Looking to get a PS3 and HDTV

and I want advice. I'm looking to pay at the most 350-400 dollars for the tv. It does not need to be big because it is going in a college dorm room for the next 4 years. I'm just looking for something that is a good value and reliable. On the PS3, I'm mainly looking to get it so I can play ****l Gear Solid 3 and 4. Is it worth paying 500+ just to do that, plus have a blu ray player?

Don't bother with an HDTV unless its at least 1080i. Vizio makes some cheap but reliable and good TVs (they definitely win for bang for your buck), my 32" ran at around 600 I think dating back 7 or 8 months ago. As far as I know, the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player out there, so its worth it just in that regard, plus it plays games. Didn't it just recently have a price cut too?

I can't help you on the HDTV but I can tell you that the PS3 bundle with ****l Gear Solid4 is worth the money. Plus they have a feature in the Playstation market place where you are able to rent movies in HD by downloading it to you're PS3. Plus it's a computer, dvd player, blu-ray player, game system, stereo, photot album all rolled into one.

An HDTV for 350 to 400 is probably going to be a no name brand and I am not sure how good those are. About the ps3 I think it's worth it just for the blu ray player

i will vouch for the vizio, my friend got one that is huge and the images are amazing plus he paid a dirtcheap price for it.
And yes Its worth it, mgs is crazy online and SOCOM will be out soon, IM HYPE.
