okay i'm not gonna get a 360, but i actually think that 15" is well cute. where did you get it? sounds like a good deal at $300, some dodgy e-bay guy said he'll give me a 42" for $800 but it sounds dodgy to me. thanks y'all.

That's a nice little TV you got there Trepsie.

Mine is a Samsung DLP, 46" TV. Broke in less than a month. But now that it is has been fixed, it's been running fine. Very sharp picture, but I haven't made full use of it yet. When I buy the 2 next gen consoles, and Sony's Blu-Ray DVD player, it will definitely see a lot more action.

Don't buy a TV like that on ebay. Those HD TV's are still new technology and they tend to break after a couple of years, so make sure you get a warranty with the TV.

thanks to you both, a friend of mine today said he can get me a 42" with warranty for £500, so it might just be a benefit to spend on that, even if it is still bloody expensive.

What are the conditions of the warranty? Make sure they're to your advantage in case anything happens.
