I've yet to see a gaming laptop for that price. Maybe a PS3 or XBox would fill in the games angle and then a normal laptop?

You may have guessed it, but I'm a novice when it comes to laptops.
So apart from the work stuff, I want to play some good games like the Need for Speed series or online games, so I need some decent graphics and RAM.
I also watch quite a bit of movies and TV shows on my laptop.
I'm not fussed if there's no webcam, but wi-fi and at least 3 USB ports should be available.
What else - it should be decently fast but I dont need the fastest. Of course Intel is preferable.
Anything from 300GB HDD and 4gb RAM is preferable.
Can anyone suggest a laptop within $500 with all the above?
