It's my birthday soon yet I don't know what I would want. Any suggestions? (Turning 16)

I tried Googling for ideas but I came up with shit like dry erase wall stickers. I was thinking about just a video game until my parents told me they were thinking about a TV. They're willing to spend up to $300.
The immediate choices running through my head are-
• TV. I almost never watch any TV anymore, however, so it would probably become my new monitor. In that case, I'd need to find one that offers good picture and a good PC resolution before they end up buying one that's terrible in both.
• Computer upgrades. My computer now can run Arkham Asylum on high but struggles with Crysis 2. I had upgraded it in the past but I couldn't upgrade my stock PSU, forcing me to get a lower end card than I had wanted. Now I can do a full PSU and GPU upgrade but I don't know if it'd be worth the money.
• 3DS. The only problem is that I don't like how shitty the battery is. I'll probably just wait until the lite version comes out and the price is lowered.
I'm especially open to cheap suggestions, because I don't want to ask for something right at $300 or more. My parents are being very generous and I'm trying to be at least a little modest.
300 $1 hookers, or 1 $300 hooker.
I just turned 18 and I got a 24 in. 1080p TV for $186.
Ask your mommy for this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Proscan-24LED45QA-24-Inch-1080p-Black/dp/B003UATDWS/ref=cm_cr-mr-title[/url]
Ignore the ONE review, this TV is excellent.

The trick is that only the second one exists.

Choose the first option and gain an extra 300 STDS

Please explain how excellent this TV is. That's an amazing deal there. How are the speakers on it? Does it look great when hitched up to a computer?

Picture quality will make you strip down naked and want to rub your cock all over the screen.
The sound is about equivalent to your traditional computer speakers.

I was actually in your same exact position, then I found this cheap T.V. and thought this would be the best gift for me, so I decided to go for it.
Maybe we can play Xbox Live together on it. :v:

You could just aswell be overhyping a piece of junk.

More like; I own it, you do not.
Get a PS2 and then use the last 200 USD to get a fat stack of used games.

Yet you still don't have any arguments that don't sound retarded for why its worth the price.

Even IF it is junk, you can send it back within 30 days if you don't like it.
Calm down.
Why'd you keep yours then :v:

Just kidding.
But i thought that the 30 days return whatever its called is only valid if you don't open it up.
