I said I wouldn't get sucked into the next gen gaming void.
Turns out I lied to myself. Went shopping today for a new TV so I can get everything ready for the Xbox 360 (I will be getting one before Christmas). So instead of getting long tube headers (Jet Hots from VRE) I will have to settle for something like a CAI. I still plan on getting LT's it will just take a few more months before I have the extra cash.
These are the two TV's I'm currently looking at.

Even though the 34 cost more I might just for broke on this purchase. If I get the TV from Wal-Mart I can get it marked down 20%.

Hmmm... LT headers, or a TV and an CAI... Hrmmm.
I'd pick the long tubes every time. I don't get the whole "I need an awesome TV for a gaming system I don't even have yet" thing.

When I get money to spend, I will probably buy a new TV... Im a big movie guy, but along with the nice picture, I need better sound.

I like those TVs.....that 34' is pretty sweet.

You shoulda got a TV on Friday after Thanksgiving. I saw a bunch of stores with 50-52" HDTVs for only $800-$1000.
You could probably find a cheap one on ebay too but most of them only do local pickup so you would have to find one in your area.
If you have to choose between those two though, I liked the 34" better

And I will agree with you there... I havent gotten to play the game, I saw the demo for it, it does look nice, but it wasnt gameplay, so I coudnt make a judgement... Also heard it was fun.
