    Rebuy an Xbox 360. Had one before but sold it to pay for petrol, now i have no need for petrol and i have come into some money. i am planning on Buying a 360 and a new TV/Monitor.

    I know a few of your have 360s and do you still think they are good?

    If not, anyone got any other suggestions i should spend the money on. I want to spend around 400 pounds but if there is something really really worth it i can go up to about 800 Pounds.

    Any ideas?

    Upgrade your pc. Buy a blowup doll, 360's aren't worth it at all anymore. Or, if you really want a console, go for a PS3.

    Or just give me your money

    At the moment don't really need to upgrade my PC. I'll probably end up donating Some to BB, One thing is though i really want a new tv which has Freeview. And i would get a PS3 but all my mates have 360s so i can play it with them if i get a 360.

    Get a 360, they are still great and some really good games are coming out for it this year. Don't buy a PS3 if your friends have 360s, it's better to play w/ friends on a console game over live, than it is to be alone and have to play with random people all over the place.

    I still think the 360 is worth it, I use mine every day and weekend to play games with friends.

    and hat is kinda pointless. It's not whether to buy PS3 or Xbox it's whether to buy Xbox or something completely different :p

    Yes, as Freeview is digital and is designed for the switchover.

    Also, you had an Xbox. You got bored of it. Don't get one again, especially just cause your friends have one as that isn't a justifiabal reason. The PS3 has way better games, especially with MGS4 etc. If you really want a console, do that.

    if you want more money, invest it in the stockmarket

    I already have 5k Invested in the StockMarket and thats kinda plain sailing. Otherwise I agree the fact that i shouldn't get one just because my friends have them. :/ Hmm, if i were to upgrade my computer i may aswel upgrade everything, I need a new motherboard and i need will need a new Power Supply, then buy a new Gfx card, more ram. Its gonna be topping 300. may aswel get a new computer :p

    How is your stock portfolio atm? doing good? Bad?

    Also, I would wait with the computer upgrading. Why? Windows 7 is literally around the corner, and I guarantee you all the manufacturers will suddenly churn out new everything for it. So I say dump the money in the bank, let it generate some money via interest, then upgrade everything at once with windows 7.

    Sleep on it a few days, make a list concerning pros and cons of all options.
    Or, invest in bear traps. We'll need them when the Gummy Bears take over the world. They've already spammed the poll a few days ago. Over 9,000 of them!

    Not bad, hang in there with the stocks, as the market is currently rising, so i figure soon you could maybe sell for £10k+.

    And like i said, wait a few months.
