I can see your angle on this.  Nobody has to justify what they buy to me or 
anyone as far as I'm concerned.  It is good enough you like it like that :) 
Myself, I don't really want a console.  Got too much pc stuff to play with 
already.   I do like watching my movies though.    I recall your saying you 
have a decent TV/monitor to use with your XBox.
That'd be one thing I need to get.  A decent TV.
