Well, I got my initial check to start replacing stuff yesterday, so by this next weekend I should be back on live.
Thge games I plan on getting to start are: Call of Duty 4, RB6V2, Forza2 and GRID.

I am debating whether I want to get the 360 pro or 360 elite. I am leading towards the Elite simply because I don't want to worry about hard drive space.

It is sure hard to find the computer thoguh to replace the one that was stolen. The wifes will be simple as she doesn't have many requirments. But beings that I do a lot of photo and soon video editing the choice of mine is a little harder. For the price and features it looks like either the HP m9200t with tv/pvr or the HP Pavillion Elite d5000t ATX from Costco provides the best bang for the buck. Of course, these will not be taken as is, but with definate upgrades to bring it up to about $2,000 to $2,300 before that damn tax.

But at least now I can order the filters for my camera that I lost and get the wife's camera too.

For a TV I am definately going 52" LCD, either the Sony or the or one that Desto recomended as being the 2 best. Thanks for the info Desto.

I am kind of disappointed on how much I was reimbersed though. Out of a total loss of $16,546 they cut me a check for $9,975. But after I buy some items I will get additional checks. That is only about 60% to start of the total loss. They didn't send anything that showed how the arrived at that figure, but I will hopefully get something soon. I just don't see how stuff can depreciate 40% when most of it was less than 2 years old.

Well, now to go find that post with Desto's rec's and see what it is I am shopping for. I already looked earlier, but that was before a check arrived.
