Hello GiantBombers, I need your honest advice on some technology purchases.  
 
My Xbox 20 gig died almost 6 months ago. Thankfully I've been able to play my PS3 more and have not been totally out of the gaming loop. However I will be moving soon and I need to purchase a new Xbox console as well as a new laptop, had it since 2005 and it's dying out.  I've always been a PC guy but as I work more in the audio/video field I felt as though a MacBook Pro would be an excellent purchase to start diving in deeper...I know, that's what she said...I have the funds to purchase a MacBook Pro but since Dell has been doing a deal where if you purchase a laptop of $699.99 or more you get a free Xbox 360 Slim 4GB system.  I'm thinking, maybe I can kill two birds with one stone, new laptop and free 360. I'll drop another $100 on a 250 GB HD.  Plus I'll save about $500 more than what I would have spent on the Mac. I need to make decision within the next month, or whenever the Dell deal ends, and I want to here what you Bombers think is the best way to move forward. Again, not looking for you to tell me what to do but more of suggestions and anything I may be overlooking.
 
Thanks in advance!
