To get the best out of the modern consoles one needs a GOOD display. We're talking about something 30+inches and of course HDTV. Then the correct cable, and people, let's not forget a decent sound system. Oh, and the console, controllers and the games.

Right, so that's:

£500-1000+ for the TV
£30 for the correct wire
£200 for the sound
£300 for the console
£50 per game

Hmmmmm...

I've just recently got an old X-box. It with 15 games and accessories came in at £80. I've wired it to my projector and my PC sound and it's pretty good.

Maybe in a few years...
