Choose for me: Xbox 360S (plus a controller, headset and chat pad, halos 1, 2, 3, odst, reach, anniversary, 4, and maybe halo wars), or 5.11 Rush MOAB 10 (with 6x6 and bottle pouches, in either black to "flat earth", and a flag patch), or climbing gear ($200+ harness, gloves, $100+ helmet), or new computer (probably parts to build a desktop totaling at max $500).
The Xbox 360S with everything included comes out at about $490.
The 5.11 Rush MOAB 10 with everything included comes to about $150.
The climbing gear starts at $250 if I skip the helmet and rely on helmets provided by the location I use the rest at.
The new computer needs to be capable of playing games such as Shadow Run on decent graphics settings, and will be a desktop with most of the money going towards the CPU and GPU, being as those are the most critical things in a gaming rig, followed very closely by memory which will start at 4GBs, the hard drive for all I care can be an old IDE hard drive I have kicking around my house, the mother board will be matched to my CPU and GPU respectively, as for an optical drive, so long as it's decent and doesn't break itself or my discs I won't care.
I know this is a totally random post, but this is a totally random thread as well.
By the way: Snark!

Moab and climbing gear.
You can get the xbox a LOT cheaper than that, computer too.

The Xbox 360S(lim) starts at about $180, plus the games and other gadgets brings it up to about $490 assuming I buy a disc for everything instead of DLC.
The computer has to be able to run the games at least as well as the standard 360.
The other thing I should have noted above is that the climbing gear has a maximum life span (well, except for the gloves) of 2-10 years, in the case of the harnesses that I'm looking at, 7-10, assuming they are stored at ideal conditions (fat chance of that seeing as I live in rope's and webbing's natural enemy, hot, humid, sunny, and very very very wet at the moment) and only used on occasion.
Thank you Chameleonbear for your answer, but I have one question about it: Can I assume those are in order of priority of purchase?

You may blame my cat. He likes dawn. I like putting him in the basement.

@Oxide: computers are better than game consoles because they're useful.
A modern MB won't run an old IDE drive, most likely. SATA is the way to go. Besides, if you want a gaming rig, you don't want to be slowed by VM swap drive I/O to an old/slow controller.
Climbing gear is good. Add shoes if you don't have 'em. Gloves? are you ice-climbing in florida? howzat work? If you need gloves you're probably rappelling too fast.
Harness, large locking 'biner, belay device (ATC or some such), chalk bag, shoes. That's the minimum for indoor climbing or riding along on someone else's top-rope outside.
