My folks are in the middle of buying a flat-screen TV...I think to myself "Why don't I feel like buying one along with them? Because I don't need this to be happy!" I don't think buying stuff is the real means to happiness. An xbox is a $400 machine...videogames are FUN and all but you're getting them at a hefty price, and it's like a poor time-sucking substitute for real life.
But here's an exception: I want a guitar. Am I hypocritical? It's as if happiness isn't synonymous with purchasing, and yet life requires plenty of buying!

Not wanting an HDTV or an Xbox 360 is just unnatural and wrong!
There are laws of behavior in industrialised western societies that you are in violation of by not wanting these things. You have to want these things. What are you, some kind of alien?
They are must-haves, and the more I think about your interest in wanting to strum a guitar instead of sitting in front of a TV screen is making me uncomfortable.
So Im leaving.
To play on my xbox on my hdtv.
nya.

Can I just say that an XBox 360 is a great console with great games. That is all. I don't know why you don't want one, you should ask yourself why are you asking this question, you might find a more productive answer.
P.S. Guitar Hero II is such an awesome game. You even get an almost full sized guitar control pad. And Guitar Hero III has been released with a wireless guitar control pad.

Video games are a huge waste of time and money. They also dont teach you anything at all because they make you live in a fantasy land instead of living a real life.
Learning music of any kind, on the other hand, is good for your mind and is actually like teaching yourself a new language. Dont sit on your *** and waste your life away in front of a tv, learn guitar, learn music, expand your mind.

You sound conflicted. Go out and buy a latte or hot chocolate. You'll feel better! Be a good consumer!
