The Television Debate.

So Patrick and I were having a debate over what to do about the TV situation that will occur in our apartment.

Each of us have our own TV, and each of the guys have their own gaming system (I do have one but with two little brothers I have to leave it behind with them, but I just get to play Mike's). So that's 4 TVs and 3 systems. (We are all big gamers remember). So we are each going to have a TV in our room with a game system.

Well Mike and I don't need 2 TVs so we said we should put one in the living room as a communal use TV, and that way we will just get cable for that one TV. Well problem is that Mike has a nice, pretty, and large TV. Where mine is pretty but only 15''.

The Dilemma: Mike doesn't want to play his games on my 15'' (don't blame him). And the 15'' is way too small for all of us to sit around and watch TV or a movie on.

The Solution: Buy a new TV.

I can hear people saying, why the hell do you need 5 TVs?! Well seeing as we are all gamers, and I am actually studying television at University, we really do. Certain things in life are just necessary. - HEEHEE

Mike and I came across a 32'' LCD TV for $570 after taxes. We can split the costs 4 ways and that way we're only paying about $150 each.

Patrick argued that a used Tube TV would be just fine and cheaper. But I am biased and in my program the old box TVs have been rendered useless.

What do you think?? The old Tube TV at a way cheaper price, or splurge and go for the Flat screen?
