Opinions on a few things.

[Comon ST]

Well today is my birthday and I have the choice of whatever I would like for $400 bucks. (Canadian if it means anything) Well, Im looking at getting a few things, and if people could tell me something better or cheaper then feel free to tell me.

TV: (My Choices, or someones better option)
19" Insignia LCD HDTV (480i/480p/720p/960p/1080i)
Price: $319.99
or
Insignia 19" Widescreen LCD HDTV (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
Price: $199.97

Headset for x360:
Turtle Beach Ear Force X2 - $59.95 (New low price from $99)

For the headset, Im looking for something better then The X2, but is still cheap.

If its cheaper for me to go for the Computer screen and VGA cables, then let me know.

If I should get anything else also let me know. This is entirely an opinion based. This is also going into my room if you want to know.

Sorry to double Post, but could someone help me with this?

Personally, I wouldn't waste that kind of money on such a small tv. If you had to have HD, I would save the $400 and save up some more to get a much larger tv.

If you really want to waste/spend all of the $400, get your headset and some games.

Thats what I thought at first, but then I tought of the size of my room, and it isn't that big, and I would like to have a TV in there for mainly offline gaming, and when I feel like it, go down to my other TV for online. And I already have about $250 bucks of other money going to gaming.

- Tiger Woods 08
- APF 2k8
- Lots of Rentals

Save a bit more money...buy this:

And run a cable to your room for online gaming in there as well.

Any Idea if they ship to Canada?

I might ether get a really long cable, (computer is in middle floor, My room is top floor) or I might get the Wireless adapter, and Tiger Woods, with a few rentals.
My main query is, is the 360 Wireless adapter any good? Or would I be better to do wired gaming...

I always prefer wire over wireless. I've slung ethernet for a living before so I could get a cable anywhere.

Yes, I believe they ship to Canada.

Thanks Code.

I already have a problem with the Ethernet cord that I have for my hook up near the computer, people always complain that they might trip over it. If your that clusmy that you'll trip over something that small, then its pathetic. But lets say, I don't want any cords, would the 360 wireless adapter still give me good online play? Or would there be problems?

Then just buy a switch and use that computer cable to power your 360 too.

Otherwise it should be fine. I know plenty of people that use it...I just prefer to stay away from using wireless. I've cabled my house and have an ethernet jack on just about every wall.

If you're that worried about any of those cables..you can find ways to run them. Space between floors, under carpet, attic, basement, wall molding. It's really not as hard as you think.

To tell you honestly, I haven't had a single problem with my M$ Wireless Adapter and I was skeptical in the beginning about buying one. I stayed away from it because friends have told me that it would disconnect on you, but I haven't had a single problem with it.

I bought one because I have multiple 360's around my house. I was NOT about to drill holes into my wall, so I can feed an Ethernet cable downstairs to my other 360. So I was pretty much forced into buying a Wireless Adapter. I bought one used from eBay for about $70.00. It's easy to setup and works like a charm. I've had it hooked up since April and everything is fine. I would recommend it.
