I want to buy a HDTV and an XBOX 360 On My Limited Budge- What should I get?

I have about $1100 in the bank. I want to get an HDTV and an XBox 360. If I had to I could borrow a little bit of money from my parents. I'm not a huge video game guy. The only games I really play are Madden and NBA 2k7.

I'd like to spend no more than $750-800 on a nice hdtv. Any suggestions?

I can't suggest any TVs but check pricegrabber.com for some low prices. Downside to online order is support.

A "nice HDTV" for $800 or less? What size are you thinking? What type of TV? CRT tube, LCD, RPTV?

Whoops I forgot to talk about that. I don't really care. Whatever would be best for my room. Probably no more than 35 inches. From what I've read I think a CRT would probably be my best option but I'm not positive. The tv would be for my room. It is an average sized room.

This might be a shot in the dark, but here goes: I was at Best Buy earlier tonight and they had two 42" HP plasma demo units (one dated yesterday and one dated today) which were going for $1,600 (normal price) + an instant $800 gift card. So, it sort of lowers the price for the plasma down to $800, provided that you can come up with $800 worth of product to purchase. With that $800 you could get a Premium Xbox 360, a few accessories, and some games.

Just a thought

Probably cheaper in the store though.

Avoid the new Toshiba CRT's, they are now outsourced to Orion (Sansui) in Thailand. The sets are poorly built and suffer from quality control issues.

Take a look at the Samsung TX-S3082 30" CRT, available for under $600.
