Yeah I know if I really want to play hardcore I have to go for a desktop or a really expansive notebook but that's not an option because I will sell my Wind or give it to my mother when I buy a new pc/notebook so I still need a notebook for my schoolwork.. Also when I buy a xbox 360 I still need to buy a big TV because I own a small television in my room now :( So... But I will wait for sometime maybe something better pops up, or are the HP and Sony the best I will get for this money?!
