I have no idea whom I'll be working for after college (some video game company) so i should also ask if waiting till I (more or less) have a "career" may be a better option to take.

Devotion is no problem, the reason I am so interested now is that it's more or less guaranteed that Nintendo is going to cause a stir in the electronics industry (I'm not that big of a fan of 3D but with the numbers movies like Avatar are making, and how companies seem to have a hard on for 3D TVs, it's pretty much assured a lot of companies are going to try and jump on the "3d" bandwagon) and i want a piece of w/e they're cooking up.
With the kind of investment you're talking about you should really look at Roth IRA's. You don't want online trading services to just buy buy buy. Uh i thought Etrade was alright. I can't really recommend anything better because other stuff i've tried was cheaper and like whoever before me said you are just paying for more bells and whistles. if you know exactly what stocks you are going to go after, i'd go with a more bare-minimum service.
