Laptop comparison for black friday. Please help!?

Here are my two choices:

Toshiba Silver 15.6" Satellite L455D-S5976 Laptop PC with AMD Sempron Processor & Windows 7 Home Premium

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_...

and

HP 15.6" Pavilion G60-519WM Entertainment Laptop PC with Intel Celeron Processor 900 & Windows 7 Home Premium

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_...

These two are well within my price range, but the cheaper the better. However, I might be playing some MMORPGs and RTS games, so I want to know which one would work better and be worth buying. I'm not planning to play heavy games like Crysis or UT. I would like to play Left4Dead and possibly Guildwars/Wow, though. I also use Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Limewire, and Microsoft Office as a side note.

    Even though it has less ram, the toshiba would be better for games, and has a better graphics card just make sure you upgrade the ram.

    Neither are recommended for gaming but you should be able to run it okay.

    HP has high failure rates and Toshiba has lower failure rates.

    Tiger direct Has a few laptops with similar specs for the same price, may i suggest you go there to avoid the shopping crowd on Black Friday. They have free shipping. You might be able to find a new laptop on ebay for a better price too.

    Should you get a new computer then the top rated ones are Sony, Asus Acer and Toshiba take your pick the worst rated are HP, Compaq, Gateway and Dell for their failure rate and poor customer service
