Default Buying a weight system...

I want to buy weights for home and am so confuzzled about which system, if any, to buy. Can you all help me out, please. I was thinking of buying this one

Is this a good system? Do I really need this much or should I be looking at something else. I have to go out today to buy one so please, please help me out!
Thanks in advance!

By the way, I am a beginner. I haven't touched weights in 10 years!

That's not a bad price for that. Looks like it covers all of the basic bases ... Kinda cool that it has the leg press ... most combo units like that skip the leg press and only offer leg extensions.

Add a utility bench and some dumbbells and you have a fine little home gym there.

Normally I would say the bench and db's ... but that system at that price will do the job to get your started.

But, you really will want to add in the bench and db's as soon as possible to give your routine variation and make it more challenging.

I am soooooo mad!! I went to go buy the thing and they wanted 229 to install it and 50 to deliver, which doubled the price! I ended up just buying a 100 lb. weight set and a weight bench. I have the weights and the bench will be ready for pick up on Thursday. I figured I needed to get something. I have no clue how to use these things so I guess I have a lot of reading to do.
