    I just purchased the s9359 via the online store, and have yet to receive it. While waiting to receive it I am trying to figure out what else I need to complete it. I am hoping to be able to use the screen to play my Xbox360 and/or PS2, but I am unsure on how to do this. The system comes with an TOSHIBA USB HDTV Tuner (External), but am not sure if I can connect the systems through this, anyone have any suggestions, or answers?

    I'm no expert, but I believe a lot will depend on the compatability issues regarding Vista which is loaded on the Toshiba.

    Also, do let us know what you think of the machine when you receive it. After months of researching computers both desktop and laptop and the changes in chips and operating systems over the past year, this machine has many redeeming qualities and I am hoping to purchase as well. Which online retailer did you purchase it from and did you purchase additional warranty plan or will you?

    Thank you.

    I've also recently purchased this model. After contacting Toshiba, they informed me that this model in question will not be in-stock until the first week of August.

    I'm very much looking forward to it.

    Brian, good to hear that. I want to know if this unit has the same stuttering issue as the P105-S9337,S9339 "Vista Gaming Laptop" series in which the video or whatever game stutters every 3 seconds and continues indefinitely?

    I'm not familiar with the tuner included with the Toshiba but if you can post a picture showing all the ports on it. It shouldn't be an issue setting the tuner up. Just plug the connectors in and then set up the tuner manually in Vista. I hook up my Atari 2600 to my express card analog tuner using a simply coax and them manually set up the tuner in MCE 2005
