Question Kick butt gaming system or more money for mods?

Well Xbox360 is right around the corner and regardless of what brand you like this console will kick some major ***. Problem is that if you do not own an HDTV it is kind of like running a LT1 Camaro with a stage 3 LE head/cam swap with stock exhaust. So XBox 360 (+games) and 30inch wide screen HDTV comes out to around $1200. Well $1200 is like new rims, a new hood, or a whole lot of performance goodies. I'm confuzzied here, in your opinion what would be the better "investment".

you can get new rims, a hood, and performance mods for 1200?!?! where?! I WANT I WANT! It all depends on what is more your hobby. I'd go with my car, but that's cause I dont play many video games. If you play video games alot, i'd go that route. Just depends on your hobby.

I mean I can go with any of the three I listed (rims, hood, performance), not all of them at once.

What's more important to you? Personally I would go with the car but it's your choice not ours. I mean there's no feeling like driving a highly modifed car down the street with everyone looking.

Back when I was in HS I had a pretty good room. I had a large TV, a stereo with full surround sound, all the recent consoles(at the time was the N64/PS2). A new computer, black lights, lava lamps, etc... etc... but I would trade it all for a modified car.
