Is integrating an Xbox 360 into an existing computer monitor/speakers setup worth it? Or should I simply get a TV? I want to get an Xbox 360.

More like “doors closed, engine off, staying indoors” actually … Winter returned with a vengeance today, dumping snow all up the East Coast from as far down as Georgia(!), to Maine. Here in Gloucester, we got 8″-9″, hard to tell because it came with hefty winds that did...
