On black friday get a 1080p tv, there going to be really cheap. Most tv's have stereo output that you can hook into your stereo.

Xbox One has optical out I believe. you'll need something to convert that optical out to RCAs. I'll look into it for you.

edit: maybe this

you'll need to convert HDMI to either VGA or DVI if your monitor had DVI you can get a cable that has DVI on one end and HDMI on the other for probably $20 or less. Then with that audio converter box you can get audio.

Dear MS Gods. I apologize for declaring the PS4 my primary console for this generation after giving you that sole title with the OG Xbox and 360. I have paid the price considerably with this bricked system and have learned alot about loyalty.

Please allow me to have a happy and healthy XB1.

Sincerely,
CJ, your neighbourhood Coli breh. :to:

have you forgotten who you're praying to? don't you remember the rrod that was so bad the first 3 years they had to extend everyone's warranty? all i'm saying is i wouldn't expect them to save you. i'm buying my XBO with a credit card so i can have them double the manufacture's warranty.

I will never forget RROD. Dealt with hundreds of consoles during my time as Gaming Supe at BB. I was luckily enough to have not experienced it personally with the 3 consoles I had (1st one sold because they booked me having it modded, other two are still in my possession, one legit, one modded).

I don't expect to be saved or have a flawless console, but I do expect to have one that last more than 10 minutes so I can atleast play one game.

it is what it is sometimes defective hardware happens. at least it happened early on. unless there's a well known design flaw that Sony ignored i wouldn't act like its their fault your random console took a dive.
Just seen that there's gonna b a 24in 1080p insignia tv for $80 at BB on black friday for wat its worth :manny:
that will probably last a year if you're lucky before crapping out. i mean we all have price constraints but my motto is don't let price dictate what you buy. find a good product you can afford and then worry about the price. don't pick something out because it cost X amount of dollars.

I expect these things, it is what it is. Gives me a chance to wax off some of these other current gen titles I have laying around.
