Rep Power: 0 Need ur guys 2 cents on this 1....
Ok, here's my deal....
I want to get a new deck in my car, a flip out screen kinda deck. The only thing is, this is the part where I'm stuck. I want to get the new Pioneer IN DASH DVD deck, but that's gonna run me like 900 bucks. Plus, I wanted to use that a/v box to hookup my Xbox to that. Figuring I wanna hook up my box, I figured I would be better off just getting an in dash LCD screen deck and then run the DVD off my Xbox---therefore saving me like 300-400 bucks. Would I be losing sound quality or pic quality running a dvd off my Xbox, or should I just shell out and get an in dash dvd and also hookup my Xbox. I've heard it before, "f**k the xbox, too flashy", but i'm gonna do it regardless. Let me know what you guys think. Models, brands are also welcomed. I just figured to get the screen so i can mess around on my xbox, very rarely am I actually going to watch DVDs in my car, especially since I work Mon-Fri and like to bump my beats in the mornings.

Rep Power: 0 Aight cool thanks, let me know Bryan.
Thanks, but it's cool. Even with a discount, it's still $$. I'm most likely going to ebay it, unless I can take Vince with me to get it so he could working his lowballin skillz.
