.
