6/10 without surround otherwise an 8/10. Bear in mind I'm going of my setup, I have a 42@ HD panny plasma (2000 GBP) wireless network for extra tidyness and a surround setup to dies for which includes and 1000 pound Onkya 875 AVR and Monitor Audio Radius 270 speakers with an active sub on the way, the radius speakers cost 1200.

You do have a good bit of kit though.

Doesn't it make more sense to get the HD-DVD add-on for the 360?...........Also that doesn't look like DirecTV, what is it? 7/10

you need to clean your wires up a little, just use plastic zip ties, and as for surround wires, just run them round the outskirts of your rrom and hide them under the carpet or skiting boards.

Get some surround and your setup is complete and i'd give it a 9.

thanks for the reviews :). all i need now is 5.1 surround sound and a blu-ray player and the reason im not getting a xbox 360 hd-dvd add on is cause the format sucks. but since the war isnt over, (but its pretty obvious whos goin to win, *cough* blu-ray *cough*) im thinking about getting a LG combo player that plays both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray in one player all for $1,000. i saw an advert for it in Times Square when i was there for vacation. and ya that isnt a DirecTV HD Reciever. its one from my own country, Azerbaijan.

HD DVD sucks? Yeah ok buddy, its quality is identical to BD. Also the LG Superblue is a horrible HD DVD player, also its just as cheap to buy a stand alone BD player with a stand alone Toshiba HD-A2.

Yup, but if you're a gamer i don't see the problem with 360+hd-dvd and a PS3.

The problem is that it can't do high-def 5.1 audio.

Exactly!!

I can understand the opinion that Blu Ray may win the war and that's the decision for getting one, but saying HD DVD sucks is just stupid.

that'amazing' POV is a matter of oppinion and depends on your benchmark. Its a nice setup, but my TV is better IMO, I have a 7.1 THX ultra2 certified AV center and have hidden all my wires away. I havent based my score/oppinion on his living room, just the setup, the house is nice but thats not what were looking at. Disagreeing isnt wrong, and doesnt show jealousy, and theres always someone out there with better kit.

Peace

I'd say 7/10. Its a nice little system. Don't let people that have 2 much invested get ya down. You have the backbone, you can always add more to it.

thanks for the reviews man :). and i think i judged HD-DVD a little too fast, i think i might take some of ur advices and just get the PS3 and HD-DVD Add-on for the xbox 360 and solve the problem all together and it should be cheaper, like $600 but then buying the movies with one movie like $30 all together to get a good library of movies it should cost me around $800-$900 which will make me save a lot of money and i also researched the combo player and i just found out that the HD-DVD part of the player sucks, cause it doesnt support 7.1 surround sound or iHD, the cool menu and features of the HD-DVD movies. and the player itself is extremely ugly, but i heard they are releasing a new one for the same price as the old one and lowering the old ones price to $700. so whatever, i'll probably get the ps3 with hd-dvd add on thou, cause having a ps3 is awesome as well cause of killzone 2 and MGS4 which would be the only reason of getting one for me.

The 360 player doesnt suport these either, but seeing as you dont have a 7.1 surround kit I dont think that should be to much of an issue given the price tag of the 360 add on.
