Go for it. And then I challenge you to a match of Guitar Hero. 80's songs. Bring the Aqua Net and I'll bring the Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers.

If you can find real Bartles and James wine coolers! They're not wine anymore, they're flavored beer! (malt liquor)

Well, let me be more specific...
I want the xbox 250, with Kinect, and I have already picked out 5 games that I would like to buy - maybe 6 or 7. I also want the Gold package that would let me stream netflix. We will also need to make some adjustments to our living room to use the Kinect, because our tv hangs on the wall and we have no shelves or entertainment unit. Our stack is in the other room. Either that, or we will buy a new TV for the office and set it up there. We are probably between $750 and $1200.

Either that, or we will buy a new TV for the office and set it up there. We are probably between $750 and $1200. This should put you back closer to $750 than $1200. Spend $400 on the Xbox w/ Kinect and get like 4 games for $60 each. That's $640. I don't even know what the "gold package" is, but I can stream Netflix on mine with the Xbox live (which you can get for $50 and comes with a game itself). And not to burst any bubbles, the Kinect is cool and fun, but only with friends. There's practically no fun involved if you're not drinking and mocking others while playing it. Also, rather than rearrange your living room, there's a mounting bracket you can get to position the Kinect on top of your tv for like $40.

I have kids. There will be lots of play, and lots of mocking. Hopefully not a lot of drinking. They are pretty young.
Awesome! That is what I need. But I'm still back $740 - just on purchase of the xbox, the kinect, the games, the bracket and tax. I'm buying the 250 - I'm not buying one more thing only to find out in 6 months that we need more memory. I will also probably need to buy some wires and cords - the ones that come with this type of thing are rarely long enough.
The $1200 comes in if we decide we would rather have a tv in the office and keep the games in there.

I was going to buy Kinectimals, Sports, Dance, and the one with the car. There was one other that is well rated.
Our office is pretty big, and the desks are up against one wall. So, as long as you pushed the chairs in, we would have a 6 x 12 foot space.

This board has lost its way. Not one person suggested I put it in a Roth, or make sure my 401k is funded or asked me about my emergency fund.

Your kids dont' need extravagant video games. Give them a box and some string and they'll be happy. You need to take that $1,000 and invest it. Compounded at 12% over 35 years, you will have $295395 to pay to the nursing home when your kids won't take care of you because you wouldn't buy them an XBox. Better?
