6-piece Home-Theatre Surround-Sound with 1000 watts of power and 1080p ready

PS3

Got a bunch of games to start with to,

Xbox 360:

Dead Rising,Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End,Halo 3 : Legendary Edition, Army of Two, Battlefield 2 : Modern Combat, Call of Duty 3, Crackdown, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Eragon, Fable 2, Final Fantasy XI Online & Ghost Recon.

The speakers of course have nothing to do with 1080p.  I can only assume that the TC is speaking of the AMP.  New amps now have HDMI input/output, the new sony model is fully HDCP/1080p compliant.  I gather you plug the PS3 into the Amp and then output from the Amp to the television.

Be careful of that Sharp LC52D92U that you just bought because that banding issue from last year is still there. Make sure you also adjust the black levels because that TV makes everything too dark. Don't feel bad though, there isn't a perfect TV that you can get. They all have some kind of issue. Personally I'm waiting for the Pioneer Elite 60" 1080p that is coming in September. Have fun with your new setup.

You shouldve got Oblivion for PS3 it loads faster and runs smoother and looks better and you bought some pretty bad games considering you couldve got Motorstorm and Resistance. Of course this is opinion and quite frankly i dont believe you. You just dreamed your dream set up. Now you need to start saving

But i don't think any of those receivers are out yet..

What i think he meant is that the receiver can pass thru 1080p content without any handshaking problems.

But i think this is all bogus...Nobody buys everything all at once...Unless they just recently won money...

if you pre-ordered games that are not even released like GTA4, or will be released by middle-end 2008 like fable 2, why didn't you pre-order mgs4 ,ff13 and others?

Well, I have read some people can be disappointed with them.  The main reason I've read is how the subs are made to be accurate or something by not adding bass where it shouldn't be, so overall it could seem lacking to some. I've thought about the cylinder ones but I ended up with a UFW-12 from AV123 with my Rockets because of a good deal. I recently added a Klipsh Synergy Sub-12 for $299 to give my setup a little extra punch in movies since the UFW-12 is a sealed sub.

I don't know about the impersonating stuff, but that would be bad. If I bought one I wouldn't have based it off a lot more than that like professional reviews against other subs, unless they were paid off too :)

 Not a chance - HD (Blu Ray & HD-DVD) will be around for quite some time. The current batch of HD consoles will have a good 5-8 year life span so all our Hi-Def sets a pretty safe for the forseeable future. Even if "laser TV's" were released next year there would be no content (consoles anyway) that would be able to utilize the new technology!

Isn't that much!? I have a little rule i like to live by -

 Before buying a sweet ride of spending 8.2 GRAND on a GAME setup..........BUY A HOUSE!

 Not sure if dude already has a place, but if he has 8 grand to throw about he'd better have...

SED is dead anyways!

Besides at CES 2007, the 8th generation Pioneer Plasma's were said to have looked just as good, if not better then the SED HDTV's on display.

Halo 3, Army of Two, Fable 2, The Darknesss, Lair are not even available yet.  Most places aren't even taking preorders for most of those games yet, you can preorder them at Gamestop, but nowhere that would sell televisions as well.  Also, Best Buy cut off Halo 3 pre-orders on May 23, and I was just in there and the only gavme they have available for preorder that you listed was Lair, you sir are a liar!
