Hmm....good idea or NOT a good idea?

[Vidiot]

Well my current "gaming" computer stinks. I want to build a new super-uber one, but I'll need roughly $800 (I already have a few pieces). I'm good at selling stuff so I should be able to get $500 for my current computer. In a few weeks there will be a Halo 3 tournament near here (already? O_O ). and the cash prize is....$2,500!!! :O :O :O. There will be a ton of people there.

I don't have a XBOX 360. Only one of my friends has one but he doesn't have Halo 3 yet. I was thinking I could sell my computer, buy an XBOX 360, get Halo 3, practice a ton for the next few weeks and win the tournament. Then I would come out ON TOP and have a ton of money and be able to build my uber-gaming computer, and I'd have an XBOX 360 on the side as a "benefit" :D. If I don't win, I would still end up with an XBOX 360, and I could still save a ton of money to build my new computer (or I could sell the XBOX 360. But nah...)

So should I gamble that? Should I do that and hope I win? :D. Even though I'd be selling my computer I'd still have my laptop to do email and such on, just no gaming :D.

Tell me if my idea is good...(oh and I'm not doing this just because I want the money. I actually LIKE Halo so I really want Halo 3 anyways :D)

Odds of you winning the tourney suck, so I'd say don't do it. Just get a 360 or the new comp first, depending on which you want more.

I think I have pretty good odds of winning ;). (if I got a ton of practice). I really need more money than the $500 I'd get from my computer. If I didn't win that tourney there might be other tourneys...:P

i'd say i was right
you're not going to win a tourney for a game you haven't even played yet

that's why I'm going to get the game and practice non-stop for 2 weeks before the tourney starts

don't you have to go to school?
if not, don't you have to work?
if you're unemployed, how do you plan to buy a 360 in the first place?

Sound's like gambling to me. I wouldn't risk it, but if it was for the leisure of playing, heck yeah.

I have to agree with Psycho_Ivan on this one. :P

That can't be good! Agreeing with Ivan is utter madness! Just look at my name, for goodness sake's!! :P

Edit: Your the first one to say my actual name in almost a week... And it has the underscore! Amazing. Simply amazing.

Did you even READ my message at all? UGGG

I said I'd sell my current computer (since I have a laptop as well) and use the money to buy a 360.

I'm home-schooled and yes, i have a job.

Halo 3 is much more balanced than Halo 2, although you still don't have much chance of winning.
