If your current TV is halfway decent I'd go with option 2. If not, maybe option 1 (plus you always have to worry about the RROD for your 360) but, I don't know what size TV your looking for and if $400 is enough for a nicer TV. I definitely wouldn't go with option 3 because a) kid's are ungrateful and usually have enough anyways and b) because I earned the money so I'd likely want to spend it on myself but, I'm just selfish like that.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Thats what im scared of. I had it twice b4 but it went away.

Ive had it for 6 years and it still works like a charm.

I definitely wouldn't go with option 3 because a) kid's are ungrateful and usually have enough anyways

I know but he looked at me yesterday and was like "Why do you always get what you want, I always wanted a DS but Mommy can't pay for it." It was sad. lol

Well I was half joking. If the kid really doesn't have much then I would consider it. From my experience with my niece and nephew as well as my girlfriend's little sister who's 10. They all have DS's. PS2's and Wii's. They play them a lot but, there not really careful with them and they definitely don't seem grateful to have them.

One other thing to consider is the kid's parents. Why haven't they gotten him a DS before? Is it a money issue? Because some parent's have a lot of pride and don't want to be showed up when it comes to gifts.
Or do they not want him to have one? Because some parents would prefer there kid's play outside or something.

My sister IS currently struggling to get him it. So I figured I'd help. But I don't get the money until Tuesday so he can wait lol. He HAD a PS2 but my sister broke it by accident when she dropped it from a 5 foot drawer while cleaning and ever since he's been bored constantly. (except when he goes to karate) (cost i think 60-80 bucks a month)

Having had 3 360s RROD on me I'm jaded. Won't throw another dime towards anything that has to do with the 360. yes, I'm bitter. lol

I'd go with the HDTV. If you can somehow up your money from $400 to $530 you can get a 37 inch 1080p LCD.
