What home theatre to purchase for my ps3 and flat panel? Brand and capability wise.?

Question

I'm looking to purchase an all in one type Surround Sound home theatre. I want to watch blu-rays and digital cable in surround sound. I'm not sure specifically what set ups would be ideal for me. I'm looking for a 500-700 all in one type package (receiver, speakers, etc), but I just want to be sure I can get surround sound while watching Blu-Rays and capable Televsion.

Thank you guys for the long read and any suggestions or personal experiences would help greatly.

I'm leaning towards Samsung - 1200W 5.1-Ch. XMReady Home Theater System/Upconvert DVD from bestbuy.

Answer 1

Get a component system equivalent to Sony's Blu-Ray Matching Component Home Theater system.  5.1 1000W with 3 HDMI inputs to 1 HDMI output.  This has no DVD player and I wouldn't think you'd want one given you have the PS3.  

We have this particular system and have cable box and PS3 hooked up HDMI, everything going through sound and then to TV.  We love our system.  Price ranges from $400 to $500 with $100 off if you apply for credit.
