2) Wait for a PS3 price cut. You might not want the system, but it has basically support for everything and then some.

3) At fist, I told a lot of people to buy them. Most of the people that did buy it loved it, but I don't think they play more than Wii Sports. If you are looking for a deeper experience, this would really be dependent on your gaming preferences. You can get 3 games + system + wii sports for what you can get a PS3 for. Then again, the PS3 has some REALLY nice games. (I don't own one, but I hear tons of stuff about "PMG! PEE-ESS-THREEEEEEEE)

4) Nikons are nice cameras. My dad is/was a professional photographer. He used the D1x. (well, he used film cameras before that, but that was his first and only digital one). If you really are going to use it, I think that would probably be the one to go with. Depends on how much you really enjoy photography [as an aside: I spent nearly 10 years working with him and didn't learn a thing about photography.]

5) depends on how old. Honestly, if it is past a certain period, you will need more than minor updates for it to be worth the money.If you are still chugging by with SD RAM and a sub gigahert processor, this might should be a priority, especially if you want to use a digital camera and any kind of picture editing program more powerful than paint. (Photoshop kills RAM.)

I just spent €1.500 on a new TV two months ago, maybe it's not the best idea to buy another one.

Current system: AMD Athlon 2400+, 1GB DDR, GeForce 6600 256mb, running XP. It's not slow in everyday use, but there's some games I wanna play on the horizon that need a lot of extra horsepower.

Although hardly anyone voted for it, I'm leaning more towards a blu-ray player. I'm craving for some plug-and-play 1080p video.

A Blu-ray player (standalone) is the worst choice out of them all. Despite winning the foramt war the prices have gone up and the format is incomplete. Wait a year for a Blu-ray player or at very least get a PS3.

I'd go with the digital camera, to be honest.

If you're serious about wanting a Blu-ray player, though, get the PS3 instead for about the same money. Does more, loads faster, easy to firmware upgrade. Even if you never use it for games, it's still a better, more future-proof investment.

Wii (Brawl will not disappoint) and/or PC Upgrade (I'm a Starcraft fan myself)

[rbbdrooger]

I've made up my mind.

And the winner is.....................





Nikon D60.

I'm going to get it with an 18-55mm lens. I have two already that fit on this body, a 28-80mm and a 80-300mm so that way I'll have a really nice range.

You need a Wii to play Brawl...

Yeah, I'd really like to play Brawl, but I've decided not spending €250 on a console to play one or two games.
I've come up with a better solution. When Brawl finally comes out in Europe, I'm going to borrow a friend's Wii for a month, while he gets my 360 for a month. He doesn't like SSB (or any fighting game) so he is happy to trade.

Sure. Whenever you're in Holland, let me know.
